timer setting

Minutes until done

A timer setting is the duration configured on a timing device—how long before an alarm sounds, a photo is taken, or an appliance turns off.

Check the timer setting on the oven.

The camera's timer setting gives you ten seconds to get in the shot.

Most devices offer multiple timer settings to choose from.
