Frequently Asked Questions
How does the random timer work?
When you press Start, the timer picks a random duration between your minimum and maximum settings. The display shows a question mark so you don't know when it will fire. When it triggers, it plays your chosen sound.
Can the random timer repeat automatically?
Yes. Enable the Auto-restart toggle and the timer will pick a new random duration and start again after each trigger.
