There's not a lot expert can do when a timer is not functioning because we can't see it or mess with the thing. If you lived next door, I'd be glad to try the following things:
You have the timer and the manual, and can look and see if plastic is covering battery terminals, and see if there is grease or impediment on terminals, or if battery is inserted correct direction and brass contacts touch battery, and check that battery is good, and read manual to see if there is on-off switch.

This timer works on battery, not on electric power. So if display doesn't show with battery installation, the timer simply will not work.
Some of these timers have a solar collector, and I don't know how that factors into the battery operation. It could be battery and solar have a selector switch for either-or.

Open following link for some Gardena resources, including manual and link to gardena site.
The manual might have instructions for on-off switch, or some hint.

Gardena certainly has a glossy site, but I have been unsuccessful trying to contact the company.
Their products come with warranty.

Gardena website does not have program-operation manuals, and their contact page does not contact the company last time I tried. And the manuals search does not recognize the product numbers they show in catalog April 2011. But you can try.

Google search: 'battery operated timer' and 'battery operated hose end'

Smarthome shows the Orbit: and has manual:
http://www.smarthome.com/31035/Orbit-57860-Battery-Operated-Sprinkler-Timer-with-Inline-Valve/p.aspx

The manual says 'turn down water pressure.' It looks to me like this timer opens and closes the valve with or without water pressure.
Sounds like it would be perfect timer for above ground cistern where gravity cause water to flow when valve is opened.

Amazon shows battery operated hose end, but doesn't show manual:
Hose end timers are not going to have a pressure gauge.

Gardena for some reason does not have manuals easily available as of today's date.

There are no replacement parts for water timers.
Clock motors are small with plastic gears, and they wear down and get slow, and then overheat and quit. If timer is electronic, the circuit board and components have finite lifespan and don't last long exposed to elements and daily temperature fluctuation
Be sure to bring water timers inside each winter to avoid cracks caused by ice expansion.

Hello. Have found a link that may help, the category for electronic timers is listed as the 9400 series. I'm guessing Gilmour has generic instructions for all their timers. If this is not the case, the toll free number at the top of the page should yield some positive results - just use the "satisfaction for the life of the product..." line and I'm certain they will assist.

If this helps, please don't forget to rate this answer a four-thumbs up, Thank You.

C1060 instructions translated into English:
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-program-Gardena-C1060.html

Hi Cornwell,

I have timers similar to yours. Happens more often than I like to think about. Here's what I do:

• Make sure there are new batteries, Check the contacts in the battery compartment for corrosion.
  
• Check the manual on/off for unit functionality
• If the device is new (warranty) and it still does not work, exchange it. It's not your problem.
  
• If it's out of warranty and does not work, you have nothing to lose by opening it up. Some of mine just needed the gear box to be nudged.
  

Good luck and happy watering

Mike
