Gardena C1060 cannot be operated manually

I have a Gardena C1060 plus solar water timer. I've just brought it out for the spring. It has been stored in a lighted place all winter, to allow the batteries to continue functioning. However, when I press the manual button the timer flickers for less then a second (showing 30 minutes of manual use) then goes back to the program mode. Has anyone got a solution for this problem - not being able to operate it manually?

    I've been pointed to a solution which has worked for me. The problem is that sometimes the solenoid gets stuck and needs to be back-flushed.

    Cause 2: Due to long periods of storage, in particular new water computers or timers may have jammed or sticky solenoid valves which do not open immediately. Occasionally this also occurs with water computers which are put back into use after the winter break. Solution: Reverse flush the water timer by following these instructions. Unscrew the unit from the water tap. Connect a hose to the water tap in its place. Connect the other end of the hose to the outlet of the water computer (the inlet of the watering computer must remain open). Turn on the water tap and actuate the manual ON / OFF switch on the watering timer 5 times for about 4 seconds each. Then replace the water computer on the water tap. The blockage should now have been cleared.

Just bought 2 c 1060 plus, put a new battery in and no life tried the other timer and the same happened. could it be the battery? or do i need to do something special.

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.

Need user manual for c1060

1) C1060 manual is available in Italian with French
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Gardina-C1060.pdf

2) I used google translate and converted some of the manual into English.
This information will certainly get the do-it-yourselfer going without needing to buy another timer.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-program-Gardena-C1060.html

3) If the handy do-it-yourselfer needs to convert other parts of manual into English, use google translate and copy-paste full paragraphs into translator.
Translator recognizes the language and gives workable-to-good translation
http://translate.google.com/#

4) Gardena is only water-timer company that has no manuals online to support their products. Melnor and Raindrip both have support and manuals.
This explains why so many folks post gardena questions on fixya

Which gardena water timer will work the best?

Generally speaking, fixya sees more complaints about Gardena water timers than other brands. Maybe more Gardena timers are sold, or maybe the timers have problems.
There are no sources for water timer parts for any brand, and nobody reports being able to fix a water timer once it goes bad.
Any plastic outdoor device that works with a battery-operated clock motor cannot last more than a year or so, and will crack if exposed to freezing water.
I suggest the cheapest timer.
