CONTINUOUS TIMING
The maximum count-up time is 23 hr, 59 min, 59 sec. After reaching 23 hr, 59 min, 59
sec, Talking Timer rolls over automatically and continues timing from zero. For timing
that lasts over 24 hours, simply count how many times the unit has rolled over and
continued timing.

START/STOP button to “freeze” the display at the current reading (time-out). To
resume timing from the point it was stopped, press the START/STOP button again. An
unlimited number of time-outs may be taken.
SIMULTANEOUS MODE USE
The Count-up, Countdown and Clock modes may be used simultaneously. For
example: Start a countdown in the Countdown mode. Switch to Count-up mode to start
a count up time. Switch to the CLOCK position to view the time of day. Countdown and
count-up continue to run as shown by the flashing indicators on the display.

new, high quality batteries (see “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power
can occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing
the batteries with new, fresh batteries will solve most difficulties.

should be replaced. Follow these steps to replace the batteries.
1. Flip up the clip on back of the unit to expose the battery compartment.
2. Slide open the battery compartment using your thumb.
3. Remove the exhausted batteries and replace them with two new batteries.
