TIME TIMER TTP7 60-Minute Desk Visual Timer
DESCRIPTION
Time Timer has demonstrated, throughout the course of the past 25 years, that it is a valuable resource for time management. Developed to illustrate the passage of time through the use of the distinctive colored disc. The colored disc vanishes in a way that is both graphic and clear as time passes, which makes everyday activities, such as those performed at work, school, and home, less stressful and more fun.
The Time Timer PLUS 60 Minute is a flexible visual timer for one hour that can be used by people of all abilities, including children and adults with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This desktop timer is a must-have tool for controlling screen time, studying for an impending test, silent reading, group projects or team building activities, seminars, or managing a long meeting. It is designed for use by both children and working professionals.
You can set the timer for up to sixty minutes by rotating the center knob on the front of the timer in an anticlockwise direction until you reach the desired duration. Your brand-new timer will start counting down as soon as you turn it on, and with just a quick glance, you’ll be able to see how much time is left on the disc because the numbers are huge and vividly colored. No ticking means there will be no distractions! Controlling the volume of the audible alarm (which, in noise-sensitive areas, can be muted) is accomplished by turning the dial located on the back of the timer. In accordance with the guidelines established by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), the battery compartment of the Time Timer PLUS is kept safely closed by a single little screw.

If you do not plan to use your Time Timer® for an extended period of time (several weeks or more), please remove the battery to avoid corrosion.
