What you probably came here for us at about 1:41. Set the dial to Auto. Hit Manual. Use the right arrow to toggle through programs until it gets to the zone you want to run. Once there, hit the up arrow to add time. The trick is that you only have about seconds after you press Manual to start pressing buttons before it runs wherever you last pressed. So, if you get caught cycling through the programs and get distracted, it start running wherever you left off. Easily fixed, though: just turn the dial to off or hit Clear. Hope that helps.

This is the video I have been looking for. Some days (Texas) I need to run via manual. Let me get this straight. Put dial on AUTO, Hit MANUAL, hit PROGRAM, right arrow to A to run all on my program settings and it will shut off and keep my scheduled program. SO VERY COOL.

Thank you for this great video. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to manually run the zones. This was awesome and very helpful! Thank you again.

This video was so helpful. My dad just past away so I'm setting things up so my mom has less work. Non of the timers were working. Thanks to this video, and others from Orbits, I was able to get all the systems back together, programmed & operating perfectly. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I needed this helpful instruction after 10 hours of digging trenches and laying pipe. I wanted to test my new timer and system before calling it a day. Success!

[milindalane]

thank you so much. I needed this one! I wish the manual would have explained this. You were very clear and helpful. This is also good if you want to figure out which zone is on 1, 2 or 3 etc. so you know which one to adjust if it's getting too much.

Most people are here to learn how to manually select and run an individual zone. It helps if you remove your hands from the timer so I can see what you're pressing.

How do you completely turn off zone 3 and have the other stations running as scheduled?

[coleenhaslam]

How do you Program for nighttime and morning watering?, I live in the desert and it dries out so bad during the day and I'm having to hand water at night and I just had surgery and I can't keep up. Thank you for your time.

Hi, my Orbit is not power up anymore. Any idea what went wrong? It’s hooked up to the outlet, I checked the battery and it was good.

Hello! My ORBIT timer, in the MANUAL position, will NOT turn on anything. How can I diagnose the timer? Thank you!

[Maggie_R]

Thank you so much for this video. I was going crazy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and this helped a ton. Many thanks.

This unit has 1-2-3-4 sections for wires plus ground and volts. If you have 4 zones. Do you program the 4 zones seperatly?

Will the manual process override the rain sensor if it has recently rained heavily?

[coleenhaslam]

Do I leave it on auto and manual to run all stations and then tomorrow put it back on the timer?

[chrisgould]

Is there a way to just turn it on and off without disconecting it and using a different valve?

[caliwebman]

gREAT videos! Got a question. Can you please show us how to manually run zone B4?

[antoniogutierrez]

If you select ALL it should open all sprinklers at once? I tried with mine and it seems to do it sequentially.

[AndreaLenert]

We watched your videos; set and reset the timer and though LED digitals all function, the actual sprinklers are not coming on. Any trouble shooting ideas?

Where would I be without You Tube?
