3.1 Quick-Start Preset Timers

The timer cube features pre-set countdowns for common intervals. To activate a preset timer:

1. Identify the desired time (3, 10, 15, or 30 minutes) marked on one of the cube's faces.
2. Flip the timer so that the desired time face is positioned upwards.
3. The countdown will begin automatically after a brief moment.

3.2 Custom Timer Setting

For precise timing beyond the presets, use the rotary dial:

1. Ensure the timer is in a neutral position (display facing upwards, not actively counting down).
2. Rotate the side dial to set any countdown duration from 1 to 99 minutes.
3. Once the desired time is displayed, place the timer with the display facing upwards to start the countdown.

3.3 Pomodoro Cycles

The timer supports continuous Pomodoro sessions:

1. Locate the dedicated Pomodoro button (often marked with a tomato icon or similar) on the device.
2. Press the button once to initiate a 25-minute focus session followed by a 5-minute break.
3. The timer will automatically cycle through these intervals without requiring manual restarts.

3.4 Pause and Resume

To pause an active timer, simply tilt the device so its display faces directly upwards. To resume, return the timer to its active counting position (e.g., a preset face upwards or the display facing forward for a custom timer).

The timer offers multiple alert options to suit different environments:

• Silent Mode: No sound or vibration.
• Vibration Mode: The device vibrates when the timer ends.
• Low Beep: A soft audible alert.

To change the alert mode, locate the alert mode button (often marked with a speaker icon) and press it to cycle through the available options.
