Overview

The break timer is used to control the length of breaks when cueing or teaching.

Configuring The Break Timer

You are able to set up how long a break is by default, whether the timer is started automatically after a delay when a dance finishes, and what alarm sound (or dance music) to play when the timer expires. The alarm’s volume can also be configured to increase over time when the timer expires.

See the Break Timer section of the Settings topic for configuration information.
