Any issues with the timer? How does it work?

The timer works just like any stop-watch type of timer. You can start it , stop it, and also start it back up after stopping it if you'd like. The only downside is that you cannot reset the timer without turning the scale on/off completely.

Although the scale takes a bit of time to catch up when pouring quickly, I've had no issues with the timer. Still very happy with the purchase and recommend to anyone looking for a quality scale. http://www.hario.jp/pickup.html

This is a great device, the timer is no problem, the scale is accurate. The coffee is excellent

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

The timer is on for four hrs and then it will turn off automatically. The following day if will turn on exactly at the same time you turned it on for another four hrs and so on. I believe if you don't use batteries for the time that might do the trick so that it is turned on all the time, but you will have to test to find out. I haven't tried it myself.

The first of these timers I acquired was from Home Depot and it was a piece of junk, i.e., it would not keep a program, turn off when programmed , etc. It was returned to the store for a refund. The 2nd I acquired from True Value and I've had zero problems.

Mine has been on for about a month straight, and a timer is no problem. It's the same as if you were to switch the power on and off yourself.

Hi Laura, It took me awhile to figure out how to set the timer. (I actually had to read the instructions!) But now it's no problem! Hope this helps, Sarah

I have been setting my timer to 9 hours, and that seems to work well. You can control the timing. If you think 9 hours is too long, set for less.

Mine got into exactly the same state. Turns-out the battery was simply under-powered (so not completely dead, but not powerful enough to make the timer work). When I changed the battery, the timer starting working again just fine!

Invest in a new one. That seems to be an issue with this timer. It's a great timer though and worth the investment.

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.

I am sure the timer allows you to manually override the timed settings. (Most timers do allow this.) The On/Off buttons provide this capability.

The timer is not designed to function this way. You must turn it off each time it counts down.

What do you mean? The only timer I have seen is the auto shut off after certain time. That is about it.

I set mine on "timer" and then switched it to "on". It worked for a while but about half of my timers wouldn't hold the actual time so they wouldn't come on at the right time.

Have had mine for a few days, and I can't get the timer button to work. Any clues?

Hit the button a few times, it is on a timer. I have this one at my lake house with no issues. Perhaps contact seller.
