Getting Started
Double-click the Timer application to open it. To start a count-up timer, simply
click the
Start
button. To start a count-down timer, use the up/down buttons
next to the hours, minutes, and/or seconds values to set the duration, then
click the
Start
button. You can also move the mouse over a field and roll the
scroll wheel to change a value, or type directly into them.

Using Timer
You can have any number of timer
windows open at a time and each one
can count up or down independently of
the others. One timer window is opened
when you start the program, additional
windows can be opened by choosing
New Timer
from the File menu.
Timer determines whether to count up or down based on the how you change
the hours, minutes, and seconds values in each timer window. If you set the
hours, minutes and seconds values all to zero, clicking the
Start
button will
cause the value to count up. Setting the hours, minutes, or seconds to any value
other than zero, clicking the
Start
button will cause the value to count down to
zero.
You can operate a timer from the keyboard. Move the mouse over the hours,
minutes or seconds display and type the desired value (only when the timer is
not running). Press the tab key to move to the next value. Press the space bar
to start or stop the timer, the R key to reset it, the T key to turn the tick sound
on or off, and the A key to turn the alarm sound on or off.

Sound Settings
To change the sound settings, click the disclosure arrows to the right of the
seconds buttons and a panel will slide out of the bottom of the window. The
Tick Sound
checkbox affects the continuous soft ticking sound, while the
Alarm
Sound
checkbox affects the final five seconds ticking and the alarm sound.
Move the sliders to change the relative volume of either sound.
You can choose from over 20 different
sounds to play as the alarm sound, and
each alarm window can have a different
setting.
You can assign a title to the timer
window by entering the desired text
next to “Title”.

Using Your Own Sounds
You can add your own sounds to the alarm list in timer by dropping sound files
into the Timer Sounds folder (C:\Program Files\Timer\Timer Sounds). You can
also remove any sounds that are no longer needed by removing them from this
folder.
