I cannot get my timer to quit beeping, I try to seat the timer and it just beeps loudly. It's really frustrating that I can't set the timer. HELP!!!!

They do not pack the machine well. They don't crimp the wires well. So one must have fallen off. All my wires fell off. I had to figure it out.

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

No. I think you'd have to set it for 25 minutes, and then 5 to get a warning. The only timer I've ever found with a warning beep (which I think is very helpful!) is the Teach Timer. It's kind of old now, and pricey. Good luck.

I had the opposite problem. Couldn't get it to come on. Just bought the cheaper mechanical timers. No problems at all with them.

I have only let it go for about 5 min. after the timer went off. It beeps loudly.

I think you got a lemon. I had a similar issue with mine. I had to unplug the unit wait a few minutes and the plugged it back in. It kept beeping three times and I just gelded the button down until it beeped once. Haven't had any problems since.

I guessing you could set each of the four timer buttons for a different amount of time, but I do not use the clock feature, so I can't comment on that. My bigger concern is that you might not hear the beeps inthe course of your daily life, because they are not very loud. If you have a smart phone with different alarm options, is hould think that would be the better way to go. I am sorry not to be able to be more helpful.

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

There is two things that I noticed that control the sound. Answering the yes/no prompt when setting the timer, and the black volume control on the side of the base. Maybe this will help.

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... . .

Because of the poor quality of the item, you just might have to go to another vender. But try this: Take the batteries out of the transmitter. Then with the receiver already turned on, replace the batteries in the transmitter. Then wave your hand in front of the transmitter and let it "bond" with the receiver. You should hear two to three beeps at the receiver, then your unit should stop repetitive beeping. Other wise try finding a better vendor.

It beeps when you plug it in, it beeps when you set it and it beeps when it's done! To my knowledge you cannot adjust the sound level...I too wish you could because the beep is not a pleasant ding, but our family has gotten used to it, so now I don't mind.

Not that I have found. I have 2 and I can program out the countdown, but haven't (tried) to stop the beeps. Re-read the instructions and found nothing about that.

I don't know of a way, but I agree that it's not very loud. I suggest you set another timer with a louder beep as a backup!

So I just tested mine and it does beep about 4 times every 10 seconds but it's not too loud or intolerable. Justenough to create a sense of emergency. I sized mine out for 60+ min of Critical Communications runtime but these are really meant to be used for short-term save everything and shut down functionality. You may be able to turn the beeping off but honestly, it's not too obnoxious.

Make sure timer is moving. I had same problem and replaced timer. It lasted more than 20 years.

I haven't experienced that issue. I was thinking though, do you have a timer set? I am sorry. Please let us know how you get this resolved.
