I set the timer (count down) and instead of the alarm going off when the timer is done it immediately starts counting up. How do I make the alarm go?

Lacey, There is a slide switch on the right side of timer with the selections of: "mute/lo/hi"...check to make sure it's set to "lo" or "hi" instead of "mute"

I have had similar issues. My alarm has went off at incorrect times and twice now the alarm did not go off at all. I have since switched to a radio station for the alarm instead of my iTunes. I have not had a problem since.

Once you set the time for the alarm, turning on the alarm is an easy one-button step you need to do each time. A light shows up in the display showing you that the alarm has been set. I actually prefer this to having the alarm going off at the same time every day.

If it is moved or gets jarred it will make a loud "chirp" as a warning. I haven't had any false alarms with it. I believe if the alarm is triggered that it goes off in like 15 seconds unless the code is entered before that.

When the time expires and the alarm goes off, hitting the stop button resets it to the last time entered. All you have to do to start it again it hit the stop/start button again. Pressing both the minutes and seconds buttons together resets the timer to zero.

The little black levers (first row) around the entire time dial get pushed down for the time you want the timer to be "on". I usually set the time to the current time (turn the dial) and then push down the black "levers" starting with one or two before the current time (this allows the unit to start up once it is plugged in). It's difficult to push just one lever down at a time so push a few down and then pull back those you don't want. Hope that helps

The timer is a count down timer. It does not have a real time clock. To use it you need to turn the heater on and then set the runt time 1hr, 2hr, etc. You cannot use it like an alarm clock.

From reading the instructions, you have to set all the alarms at once, so you'll need to go through the alarm setup from the beginning. Press button 1 and then release. Set the time by using button 2 for hours and button 3 for minutes. When the time is right press button 1 again to save the alarm. It then advances to alarm 2 and you set it the same way. When you get to alarm 3, press button 2 until the display says --:-- which occurs after 11pm. It says to end by pressing button 1 until the alarm symbol stops blinking.

Just turn it so the zero is facing up. The alarm should stop when you do that

According to the paper that came with it, you press either the sounds or the volume key to stop the alarm,. I tried it, but it doesn't work very well. The tune usually doesn't last very long, but there is one tune that goes on and on.

I don't know about a counting-up feature, but the timers can be started and stopped independently. And the alarms are different too, so you know which one is chiming if the timing is close.

The motor that drives the timers clock needs power all the time. If the power is interrupted for a period of time the clock will stop and timer will be off the same amount of time the power was off. Check to see if the power that feeds the timer is on a switch that maybe turns on a light someplace in the house you maybe turning off and on the power that feeds the timers clock. Good Luck

goto your settings, and check to see if you have automatic timer....turn off

It has to be reset every time you use it. It counts down to zero from wherever you set it. If you set it for 20 minutes it shuts off after twenty minutes. It's a great little timer for the price! I have had mine for 3 years and they're still working perfectly. I take them inside for the winter.

No I would think you would have to reset timer every time you start something. I reset timer every time I use the one I have. I guess the best way to say it the timer will count down. Then after that the timer will restart its self & count UP. FRANZ

It will automatically turn off after 1 hour. AFAIK you can't change this behavior but you can extend it to two hours if you set 2 alarms, one hour apart from each other.

To get it to count up, press the Start/Stop button once. It will begin to count up by seconds. To turn it off and reset it to zero, press both the M (minutes) and S (seconds) buttons at the same time.
