If your Time Timer® PLUS has a Play/Pause button, to play the timer push the Play/Pause button on the front of your timer until you hear the click and the button is completely flush with the front of the timer. To pause the timer, push the Play/Pause button until you hear the click and the button pops forward. The orange ring around the Play/Pause button will be visible when the countdown is paused. When the button is flush with the unit and no orange is visible, the timer is counting down.
*The key is to make sure you hear the click to ensure you push your Play/Pause button all the way.
