    Use the Manual Start/Stop Zone option when you want to quickly start an individual zone or stop a 
    zone that you started with this option. You can set the manual runtime between 1 second and 18 
    hours.


    Note: You cannot use this option to stop a zone that is running in a program. Use the Start/Stop 
    Program option to stop a currently running program. 

    1. Press the Manual Run button. The Manual Run menu displays. 
    2. The Manual Start/Stop Zone option should be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, press the up
      or down button to highlight it, and then press the OK button. The Manual Start/Stop Zone screen 
      displays. 
    3. Press the down button to move to the Runtime field. Notice that the field shows the default 
      runtime of 10 minutes. The hour placeholder is highlighted. 
      1. To move to the minutes placeholder, press the right button.
      2. To move to the seconds placeholder, press the right button again. 
      3. To change the time, press the + or – button.
        1. Note: To rapidly increase or decrease the value, press and hold the + button or the –
          button.
    4. If you want to allow more than one zone to run at one time during the manual run, press the 
      down button to highlight Max Concurrent, and then press the + or – button to change the 
      number. 
    5. Press the up button to highlight the Select Zone(s) field, and then press the OK button. The list of zones displays. 
    6. Press the down button to highlight the zone that you want to start or stop, and then press the OK button. 
      1. Any zone that is started with this option shows the runtime countdown to the right of the 
        zone number. The zones that are not running show Done as their status. If the Max 
        Concurrent field was set to 1 on the previous screen and you start more than one zone on this
        screen, the status of the additional zones is set to Waiting.
        Normal watering resumes 60 seconds after the manual run is complete.

    CAUTION! If you press a button on the controller to leave this screen while a manual run is in 
    progress, the manual run will stop.
