The answer, alas, is: nigh impossible.
The written directions make no sense whatsoever. I searched online for useful directions; there was nothing. I fiddled for hours and although at times it SEEMED that I had it figured out, if you turn the damnable thing off it erases all of your settings, and because it''s such a counterintuitive hunk of hateful junk, I could never get it right again. And you can forget about changing helpful optional settings such as alarm volume, alarm duration, and so on.
You won''t get any help from the manufacturer, either, as they have no contact information available anywhere that I could find---online, on the written directions, quote unquote, that came with it, or on the product itself. It''s as if the manufacturer is ashamed of having manufactured it and want nothing now to do with it or its miserable purchasers.
In fact, it''s so useless and so frustrating that it raises the ugly possibility that it''s not really a product in the conventional sense but more like a scam. I''m tempted to smash it open to see if it has any working parts inside or just the broken dreams of orphaned children and hate mail from the Manson family and friends.
Are we allowed to lobby for Amazon to stop carrying certain products? If so: please, for the love, quit selling this agony-in-the-box.When I received my shipment we actually didn''t even see the round timer at first, it was smaller than I had expected but hangs handily on the wall. You can set how many rounds, how long each round and how long each break between rounds, which works perfectly for mma/boxing/circuit training. The auto-off is nice post-workout, especially for home workouts, not having to worry about turning it off or wasting batteries as a result. It''s simple once you take five minutes to figure the whole thing out, tho the directions kinda suck and the yellow up/down arrows are misleading as they don''t function like they appear to, but the volumes completely controllable and gets plenty loud if you need to turn it up over music or anything, and the comparably priced Everlast and Title timers I''ve seen aren''t really comparable.Good timer for the money. Didnt think it was gonna be that small. It fits into my palm. and the up and down buttons on it are pointless, because its only a single button and only go''s up....This little critter has quickly become one of the most used pieces of equipment in our gym. It does exactly what we need. I wish there were a pause button, but that''s nitpicking. There -area couple of tricks to using this timer, so do not throw the directions away until you got it figured out.
