Charge the battery every 3 months, and remove the
batteries if your Smart Sprinkler Controller will not be
used for an extended period of time.
Please use only cold and clean water.
The working temperature of the controller is 0°C~40°C /
32°F~104°F and the working water pressure is 25
PSI~100 PSI.
Turn off the faucet if your Smart Sprinkler Controller will
not be used for an extended period of time.

router and within reasonable distance to your Smart
Sprinkler Controller.
Avoid a location with electronic appliances that
generate strong magnetic or electric fields, such as
microwave ovens or refrigerators.
Safety Requirements:
Keep away from sources of heat and fire, i.e. a space
heater or candle.
Place in a cool and well-ventilated indoor area.
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
