The timer can be set to any required value to a maximum time period of 99 hours 59
minutes. The analogue bar graph shows the time left, in minutes, from 30 minutes before
time zero (bar graph on the left) to 30 minutes after (bar graph on the right).
The unit will also beep to indicate the passage of set units of time, the number and
frequency of beeps depending on the time left to time zero. There are no beeps after time
zero. The beep sequences are shown in the table below:
