The battery compartment is located on the back of the Time Timer®  Medium RETRO Eco Edition visual timer. Simply lift battery cover up to insert battery into compartment. Replace battery cover by aligning tabs on top edge and gently pushing until you hear a “click”.

The timer itself is quiet—no distracting ticking sound—but you can choose whether or not to have an alert sound when time is complete. Simply use the on/off switch on the back of the timer to control audio alerts.

Use the clear button on the disk and turn counter-clockwise until you reach your chosen amount of time. Immediately, your new timer will begin to countdown, and a quick glance will reveal the time left thanks to the contrasting disk and large, easy-to-read numbers.
