Troubleshooting
Possible Solution:
- Verify program: station time, watering start times, watering days schedule, current time, current day, water budget and rain delay.

Possible Solution:
- Disconnect power to controller for 1 minute. Reconnect power and reprogram.
- Install fresh 9-volt alkaline battery.
