Hello,
I just bought a pill timer at a local Radio Shack.
It has two timers plus a clock. You can have the two
independent timers going at the same time.
Each timer can be either a count down timer with audible
beep for a minute and then it becomes a count up timer,
with a max time of 100 hours.
The way that I use it: I take my dose of meds and set
timer1 to 2Hr 15Min 0Sec then I start timer1 counting
down. After timer1 has exhausted its time, the audible
beep sounds for at most 1Min.

I press any button to stop a timer that is sounding
an alarm. The timer remembers the last time interval
so just press the multi-purpose memory button and the
timer resets to 2Hr 15Min 0Sec
I press the multi-purpose start button to begin another
count down.
It works for me... Good Luck
