Set Watering Start Times
Start times are the time(s) of day that the program begins.
You can assign up to 8 Start Times to a single program. Multiple Start
Times allow you to run a program more than once on each day. For
example, if you’re growing new lawn seed, you may want to water
several times a day to keep the seedbed or top dressing damp.
NOTE: Start times apply to the entire program and not just to an
individual station.
Turn the controller dial to Start Times
At the Set Start Times screen, press the + or – key to activate the
1st Start Time.
Press the + and – keys to set the hour, then press the Right Arrow
key. Press the + and – keys to set the minutes.

NOTE: Cycle+Soak™ is an alternative method of dividing the
total Station Run Time into smaller cycle times. If you plan to use
Cycle+Soak, only a single Watering Start Time is required for each
program. See "Cycle+Soak™" on page 33 for more details.
