I would like my son to use this to time his allocated hour of video games. Can he pause it?

I think it will keep counting down as long as the battery is in it. It doesn't appear to be easy to pause.

No, it cannot. You need it to interact with all of the games actually as there are no arrow buttons. That is just a light next to the word motion to show you when it is activated. It does turn off for some of the things on it's own.

I don't think so. When the timer is counting on, input to all the other controls seems to be blocked.

I do believe that the item is always in timed mode. That way the student will know if they are getting faster at their answers. You can however turn off the sound by holding down the on off button for a second after you choose your level. I have not found a way to turn the timer off. Maybe they have improved on the original model.

Unfortunately no. You'd have to set it every three hours, it cannot be programmed to do more than 1 setting at a time.

Yes you can set it for 30 sec intervals, or any amount of time you want. It is by sound.

Yes you can. There is a button on one side of the boom that you can press for 2 seconds to pause/resume audio.

You should be able to. I use mine while playing games through steam with no problem. There is no mute button, but otherwise no complaints.

No, not really. You can only set it to go off a certain number of hours and minutes from the time that you set it. If it was the same number of hours everyday from when you were setting it to when you wanted it to go off you can just re-start easily to count down again once it has gone off.

I don't think so. I keep it set at 3 hours and the only way to stop it from working is to unplug it. (e.g. I only want it on for 2 hours)

You can turn off different controllers at any time. If you don't want others to know what you're doing just act as if you're adjusting the volume. They can't go wireless. You would need a small table to put them on. When we play, I pull up a small table and use the smart board to have the questions. Then, have the students in the "audience" write down what they think the answer is so that it is 100% participation. Let me know if you have any other questions. The kids love it! You can even have a setting that makes them answer it before the timer goes off if you want a faster pace review. You can turn off different controllers at any time.

Yes. You can set player one to have 10 minutes for the game, and player two to have 5 minutes, or any other interval. It is fully adjustable. It takes only a few moments to make the setting.

Yes you can set the work time (20sec) the pause (10sec rest) and the number of rounds (intervals) and save up to 5 timers
747391
Yes - but only for intervals of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. If you want to set it for 20 or 25 minutes, you are out of luck.

I have not tried to do this. I am pretty sure the answer is no. The 2 timer modes only count up.

If it's a DVD or Bluray and you've set the remote up for that device, then yes, you can *pause* the program. If you're referring to On-Demand or a streaming video service such as Netflix, then I can't say for sure.

I don't believe you can, but I am not 100% sure. It is designed to tape for limited periods of time (up to 2 hours) and not as a monitor.
