4. If the Weather Region number is programmed
incorrectly, press À to move the cursor loca-
tion to the number and use the
Œ or Õ to
change the weather region number.
5. If you continue to have the No Weather Data
message, contact your WRSP or call Rain Bird
Technical Services at 1-877-351-6588 to verify
that no weather data is being sent.
Note: In the Automatic Control Mode, when weather
signals are missed the ET Manager will automatically
calculate ET for the missed signals. Even though sig-
nals are missed, the ET Manager will continue to oper-
ate. If weather signals are not received for more than a
day then the ET Manager will calculate ET based on
weather data from the last 7 days. If there is no weather
signal received for more than a week, the mode auto-
matically uses the pre-programmed Historical ET val-
ues.
No Paging Signal
Your ET Manager is programmed to a specific Signal
Provider Code to receive the weather signal.
Commercial wireless paging systems carry the wireless
weather signal. The ET Manager regularly verifies the
presence of the weather signal. If the weather signal is
not detected after a period of time the Attention
Indicator Light comes on and the “No Paging Signal” is
displayed.
Actions to take: If this Attention condition occurs,
wait two minutes to ensure the weather signal will not
be detected within the next few minutes. If the
Attention message remains, follow these steps:
1. Navigate the menus to the Weather Signal
screen.

2. Press
À to reset the pager.

3. Monitor the Accuracy percentage and the Test
Counter. Should these values increase, the
paging signal may have been restored.
4. If the Signal changes from “Not Detected” to
“Detected,” your paging signal is restored. If it
remains “Not Detected,” continue to step 5.
5. Verify the Signal Provider Code is programmed
correctly. If the Signal Provider Code is pro-
grammed incorrectly, use the
Œ, Õ and À
buttons to set the codes for A through J.
