      If your Orbit Timer won't power up, the issue could stem from a defective or incorrectly connected transformer. Also, check that the transformer is plugged into a working AC outlet and that the timer is fully seated on the docking port.

      If stations on your Orbit Timer are turning on when they shouldn't, it might be because the water pressure is too high. Also, check if more than one cycle is programmed or if stations are set to water with both programs.

      If stations on your Orbit Timer continue to turn on and off when they are not programmed to, it could be due to multiple cycles being programmed, excessive pressure, stations being set to water with both programs, or water budgeting being set to more than 100%.
