Alarms
Each channel has a distinct electronic tone that
sounds at the end of its timing period. Channel
One has one repeating beep; Channel Two has
two repeating beeps; and Channel Three has
three repeating beeps. A channel’s tone will
sound for 1 minute then shut off automatically to
preserve battery life.
CLEARING THE DISPLAY TO ZERO
Press and hold (approximately 2 seconds) the 1,
2, or 3 button to clear the display to zero for
Channel One, Two, or Three respectively. If no
channel is active, pressing and holding the 1, 2,
or 3 button will shut off the unit entirely.
TIMER OPERATION
All the timing channels work essentially the same
way, once you understand how Channel One
operates, Two and Three will seem extra easy.

show all zeros. The symbol will be below
the 1 button indicating Channel One is

digital display, simply press the 1 button to
begin timing. You’ll know timing has begun
when the seconds start counting down.
6. A single repeating electronic tone will sound
at the end of the timing period and the
symbol below the 1 button indicates status
of the timing operation. (See “Channel
Indicators” table).
7. To reset a channel to zero, to turn off a
channel, or to turn off a channel while it is
timing, simply press and hold down the
appropriate channel (Channel One, Two or
Three) for two seconds.
NOTE:
The tone will continue to sound for 1 minute or
until it is turned off. To turn off the tone, simply
press the 1 button and release.
Examples
Channels Two and Three operate the same
way as Channel One, except you press the 2
button for Channel Two or the 3 button for
Channel Three in every instance you pressed
the 1 button when timing in Channel One. Two
examples are given.
Example 1 - Time 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 30
seconds in Channel Two:
1. Press 2 button.
2. Press H button once to read “1”.
3. Press M button until display reads “20” min.
4. Press S button until display reads “30”
seconds.
5. Press 2 button to start timing.
6. When the tone (two repeating beeps) sounds,
press 2 button to turn it off.
Example 2 - Time 9 hours, 15 minutes, and 10
seconds in Channel Three:
1. Press 3 button.
2. Press H button until display reads “9” hours.
3. Press M button until display reads “15” min.
4. Press S button until display reads “10” seconds.
5. Press 3 button to start timing.
6. When the tone (three repeating beeps)
sounds, press 3 button to turn it off.
Reviewing the time remaining in a channel
If you want to review the time remaining in a
channel not currently being displayed, simply
press the appropriate channel button—1, 2, or
3—and the display will switch to show the time
remaining in that channel.
Two or more alarms sounding simultaneously
If two or more electronic tones sound at one
time, the highest numbered channel’s alarm will
be sounding; however, all completed timing
periods will be indicated on display. As you turn
off highest channel tone, you will then hear the
next highest channel’s alarm. For example, if the
timing periods in both Channels Two and Three
are completed, you will hear Channel Three’s
tone until you press the 3 button; then you will
hear Channel Two’s tone until you press the 2
button.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this timer does not function properly for any
reason, please replace the batteries with new,
high-quality batteries (see “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent”
operational difficulties. Replacing the batteries
with new, fresh batteries will solve most difficulties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
To replace the batteries, remove the back
housing of the timer by giving the large screw on
the back of the unit a half turn with a coin or
screwdriver, then replace batteries as shown
using two “AA” alkaline batteries. (Do not use
regular or heavy-duty batteries. They do not
have sufficient power to drive the unit.)
After inserting batteries, ensure the timer display
is operating normally. During timing operation
flashing segments may appear on the display. If
this happens simply reset by removing and
reinserting the batteries. Each set of batteries
should last 1 to 2 years under normal conditions.
The LCD display will remain blank when
batteries need to be replaced.
