If I need the timer to go off every 30 minutes as a reminder to my father, will it do that? Or does the timer need to be re-set every 30 minutes?

The timer will go off and then needs to be stopped. Once stopped, it stays set for 30 minutes but needs to be tapped again.

if you set it for 30 minutes it will beep but then you will have to press STOP and then restart it.

It would have to be reset before it would...which wouldn't be hard, since you have to go turn it off (unless you want to listen to it beep for a couple minutes), you could just push the yellow button twice, and it would start again counting down the minutes.

The old polders were good, the new ones have buttons that are much smaller and a lot harder to use. Also, it is darned hard to set.

Not sure, but I set the timer if I'm going to be multi-tasking. ;) And then it shuts off at the appointed time.

I am sorry my father who has dementia uses it at the nursing home. The staff turn is on for him and for him the timer is perfect as he uses it at night before bed. Sorry I was not helpful.

I'm not certain I understand the question. You set the timer for the minutes you need and when it reaches that point it will ring and turn itself off. You are always able to stop the timer by a click the buttons should you wish to for any reason.

The timer runs on the power provided at the receptacle it's plugged into. The timer will stop any time the power goes off, since it has no internal mechanism to keep it running. When the power comes back on, the timer will start up again, but its setting will be off by the amount of time the power was off. To maintain the appliance ON/OFF times you want, you will need to reset the timer dial to the correct time every time there has been a significant power interrupt.

Yes. The timer has 4 different timer settings. Timer 1 is the regular one that gets used the most. But, Timers 2, 3 and 4 can be programmed in memory so that you can recall the time every time you want to use it. See my other post, though. The first time this gets knocked off the counter, it's history.

It is a simple stop timer. It does not have the functionality to stop at the same time every day. You have to reset the timer every time it is turned off.

No, you do not have to reset the time again provided you pressed the start/stop key. Just press the start/stop key again when the timer has finished and it will recall the previously set time and countdown from there.

Sorry i set my timer to run during the night and i have never checked to see it it is functing correctley. Instructions were shipped with the device and it was simple to set ( I think.) I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

I don't know about the 30 second time....but when I use mine for a 30 minute time it will set itself for another 30 minutes'

No, in order for it to start again at the same time you must press Clear, then Memory. That sets all three timers back to the time last used.

No, it counts down to 0 on the timer and stops at 0.Have not tried counting up but it should keep going but have to watch the timer.

The motor that drives the timers clock needs power all the time. If the power is interrupted for a period of time the clock will stop and timer will be off the same amount of time the power was off. Check to see if the power that feeds the timer is on a switch that maybe turns on a light someplace in the house you maybe turning off and on the power that feeds the timers clock. Good Luck

I have noticed that a lot of manual timers, need to be turned past a certain point in order to "ring" at the end of the time. If u don't turn it past 10 it might not ring loud enough when time is up.

I'm sorry. I don't know if it does. I don't have these automatic timers anymore, sold them with the home I left them with. Sorry I can't answer your question. I set timers for a certain time but not like your times. They worked well for me. Sorry I can't answer your question. :o/

The timer beeps three times then pauses for about 1 second intermittently for 30 seconds. To set the timer you press the minute button repeatedly for how minutes you want to set. Same with the seconds. It is a good timer and has a memory function for the last setting. Take care not to drop it.

No, it is a standard timer that only goes up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. You have to reset it every time you use it.
