Run call timers
Start shared countdown and count-up timers on the dispatch board, on a call, a unit or on their own.
The Timers strip on the dispatch board holds timers shared live by every dispatcher.
Start a timer
- Press + Timer or T.
- Enter a label, up to 40 characters.
- Attach it to the selected call, to a unit, or to nothing.
- Choose Count down from 00:10 up to 12:00:00 (type
mm:ss,h:mm:ssor plain minutes), or Count up. - Press Ctrl+Enter.
Work a timer
A chip shows LABEL 04:12 with a down arrow for a countdown, an up arrow for a count-up, and a pause mark while paused. With a chip focused, Space pauses or resumes and Delete removes it. Its menu also restarts and renames it.
Good to know
- At zero a countdown's chip flashes (steady with reduced motion) and the Timer expired sound plays once on each open board. Reloading doesn't replay an old expiry.
- Timers on a call or unit are removed when the call closes or the unit signs off.
