The Gymboss Interval Timer will be most effective if you take a few minutes to learn the setup procedure before you set out for your workout. It is really quite simple but does take a few minutes to learn, so we highly recommend you learn the setup procedure and the capabilities before using it, and you will find it very effective. Instructions are also included with the timer and a short cheat is printed on the back of the timer.
There are 3 buttons on the Gymboss Timer, NEXT, CHANGE, and START.
| NEXT |
- Push NEXT to move to the next step during setup. |
| CHANGE |
- Push CHANGE to change the displayed value during setup. |
| START |
- Controls starting, stopping, and pausing of the timer. |
You must first understand how the buttons work and the difference between “HOLD” and “PUSH”.
| HOLD |
- means hold until you see a change in the display, about 3 seconds, then release. |
| PUSH |
- means to just push and release. |
Place a good quality battery such as Energizer or Duracell into the timer.
To turn your Gymboss ON by pushing any button.
The timer will turn OFF with no use after 5 minutes, or you can hold the NEXT button for 3 seconds to turn off as well.
