Quick usage tips
• By default, each timer has its controllers inactive. This is to avoid accidentally stopping or resetting an active timer and losing your time
• Touch the pad for a timer to activate the controls. The controls will appear and become active before they disappear again in a few seconds
• Press the button with the gears to bring up the settings for each timer. Here you can set the countdown time and alarm sounds. You can also give the timer a name
• The play button is a three stage toggle. Press it to start, stop and reset the timer
• Need a stopwatch? Set a timer to zero. When started, it will count upwards
• Once the countdown is finished, the timers will start counting up instead of stopping at zero. This way you can add a minute or two to your event, or if you are late for an event, you can see how late you are
• For the alarms to sound, the app needs to be running. You can lock your screen, or receive a phone call, but if you would like to run another app, you will need to restart PentaTimer to hear the alarms. You will not lose your settings or the countdown times if you exit and restart PentaTimer
• Smart power management advantage. If the device is attached to a power source, PentaTimer will prevent it to turn off the screen.
If it is running on battery, PentaTimer will allow the screen to turn off, but prevent the device to go into deep sleep. This way you can have your device in your pocket and still hear the alarms.
