•
Count down timer: starts from the chosen time, displays time remaining. If the time is exceeded, it continues to count
below 0.
•
Count up timer: starts at 0 and displays the elapsed time up to 99 minutes 59 seconds.
•
Model timer:

Once Model timer function is turned off, the cumulate time will also be reset to "0:00".

In either TIMER mode, the timer beeps once each minute. During the last twenty seconds, there's a beep each two seconds.
