1. Install 1 AA Battery

The battery compartment is located on the back of the Time Timer® Original Pocket. Simply pull battery cover down to insert 1 AA battery into compartment. Close battery compartment by pressing closed until you hear a “click”.

2. Choose Your Sound Preference

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 red on/off switch on the back of the timer to control audio alerts.

3. Set Your Timer

Use the center knob to turn the red disk 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 brightly colored disk and large, easy-to-read numbers.

The Dry Erase Activity Card, included in all new 2021 and beyond models of the Time Timer® Original line-up, can be placed into the slot on the top of the timer for time-to-task management or visual schedules.

How to install the AA battery

Time Timer Original Pocket 

To install the AA battery in your Time Timer Original Pocket:

  1. Open the battery compartment on the back of your Timer.
  2. Find the ribbon inside the battery compartment and pull it over the words “Made in China.”
  3. Insert the AA battery with the positive (nub) end first into the compartment OVER the ribbon.
  4. Place the cover back on the battery compartment. The ribbon should stick out.

To install the AA battery in your Time Timer Original Pocket Update:

*The update includes a shallower battery compartment for easier battery replacement. 

  1. Open the battery compartment on the back of your Timer.
  2. Insert the AA battery with the negative end first into the compartment on the spring side
  3. Place the cover back on the battery compartment. 
  4. When you’re ready to replace the battery later, simply open the battery compartment and repeat the steps.
  • Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
  • Do not force discharge, recharge, disassemble, heat above 100ºC/212ºF or incinerate. Doing so may result in injury due to venting, leakage or explosion resulting in chemical burns.
  • Ensure the batteries are installed correctly according to polarity (+ and -).
  • Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of batteries from equipment not used for an extended period of time according to local regulations.

The red disk is out of place.

Sometimes the red disk on your Original Time Timer 3" can come out of its place and completely cover the face of the timer. If this occurs, watch the video below and try the following:

Gently press down on the edge of the disk while moving it backwards. This will reinsert the disk under the edge of the face.

The red disk stopped moving

If the red disk on your Original Time Timer (including Pocket, Medium and Large) stops moving, please try the following:

  1. First, make sure you timer has a fresh battery if you have not replaced it recently. 
  2. Next rotate the red disk clockwise from 0 to 60, and then back to 0, preferably while using a small air pump or air spray like for cleaning keyboards.  This will clear any dust or debris that might have become trapped under the disk.
  3. Ensure the white face is under the 3 placement holders (located in top left section of the inside face) to prevent buckles from stopping the disk.

The video below illustrates Point 2 and 3 in action.

The clear plastic button used to set the Timer came off.

No worries! This is easy to fix. Take the clear plastic button (or another very lightweight button) and superglue it in its proper place.

Ensure that no superglue gets on the red disk or the timer face, as this could disrupt the timer’s movement.
