Detailed Description

The timer uses a large central display to show the active time, countdown, count-up value, or stopwatch reading. A green Work light identifies an exercise interval, while the red Rest light indicates a recovery period. The Bluetooth status indicator shows whether the unit is ready to pair with a mobile device.

The Power Button is positioned on the top of the housing. The rear panel contains the Power Port, two timer mounting points, and four points for a compatible TV bracket. The supplied remote provides access to the timer’s interval programs, countdown and count-up modes, clock settings, brightness, volume, sound, and reset functions.

Preset workouts are useful when a session follows a fixed work-to-rest pattern. Custom modes are available when the workout requires a different number of rounds, work duration, or rest duration. Saved settings can also be assigned to shortcut keys numbered 21 through 30 for faster access later.

Safety

• Use the supplied power cable with a suitable adapter when required.
• Ensure the power cable is fully inserted into the Power Port before switching on the timer.
• Install the timer only on a secure wall, vertical surface, floor stand, or compatible VESA 100 bracket.
• Use appropriate mounting hardware for the selected surface and support method.
• Keep the unit and power connection away from water, excessive moisture, and conditions that could damage electronic equipment.
• Do not obstruct the display, work light, rest light, or ventilation areas while positioning the timer.

Mount the Timer

For wall installation, use the supplied template to mark the two timer mounting points before drilling or installing hardware. The timer can also be fitted to the optional Timer Floor Stand.
