Provided your Time Out batteries are good look behind the device, put it upward (with the integrated plastic loop up).

Now you have 2 push buttons, one up with an arrow, the other one down with an arrow. If you push and release immediately any button, the Time Out will beep (three times if first alarm set up at 3000 feet, 3 times then a short delay then another time for 3500 ft, 4 times for 4000 feet and so on. (3000 feet is the minimum altitude to set the first alarm, 12000 feet is the maximum altitude set up), the second alarm is at 2500 feet and is fixed and has the beep frequency doubled, the third alarm is at 1500 feet, is fixed and is a continuous beeeeeeeeeeeep.

Exercice: Suppose your Time Out is set up at 6000 feet for the chosen alarm altitude, the first one. You want to set it up at 4500 ft for instance. Push continuously on the down button, you will hear in sequence the first alarm at 6000, then 5500, 5000 then finally 4500 and at that time relase the down button. Same to raise the first alarm altitude by using the up button. You always hear the first alarm altitude by increment of 500 feet and you stop right away when hearing the alarm altitude you want. Is that clear enough?

Note: When having a Time Out, at about 500 ft after take off it will beep twice (short beeps) which means the batteries are OK. It will beep again at the alarm altitude (eg. it will beep 5 times at 5000 ft). If your Time Out does a long beeeeeep at 500 ft and stop, that means it is still OK for at least one jump but you need new batteries.

I still have my Time Out and have used it for many years. I have also a Protrack in my helmet thefore having two beepers. But as far as the alarm beeps are cocerned, I still prefer my Time Out which is louder.

Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
