Product Information
Full details
The Keyring Sensory Timer is designed for individuals seeking a portable, discreet tool to manage stress, anxiety, or sensory overload while on the move. Its primary benefit is providing an instant, mesmerizing visual distraction that encourages grounding and focus in high-pressure environments like school, the office, or during travel. While highly effective as a calming tool, users should note that as a small accessory, it is not a heavy-duty medical device and may be susceptible to damage if subjected to excessive force or drops.

FAQs
Does this timer require any batteries?
No, the sensory timer is gravity-operated and requires no batteries or electricity.
Can I leave this in a hot car?
It is not recommended. Extreme heat may cause the liquid to expand or damage the seals of the casing.
Is the liquid inside toxic?
The timer is designed to be sealed; however, it should not be opened or tampered with. If the casing breaks, wash your hands thoroughly after contact.
How long does the timer cycle last?
The duration of the flow varies slightly based on temperature, but it is designed for short, repeated cycles rather than precise timekeeping.
Can I wash the timer under water?
You can wipe it with a damp cloth, but submerging it in water is not recommended as it could trap moisture near the keyring attachment.
Troubleshooting
Liquid appears stuck or moves slowly
Gently shake the unit once or hold it in a warmer environment for a few minutes to normalize the liquid viscosity.
Visible scratches on the surface
Use a specialized plastic polishing compound to buff out light surface scuffs.
Keyring clip feels loose
Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to gently squeeze the split ring closed for a more secure connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is minimal; simply attach the keyring to your desired location. Compatibility is universal as it functions independently of electronics or complex software. To ensure longevity, keep the timer away from extreme temperatures, as excessive heat or freezing cold can affect the viscosity of the liquid inside. If the exterior gets dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may cloud the transparent casing. If the timer is attached to keys, ensure it is not pressed between heavy items to prevent potential cracking.
