     Remark:
-       The timer synchronizes the queue at the entrance and the
-       exit of the context.
+        The timer submits barriers to the queue at the entrance and the
+        exit of the context and uses profiling information from events
+        associated with these submissions to perform the timing. Thus
+        :class:`dpctl.SyclTimer` requires the queue with "enable_profiling"
+        property. In order to be able to collect the profiling information
+        the property `dt` ensures that both submitted barriers complete
+        their execution and thus effectively synchronizing the queue.
