Information Displayed When Programming
The LCD will display these kinds of data with the Function switch in the "Set Programs" position, in conjunction with the following dial settings:

Valve Run Times Shows minutes (e.g., 15 MIN) or hours (e.g., 1.5 HOUR). Also displays "OFF" for unused valves. Start Times Displays time in AM, PM, or OFF for unused start times. Skip Days Shows days numbered 1-15, or OFF. The words, "ONCE EVERY" appear to the left. Schedule Displays ON or OFF. If "Skip Days" has been set, 3 dashes (---) and the words, "SKIP MODE" will be displayed for each of the 7 daily settings. Today Displays 7 individual days for a weekly schedule, or displays day interval numbers (1-15) for a "Skip Days" schedule.

Information Displayed When Operating
With the Function switch in the "Run" position, and the dial set to "Current Time," the number of any valve that is on will be displayed.

Automatic Mode with No Program On With the Function switch in the "Run" position, the current time with a flashing colon (:) is displayed. If the entire display is flashing, the controller has just been plugged in or there has been a power outage. If the colon is not flashing, the controller is using battery power.
Automatic or Semi-Auto Mode With Program On Shows the current time. Turn the dial to a valve that is on, and the display will show the valve number, the program (A, B or C) and the time remaining for the valve to run. If you turn the dial to a valve that is not currently on, the display shows "OFF" (even though that valve may have a programmed run time.)
Manual Mode With the dial pointing to the appropriate valve, the display shows the valve's number, an "M" (for manual mode), and the time remaining for the valve to run.
Short / Malfunction Detection A flashing "OFF" indicates that the dial is pointing to a valve that has a short or other electrical malfunction.

NOTE: After a power outage or when the controller is energized, the display will flash 12:00 PM (or the current time if it was a short outage.) Stop the flashing by pressing either of the +\- buttons.
