Frequently Asked Questions

Does it increase?

No. only counts down from the time limit you specify. But having three counters and a clock feature is wonderful.

Is there a limit of 100 minutes or hours on this timer? It’s unclear which one from the description above.

The timer will reach a maximum of 100 hours, but not minutes. To achieve 100 minutes, you would need to set the timer for one hour and forty minutes.

What is the situation? How challenging is it to take the battery door off?

It stands up by simply pulling down the lever in the back. It is simple to replace the battery. In the direction of the arrow, press down on the back. replaced the battery, then secured the back.

I currently use a timer that is too silent. Has this timer a noticeable beep?

Neither the loudest nor the softest I’ve heard are comparable. If you have difficulties hearing the timer, it does continue to sound until you stop it.

How do I make the alarms function?

Press the start button once you’ve specified the required time to countdown (for example). The alarm will beep briefly to notify you that time has passed and then cease. Additionally, you can stop the sound by pressing the start button one more.

Does this timer sound after each keypress? I detest that, and the previous one did not act in this way!

Yes, it appears to do so, and I am aware that my previous one didn’t either. Nevertheless, it can be challenging to find a three-channel timer these days, and this one works well once you get used to the chirp that occurs with each press. In addition, you can hear the final ring when something is finished, which is something that some other timers don’t allow you to do. The timer at William Sonoma doesn’t chirp. But because the rings and channels aren’t coordinated, I couldn’t remember which channel was for what, which drove me mad. I decided to go with this one, and I’m glad I did. I have grown accustomed to the chirp while setting it, not it.

If I don’t use the timer function, does the time display?

When you wish to check the time on any of the three timers, hit the “clock” button to display the time of day. If you check the time on the clock while doing this, the timer function is unaffected. The timer continues to run. The timer’s default setting is not the time of day.

How to turn the clock off. I occasionally hit the clock by accident. I’ve managed to unintentionally turn it off, but

Press “CLEAR” to switch to a timer while seeing the clock. You will then receive a timer with a 0000 start time. Simply press “START/STOP/MEMORY” to start counting up from that point. If you wish a countdown timer, enter the desired starting hours, minutes, and seconds and press “START.” I have no understanding how the “MEMORY” functions.

How is the clock set?

From the instructions, the response is: TO SET CLOCK

Press the HOUR button to move to the proper hour. Hold down the CLOCK button for roughly 5 seconds or until the numbers flash in the display. The AM or PM indicator will appear in display. The HOUR button can be held down to alternate between AM and PM settings every 12 hours. To advance to the correct minute, press the MINUTE button. Hold the button down to advance the minutes. If a programming issue occurs, simply push the corresponding HOUR or MINUTE buttons until the right digits show. To set the clock, press the CLOCK button. The clock mode will keep counting seconds. Simply tapping the CLOCK button will allow you to check the time at any time. The corresponding T1, T2, or T3 icons will flash in the display if timers are running.

How can I change the clock to the timer?

Simply press stop, then release. The clock mode will be reset as a result. Put these three timers to use. Push Time 1 to start the timer, and then enter the desired duration in seconds. Timer will sound when it expires. Use the Start/Stop/Memory button at the bottom to start and stop.
