5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe the timer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.

5.2 Battery Care

Replace batteries when the display becomes dim or unresponsive. Remove batteries if the timer will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

• Timer not turning on: Ensure batteries are correctly installed with proper polarity and are not depleted. Replace with fresh AAA batteries if necessary.
• Display is dim or flickering: This indicates low battery power. Replace the AAA batteries.
• Timer unresponsive or stuck at 00:00: Remove and reinsert the batteries to perform a hard reset.
• Difficulty setting time with rotary knob: Ensure you are rotating the outer ring. A slow rotation adjusts seconds, while a rapid rotation adjusts minutes. Practice the motion to get accustomed to the sensitivity.

• Timer sliding on magnetic surface: Ensure the surface is clean and flat. The magnetic back is designed for strong adhesion.
