Just received this today. Timer counts down but does not beep when it gets to zero. Any suggestions?

Consider yourself lucky. I have four or five of these things and they don't even count down. Oh, what I would give for a timer that counted down. (Probably a couple dollars more than I tried to save on these!)

Ours rings at 5 minutes before the end and at the end of the time. I set it for 15 minutes and it rang at 10 and 5 minutes and at the end of the time. Not sure what to tell you.

This happened to me also. Just press the timer/clock button on the lower left and it should reset properly.

It flips down for the timer. Try unplugging it, then resetting the timer dial, then plugging it back in and flipping the switch down. Hope this helps!

Mine beeps until I close it then stops and starts count down and then beeps again

The one I bought did not work and shipping it back to a third-party seller cost money, so it still sits here to see if I can get it to work. But I had an identical one for years before and a red light blinked on the bottom face of it. There was no beep, I'm sure.

I have only let it go for about 5 min. after the timer went off. It beeps loudly.

Press the Min and Sec at the same time to clear your settings. Now press Min for what you want and then do the same with Sec When you want to start the timer press Start/Stop. It will beep when the time is up. Then press it again to stop the beeping. If you don't it will eventually stop by itself. I have several of these timers, they work very well.

Wish I had an answer. I've noticed that about mine as well. I set the duration for 10 seconds, and it only dumps for 5 on the timer.

I believe it only beeps if the unit has detected a surge. Once the surge clears and the unit is functioning properly, it should not continue beeping. The 3 units that I have do not continuously beep as you describe and there have been several brownouts in my neighborhood. Make sure you see a green light under the red one. If not, there's no surge protection and that could be why its beeping. I would contact Customer Service and verify that you didn't receive a bad unit.

To get it to count up just push the START/STOP when the display reads 00:00 and the timer will count up. Press START/STOP again to pause and resume timing.

Not that I have found. I have 2 and I can program out the countdown, but haven't (tried) to stop the beeps. Re-read the instructions and found nothing about that.

I think you got a lemon. I had a similar issue with mine. I had to unplug the unit wait a few minutes and the plugged it back in. It kept beeping three times and I just gelded the button down until it beeped once. Haven't had any problems since.

I'm assuming you want to turn it off after it starts beeping. Simply press the button on the far right. If you depress the two buttons on the left at the same time it resets it to zero. Hope this helps.

if you shut off at twenty minutes when alarm sounds...it will reset to twenty minutes, but you will manually have to press start again to start the 20 min countdown. if you don't shut off, it will alert 'beep, etc. for one minute, then shut off and reset. still have to press start to countdown again. loudest timer i could find. chefzee

Usually I hit the beep button twice then it works. Make sure the collar is set to the right channel too if yours has three like mine does. Hope that helps.

Make sure timer is moving. I had same problem and replaced timer. It lasted more than 20 years.

Mine got into exactly the same state. Turns-out the battery was simply under-powered (so not completely dead, but not powerful enough to make the timer work). When I changed the battery, the timer starting working again just fine!
