Can I change the Lithium backup battery in my ESP-TM2 controller and what type of battery does it need? Also, do I need to "register" my controller to activate the 3-year warranty?

Manual watering function not working
Hi I’m starting my rain bird esp-tm2 and I want to have it on auto run but when I turn the switch to auto it doesn’t turn on I can manually run it so that works
The Rain Bird ESP-TM2 may not be starting in auto run mode due to incorrect program settings. Ensuring that only the desired program (e.g., Program A) is set with the correct start time and run duration is important. If multiple programs have active start times, the system may run longer than expected. Additionally, checking for wiring issues or performing a factory reset may help resolve unexpected behavior.
