Merlyn Quick Tips: How To Set A Timer

‍

Educators like you know that timers play a key role in 21st century classrooms. They help manage transitions, encourage authentic engagement, and increase the pace of instruction. With Merlyn, you can easily set timers using only your voice.

Here’s how:

1. Press and hold the Push-to-Talk button on the Merlyn remote. 
2. Holding the remote 2 to 3 inches from your mouth, give your request. “Set a timer for 30 seconds.”

It's that easy. You're off and running with timers.

To pause your timer, press and hold the Push-to-Talk button on the remote and say “Pause timer.” To resume, press and hold the Push-to-Talk button and say “Resume timer.” You also can stop the timer at any time with the voice request "Cancel timer." When the timer expires, press any button on the remote to stop the chime. 

And setting timers is just the beginning. Using Merlyn and the power of your voice, you can find files, get answers to questions, control presentations, set reminders, and so much more.
