Orbit 62001 Timer's Valve Won't Close
 

This is essentially my first time out with this timer, and the valve won't close. I
used it last fall once or twice, and it seemed OK, perhaps. I used it briefly and at
a time I wasn't able to pay close attention. I set it up today and pressed the Manual
button, entered the duration, and the little droplet appeared in the window with an
ON inside it. I had it attached to a faucet with a hose on the other side of the
device. Water just poured right out the hose whether Manual was on or not. Is there
some secret to triggering the valve? I put in new batteries.

I did accidentally open the compartment on the valve section thinking a battery was
in there. Nope. So I screwed it back in place. Seemed straightforward enough.
