SAFETY ..........................................10

Warning! Keep toddlers away when you assemble the unit. Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers. Warning! This unit makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or kill, we recommend persons with medical implants to speak with their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating. The unit can be used in the temperature range 5 °C – +50 °C outdoors. Batteries: To ensure the Water Control runs safely, only 3 x alkalimanganese (alkaline) batteries type LR6 (AA) (Mignon) must be used for the authorized temper- ature range 5 °C – +50 °C.

GBDANGER! There is a risk of explosion if batteries are not replaced in the proper manner. See 6. STORAGE for information on how to dispose of used batteries. Do not use re-chargeable batteries. In order to stop the Water Control from failing because of a weak battery if you are away for a long time, the battery must be replaced when the battery display flashes yellow. The batteries should not be removed while water- ing (leads to continuous watering). Setting up WARNING! The Water Control must not be used indoors. v Only use the Water Control outdoors. The Water Control may only be set up vertically with the sleeve nut to the top to prevent water penetrating into the battery compartment. The minimum water output to ensure that the Water Control functions correctly is 20 – 30 l/h. For example, at least 10 - 15 x 2-litre Drip Heads are required to control the Micro-Drip-System. The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 °C. v Only use clear fresh water. The minimum operating pressure is 0.5 bar, the maximum operating pressure is 12 bar. Avoid tensile strain. v Do not pull the hose connected to the Water Computer.

Water Control: The Water Control is controlled automatically with the GARDENA smart App. Sprinklers, a sprinkler system or a drip head watering system can be used for watering. The Water Control carries out watering fully automatically according to the set program and can therefore also be used during holidays. Early in the morning or late in the evening, evaporation and therefore water consumption is lowest. Controls / Display:
