TIMER “POWER-OUTAGE MEMORY” — If
electrical power to the timer goes off, the
“memory” built into timer circuitry keeps all
settings for 6 hours (minimum) or more. The
display is blank and the softener will not
regenerate.Whenelectricalpowercomeson,1of
2 things will happen.
1. The present time of day will show, meaning
the timer memory has kept all settings.
NOTE:

was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
2. The display will show a time, but it will be
flashing.The timermemorydidnot keepthe
timesettingsandtheymustbereset(page6).
The flashing display is to remind you to reset
the timer.
NOTE:
When power comes on, the flashing display
returns to a time of 12:00 AM Sunday, then
begins tokeep timeagain. Ifyou donot reset all
timesettings,thesoftener will regenerate 3 days
each week. However, regeneration will most
likely be on the wrong days and at the wrong
time.
