The battery-powered programmable speaker timer for conference rooms, classrooms or other small venues. Select from preset talk lengths. Each program activates a sequence of green-yellow-red lights and may beep on light changes or blink at end. Programs may be grouped in count-up and count-down formats. Programming is done via a USB-connected PC. For sophistocated applications, two TimePrompts can communicate over a wireless link. One can act as a remote signal light; the other acts as a master controller and vice versa. Each is a stand-alone TimePrompt.
