Record the time-out information charged to each team (who and

when) and notify a team and its coach, through an official, whenever that team is
granted its final allotted charged time-out.
Don't leave any room for doubt. BE aware of things like the arrow, and how many timeouts are remaining, and even if a coach knows how many timeouts he has left, or if you think he knows how many timeouts, still do the job you're instructed to do: inform the coaches when they have zero timeouts remaining. mick posted the text. It says "shall", and not "more of a courtesy".

Having said that, if you fail to use this mechanic, and an excessive timeouts is granted, it is still completed at the cost of a T.
