Installation and first start
How to install TimerPRO and what you will see after the first start.
- What it is for
- TimerPRO counts down speaking time and shows it to the speaker on a second screen. After installation the program is ready to work — no extra configuration needed.
- Who can use it
- Operator on a Windows computer (installation requires administrator approval).
- Where to find it
- The TimerPRO_Setup_<version>.exe installer from timerpro.eu (customer account) or from your reseller.
1Installation
- Run TimerPRO_Setup_<version>.exe.
- Windows asks for permission to make changes (administrator window) — confirm with Yes.
- Go through the installer steps and click Finish. A TimerPRO shortcut appears on the desktop and in the Start menu.
- Start the program from the shortcut. The program downloads new versions and offers to install them by itself — there is no need to download the installer again.
2Program window
- After start the program window opens on the Timer tab:
- 1 Tabs — all program functions (described in Main screen).

Result: The program is ready: set the time and press Start (see Time control).
3Clock window

- 3 Progress bar — how much time has passed.
4Program language
