See the footnote:

*MP Heads vs. PGP Heads

*MP (high-efficiency) heads disperse water more slowly than PGP heads. This reduces water runoff by allowing your lawn more absorbtion time. While more efficient, MP heads require a longer run time than traditional PG heads.

To tell which type you have, look at the spray pattern:

* MPs apply water in several pin streams

* PGPs spray in a jet-spray pattern simliar to a garden hose.

...

Note: My irrigation guy pointed out the recommended runtime sticker in our home was for PGP heads which is incorrect for most homes before 44 with MP heads.
