PODIUM SPEECH TIMER RED YELLOW GREEN REGISTRATION

The speech type is used to determine at what times the appropriate colored lights will turn on. Pressing the grey button displays speech setup screen. Just below that display shows a progress bar which ranges from time zero up to after the time in which the red light turns on – at this time the lights will blink indicating that the speech have overtimed beyond the hard maximum speech time limit. Above the numeric time display shows at what times the green, yellow, and red lights will turn on. The Timer tab shows the timer display along with the green, yellow, and red time markers. But it helps people when they prepare their speech their home. Of course it is not as complete as the whole course.
