5. When the display is showing the desired Hours, Minutes, and Seconds, press the TIMER button once to enter the new

NOTES:
• When you change the timer from the 23:59:59 default setting to a new setting, the new setting becomes the new default.
For example, if you program the alarm to turn on after 90 minutes, this becomes the new default setting. The next time
you press the TIMER button the new default setting on the display will be 90 minutes.
• When the timer begins counting down the display and cabinet lighting will remain ‘On’ for 5 seconds and then shut off
automatically to extend the battery life.
Replacing the Batteries
When the display becomes dim and begins to fade and the volume of the sounds becomes weak you should replace the
batteries as soon as possible. If weak or exhausted batteries are left in the battery compartment they will eventually leak and
cause damage to the unit and possible damage to the surface below the unit as well.
Always replace all 3 batteries at the same time and do not mix different types of batteries.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the 3 new batteries removed from their package and ready to install before you remove
the old batteries from the unit. If you can replace the batteries within one minute you will not need to reset the clock. But if
there are no batteries in the battery compartment for more than one minute it will be necessary to reset all clock functions
after the new batteries are installed.
