When timer time is running unimpressed by the alarm using the zero out further, so that you can if you ignore these see how far it has covered its set time limit or continue coats - that worked with me right the first time but only with a deactivated alarm, because if you the alarm when it reports via Start / Stop button turns off itself, it ends at the same time also the running count entirely. The solution: If you instead press one of the other two buttons, the alarm ends well, but the count is running anyway. This is useful for example in the kitchen, when after a set time the alarm is triggered: one wants to leave him, because annoying, but because the food is not quite done is you want that the clock continues to run for orientation. This is possible as described, if one pushes the alarm with one of the top two buttons, not with the Start / Stop button.
There is a Hours / minute and a minute / second mode, both function independently: So it is really two clocks in one, you can not change within a count display. If you want to work with a period of 100 minutes, the device must be set in advance to hour / minute mode. The purpose of a simple slide switch on the back. The hour / minute mode counts up to 20 hours, so that the appliance can be used as an alarm clock also quite.
What makes this device over similar special is that there are three different, rhythmically identical alarm signals can be activated by small slide switch on the back: red flashing light (optical), Funkwecker typical beeping (acoustic) and Vibrate (sensory / acoustic). You can select an alarm or disable several or all at once, or at all. The alarm will be activated in operation after one minute automatically if you do not stop it by pressing a button itself. The beeping is quite loud and penetrating in my device and fully charged batteries, at least like a digital alarm clock. The silent alert is jarring-strong, but if you put the unit on a pillow or blanket, it sounds soft and buzzing. This device is also ideally suited as a meditation Suhr.
At the back of a spring-loaded, fold clip is attached, the optionally serves as a crab, magnetic clamp or placement support. A useful device. The magnet is flattened with me at the edges and has no sharp edges.
The display can not be switched off (unless you take the batteries out), however, is likely to be close to zero by the mere display of power consumption.
Only significant limitation: The unit is not really suitable for your pocket: the housing is full 2 cm thick, behind it there is the bulky clip, and front buttons are open. The display is also not illuminated. For sporting activities outside the home and use in the great outdoors, it is therefore only of limited use. (For such purposes, we recommend a typical sports stopwatch with appropriate equipment)
For home and indoors I can wish for nothing better against me. Overall, a great device at a low price, of the functions ago pretty thoughtful, versatile, simple operation and stable processes. It looks like a small Jukebox. A short manual, which however does not go into all the details, is attached. Batteries are fortunately included and already installed - inside the battery compartment you must take another plastic tab, then it jumps to.
