Setup
Your Taylor Mechanical Long Ring Timer requires no batteries or complex assembly. It is ready for use directly out of the packaging.
- Remove the timer from its packaging.
- Place the timer on a stable, flat surface where it can be easily seen and heard.
Operating Instructions
To ensure the alarm rings for the full 5 seconds, it is crucial to wind the timer past the desired time before setting it back. This action fully engages the internal mechanism.
- Wind the Timer: Turn the dial clockwise all the way to the 60-minute mark. This winds the internal spring mechanism.
- Set the Desired Time: Turn the dial counter-clockwise to the desired time setting (e.g., 15 minutes).
- Start Countdown: The timer will begin to tick, counting down the set time.
- Alarm: Once the dial reaches the zero mark, the timer will sound a loud, approximately 5-second ring.
Important Note: Failure to fully wind the timer to 60 minutes before setting the desired time may result in a shorter or no alarm sound.
Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and accuracy of your timer.
- Cleaning: Wipe the timer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the timer in water or use abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the timer in a dry place at room temperature.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the timer to extreme heat, cold, or humidity, as this may affect its mechanical components.
