Functions

• Digital Timer: The primary function of this device is to work as a digital timer.

This function is extremely useful for timing cooking tasks, baking, brewing, or any other activity where precise timing is crucial.
• Stopwatch: In addition to its timer function, this device also doubles as a stopwatch. You can use it to measure elapsed time, which is useful for activities like tracking your workout sessions, recording time intervals, or monitoring how long a process takes.

Alarm Function

• The timer includes an extra-loud alarm that is designed to notify you when the set time duration has elapsed. This loud alarm ensures that you can easily hear and respond to the timer, even in a noisy environment.
• When you set the timer to a specific time (e.g., for cooking or baking), the alarm will sound once the countdown reaches zero. This feature is incredibly helpful for ensuring that you don’t overcook or undercook your food.
• The alarm is a crucial component for time-sensitive tasks, providing an audible signal to alert you when it’s time to check or complete your activity.

Memory Setting

• The memory setting on the timer allows it to recall the last timer or stopwatch setting used when the timer is stopped.
• For example, if you frequently use the timer for the same duration (e.g., 10 minutes), the memory setting will remember this duration. So, the next time you need to use the timer, you won’t have to manually input the time again. Instead, the timer will start with your previously set time, saving you time and effort.
• This feature is especially convenient for repetitive tasks where you require consistent timing intervals.

• Clean the timer regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt, residue, or spills. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the timer’s surface.
• The timer is not waterproof, so avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to excessive moisture. If the timer gets wet, dry it thoroughly before use to prevent damage.
• When the battery indicator displays a low battery warning (“Lo”), replace the batteries promptly to ensure the timer’s continued functionality.
• Use two CR2032 lithium batteries, which are included with the timer. Make sure to insert them with the correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment.
