Are the programs reusable? Like if I set T1 for a 1 hour countdown, can I just restart the countdown or do I need to reprogram T1 each time I use it?

since it counts down to zero, you can't reuse. you have to re set. very easy to set though.

There are 4 possible timers that can work at once. For each one, if you enter a time and hit ENTER on the bottom row, that time can be called up at that button. you can also set a different time, not hit enter, and your set time is still available. I have each button programed for a different time.

Frankly, this timer can do it I think. Program T1 for one time and T2 for another. The problem is, the beep it makes is barely audible even when you're in the same room. If the TV is on loud, or anything else, I don't always hear it.

Yes, it retains the setting unless you clear it. My problem is the beeper is not loud enough for me. Otherwise, it works great.

You must reprogram each time it's used. I wish it DID have that function; if it does, I sure haven't found how to implement it.
273185
the settings count down to zero then start counting up to who knows where. You aren't programming the timer so much as you are initializing its functions. I would not buy this timer again for a multitude of reasons and plan to replace it soon. I do not like this timer and am sorry I bought it.

All you have to do is set the time you want, and before you press start, press the enter button. Then, that button will be set with the same time every time you select it. Sometimes you have to press timer button twice to make show the time you have saved with the enter button.

No, I don't think so. It starts from scratch. It takes only seconds to re-set though.

Plug it in for an hour. You should see the time display return to the screen. You can then reprogram or it may still have the on/off time in memory.

No, it is strictly a count-down timer. You can manually change it after the 2 hours, but cannot program it to change for you.

According to the manual, it has 7 total programs. Each program has an on and off setting. If you set something for every day it only uses one program so you could set up to seven programs in a day, so for your example it would only take up two programs. The granularity of the settings are in minute increments. It also doesn't check if you set it up properly, at least to the best of my knowledge.

Yes, programming can be done in as small as 1 minute intervals. Each on/off is an event, and up to 8 events can be set per day.

I just tried to set it for a 24 hour countdown. The most I could do was 9:99:99. I don't know about a count up, but I imagine it would be similar.

I have good news about that question. It does retain the messages for a few days in my experience and I have never lost the programming on my sign. The bad news is the time does not hold and the selections are scheduled and executed by the time stamps. If you only have 1 programmed message then its no worries because it is automatically marked as the default msg. Hope this helped and I am compelled to advise that a computer novice could have trouble getting the results they want. The computer software uses DOS scripting and a virtual modem or another way to say it, my mother would never get it working... If that doesn't scare you then it can do many things! (I plan to use it in my car when / if I do not need it in my store!) Enjoy, Greg

This has got to be the most user-friendly one on the market. That's why I searched so long and finally ended up buying online (none of my local stores carried it anymore).Press the "PROG" button and then set the hours and minutes for the "ON" time, with the corresponding buttons on the right. Press "PROG" again and then set the "OFF" time the same way. When you're done, simply press the "CLK" button and you're done. If you want to enter multiple programs, simply continue pressing the "PROG" button and you will be led into program 2, 3, 4...etc. This has got to be the most user-friendly one on the market.

Not that I've been able to find. The countdown is in minutes AND seconds, but you can only set to minutes.

Yes. Since two separate timers in one package. Just have to press either T1 or T2 to select either one.

All you have to do is select one of the 3 timer areas (T1,T2 or T3), then using the number keypad, type in your time making sure you type in the required amount of numbers to have it be hours, minutes or seconds and then hit start. For example, for 45 minutes, you'd type in 4500. Simplest timer I've ever worked with. I just love it.

I would give some thought to something like the Woods Import digital countdown timer. It is made for exactly the type of application you described. There are other timers there also, hope this helped.

I had no problem programing my unit. I found it similar to setting a digital watch. One button steps you through the modes while another button selects the value in that mode. The instructions were a little vague but understandable. I really don't know what to tell you without more details.

It just plugs into a standard outlet. You cannot program it for anything other than the times shown. It is a simple button push to move from onesetting to the next. It is not a repeating timer either. It completely shuts off when it times out.

Yes, you can. The large button on the right (start/stop button) can be pushed to have the timer start counting time 0 seconds and up. You can them push the button to stop and then push it again to restart keeping track of the time. You can also set the timer to count down in time and you can stop and restart it this way too.

Yes, you can count up and then stop. The time will start again at your command. This is not done in the timer mode but with the clock setting. If you needed to stop, time exactly a 30 sec time out then this is not what you need. However, if you needed to just stop the time counting up and begin again on command it will work.
