If you want to run a fountain for two hours but don't want to be around to have to turn it off.

The only thing I can figure out, all 20 presets are programed then this gives you an option to turn on and have timer count down to an off time. Then you have to switch back to normal mode. Why? I don't know. =-)

Yes, you can. Push Menu and use the middle two keys to go to System Settings. Select the Tool item. Select Power Off Settings. Use the middle two keys to set a countdown time in minutes. Works just fine on mine (Firmware 2012/03/15 1.0.23.0315)

Press the minute button once. If I remember correctly, you will not see the seconds count down like most timers, you will just hear the sound after one minute. I gave this to my granddaughter so I do not have it with me. I did not know it was like this when I ordered it, I am so used to seeing seconds count down 59, 58...

Not sure about your first question. Opening the case does not change anything as far as the counter is concerned. The "count up" timer happens when you fail to stop the reminder that your requested time has been reached. After many sound reminders go off and you don't stop this, the timer will start a "count up" to reach the requested time again. I have never tried to us it without beeping but I am sure you would not be able to do that because it would defeat the purpose of reminding you with sound. Also not sure this would work for you as you seem to need more than what it is designed to do. Hope this helps. Not sure about your first question.

No, it won't automatically do that. If you're near it when the timer goes off & push the red button to stop it. You can then push the Start/Stop button & it will begin a count UP. I'm thinking it will keep counting up till it reaches the maximum. But, no, it won't start a count up automatically.

Press the "M" and "S" simultaneously to zero out the time. Then hit the "start" button to count up. Not intuitive! :)

To get it to count up just push the START/STOP when the display reads 00:00 and the timer will count up. Press START/STOP again to pause and resume timing.

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

No, I do not believe it has a countdown timer, but please read the product specs to be 100% sure. Now that it's winter at my location, my stopwatch is in storage with other sports equipment.

I have not tried to do this. I am pretty sure the answer is no. The 2 timer modes only count up.

Just be patient. It is the old "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". I followed each direction and was able to set the time and timer. I use the timer all the time. Good luck. Barb

I sat at my desk in the house and programed it. I have trouble seeing it where it is outside in the pump house. I can then just change the duration times as I need (still a bit hard to see). if it helps the time that first displays is always midnight

It has a program button that you hold and set a time. We have not used it before.

You are talking about baking, I presume. You use the minus sign under "Time" and press it until it is at the time you want. It is a drag, but it works.

I actually like turn dial more than a keyboard... One thing I'd like if it was a bit more sophisticated and could select with a push of a knob. But what is there works. You can do increments under 30 seconds by 5 seconds, I believe. As you go into multiple minutes, increments stick to 30 seconds though.

Hi - If you set the timer to count down, after it counts down and goes off, it will count up, but no alarm at the end of a count up time if that is what you are looking for. BEWARE of one thing about this timer. If you set it for an amount of time and it goes off, a normal individual's (me?) expectation would be that when you hot the switch to turn it off, that's it and the alarm will not continue to sound. Well, that's wrong. This crazy product will continue to ring every (30 secs? 1 minute?) until you go stark raving mad and exile it to another room so you no longer have to hear it. BUT - there is a solution I only recently discovered on my own. After you hit the STOP button, hit the button on the upper left side of the screen to return to the Clock function and the alarm will not continue to sound. This may sound crazy but the alarm problem was so annoying I avoided using this timer for about 2 years until I stumbled over this solution. And in answer to your second question, you would have to set alarm times and have the alarm go off to do a count up, but the 3 channels are independent.
