3. Operating Instructions

The Secura Visual Timer is designed for straightforward operation. Follow these steps to set and use your timer:

1. Setting the Time: Turn the central dial clockwise to the desired time duration, up to 60 minutes. As you turn the dial, a colored disk will appear, representing the set time.
2. Starting the Countdown: Once the dial is set, the countdown begins immediately. The colored disk will gradually disappear as time elapses, providing a clear visual indication of remaining time.
3. Silent Operation: The timer operates silently without any loud ticking, making it suitable for quiet environments like classrooms or study areas.
4. Alarm Notification: When the set time expires, the timer will sound an alarm. The duration and volume of this alarm can be adjusted using the switches on the back of the unit.
5. Stopping the Alarm: To turn off the ringing, you can either wait for the set alarm duration to complete (3 or 30 seconds) or manually turn the volume button to 'mute'.
6. Resetting the Timer: To stop an active countdown or reset the timer, simply turn the dial back to the "0" position.

Important Note: Do not rotate the dial counter-clockwise beyond the "0" position, as this may cause internal damage to the timer mechanism.
