4. Memory Function

The timer retains the last set countdown time. After the alarm sounds or the timer is stopped, pressing the START/STOP button will recall the previous countdown setting, allowing for quick reuse without re-entering the time.

Maintenance

• Clean the timer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
• Replace the AAA battery when the display becomes dim or the timer malfunctions.
• Store the timer in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

• Timer not turning on or display is dim: Check battery installation. Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity. Replace with a fresh AAA battery.
• Alarm not sounding: Verify the mode switch on the side is set to 'Loud' mode. If in 'Silent' mode, only a red light will flash.
• Buttons unresponsive: Remove and reinsert the battery to perform a soft reset. If the issue persists, replace the battery.
• Timer not adhering to metal surface: Ensure the surface is clean and flat. The magnet is strong, but heavy vibrations or uneven surfaces may affect adhesion.
