Troubleshooting
Timer Not Charging
If the timer is not charging, ensure you are using the provided Type-C USB cable. Some USB-C cables, particularly those designed for data transfer or specific devices like iPads, may not be compatible for charging this timer. Always use a USB-C cable with a USB-A connector on one end for the power source, or the original cable provided.
Timer Not Turning On or Functioning
- Ensure the timer is fully charged.
- Perform a long press on the power button to ensure it is powered on.
- If the timer randomly switches to silent mode or stops working, it might indicate a low battery or a need for a full recharge.
Difficulty Reading Numbers in Low Light
The embossed numbers on the timer's faces can be challenging to read in low light conditions. For better visibility, consider marking your frequently used time settings with a small sticker or placing the timer in a well-lit area.
