6. Labelling Irrigation Valves and Radio Switch  
If you replace the batteries when the Control Unit is not connect-  
ed to the mains you will reset the unit. TIME and 0 for the hours  
flash on the display and you must enter the time and day (refer  
to section 7.2 Setting the Current Time and Day of the Week).  
v Label the Irrigation Valves and Radio Switches using the stick-  
ers provided with the irrigation valves. Match them to the corre-  
sponding channels on the control plan.  
Before installing the batteries in the Radio Receiver and/or  
plugging the Radio Switch into the mains, you must activate the  
registering mode of the Central Radio Control Unit. The receivers  
are then registered automatically (refer to section 7.3 Registering  
Receivers).  
This ensures that the channels are assigned to the radio receivers  
and radio switches in a clear, unambiguous way. This is particularly  
important when you begin to use your irrigation installation again  
in the spring.  
(For example: Sprinkler-System = channel 1, 2 and 3,  
Lightline = channel 5)  
You must also insert four 1.5-volt AA batteries in the Radio  
Receiver Art. 1244/1245 (see operating instructions for Radio  
Receiver). The Radio Switch Art. 1246 does not require batteries  
because it is connected directly to a mains socket.

The batteries prevent loss of data if a power failure occurs.  
The batteries have a limited working life if the Central Radio Con-  
trol Unit is disconnected from the mains power or if a power out-  
age occurs. In order to operate your Central Radio Control Unit  
without power from the mains, you must install four 1.5-volt alkaline  
(AA) batteries (do not use rechargeable batteries). These batteries  
are no longer used as soon as you connect your Control Unit to the  
mains.
