When the two right digits change to "- -" between "23" and "00" hours, the start time is eliminated. Note #1: If "00" shows the timer will start a cycle at midnight. Note #2: Start time indicates the the starting time for the entire cycle, all stations operate sequentially after the programmed start time. The stations do not have separate start times; e. g. , "2 12" does not mean station two starts at noonit means station one will run a second time at noon, and when it is done, station two will run, etc. [. . . ] The "Auto/Off " rain shutdown mode is a short-term shutdown only, not a winterization mode. In addition, if you're in a freezing area, be sure your sprinkler lines don't have any water left in them.
