Problem
I go to a meeting and I am asked to time speeches and events to help the Toastmaster. How do I do it? I learned it years ago but had forgotten. Therefore I am making a note which I shall email myself.
Answer
Go to the clockface symbol amongst the symbols for apps and click on it. Up comes a selection of icon choices on the bottom of the screen. Choose stopwatch.
You should see one button on the middle left and one button on the middle right. The left one is marked start and stop. You also have the symbols re-set.
If somebody is allowed to speak for one minute or ten minutes, you do not have to set that time and count down. You can set the start, watch the clock, and switch off when the rotating and rising visual numbers move from zero to the limit of the time they are allowed to speak.
When the clock hits the number of minutes you require, press stop and re-set and wave at the speaker with your hand or the red card. If they don't look at you and nod slightly, wait until they pause at the end of a sentence and call out, "Thank you!"
The Toastmaster of the Day or Evening will get the hint and move forwards to shake the hand of the speaker and usher them off the stage.
