a rubberized keypad, while the back is constructed of
plastic to allow the RF chip to transmit (when included).
The Start and Review buttons are located at the top of
the timer for ease of access while holding in the hand.
Another review button is placed in the front.

Auxiliary jacks
The CED7000PRO has three jacks/sockets, all positioned
at the bottom of the timer. The mini USB plug is used
for both charging and data transfer to and from the
timer. It also allows for updating the timer’s operating
software.
• Check www.ced7000pro.com to ensure your timer is
running the latest software version.
The left Auxiliary port is used for an external micro-
phone or an external activation button. The right Auxil-
iary port is used for the CED External Horn.
Battery and charging
About the Battery
Please follow these guidelines:
• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or
in a high-temperature location, such as in direct sun
-light in an unattended vehicle.
• Do not puncture or incinerate the device or battery.
• When storing the device for an extended time, store
within the following temperature range: from 32 to 77F
(from 0 to 25C).
• Contact your local waste disposal department to dis-
pose of the device/battery in accordance with appli-
cable local laws and regulations.
The CED7000PRO utilizes a lithium-ion rechargeable
battery which is located inside the unit. The battery can
be charged by plugging in the supplied charger or by
connecting it to a PC via the USB cable.
First time charge
Please charge your new timer for at least 12 hours
before using it the rst time. This is important to the
longevity of your battery.
3

On-going charges
The timer typically charges from empty to full within
5.5 hours or less. Note - the timer will turn off automat-
ically when fully charged, and the display will turn off.
PC charging
Make sure the unit is off before plugging it in to the PC
USB port. If the timer is plugged in to the PC when it
is on, it will switch to USB mode (see Export/Import
section of the manual). Note - The timer will turn off
automatically when fully charged.
Battery replacement
Typically, the lithium-ion rechargeable battery will of-
fer 2 or more years of reliable service before needing
replacement. Replacement batteries are available at
your CED distributors, and should be replaced only by
an authorized dealer.
Turning on the “Auto Shut Off” feature
The Auto Shut off, when set to 10min, will turn the
timer off if no shot or button press is recorded for 10
minutes. When the Auto Shut off is set to “off” the
timer will never shut itself off. This can lead to drain-
ing the power if the timer is accidentally left on in your
range bag.
Factory default is set to “10min”
To set this feature:
1. Select Menu -> Settings -> Auto Shut Off.
2. Select 10min (or off).
3. Press “E”.
Battery indicator
The battery indicator consists of 7 levels, from empty
to full. Make sure you charge your CED7000PRO Timer
when the battery indicator shows red.

Caring for your device
• To prevent corrosion, thoroughly dry and clean the
mini-USB port and the surrounding area before charg
ing or connecting to a computer
• Do not store the device where prolonged exposure to
extreme temperatures can occur
• Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can cause
damage
• Do not press down hard on the LCD display with your
nger as the screen may be dislodged
• Do not apply excessive force when working the con-
trols of the timer. Beneath the buttons are small micro
switches not design to be handled roughly
• To maximize battery life over time, ensure that the
battery is fully discharged once every 3 months. To do
so, simply turn the Auto Shut Off feature off and let
the battery drain. Remember to switch on Auto Shut
Off immediately thereafter to save battery life when
the timer is in use
On/Off
To switch On the timer, press the back/power button. To
shut Off, press and hold the back/power button for 1.5
seconds.
Menu navigation
Every effort was made to ensure navigation is as simple

you nd a title bar that shows which menu item you are
currently in. This helps you navigate the levels of the
menu.
Menu button

Run Timer, Match or Steel-Challenge modes, depending
which one was used last.
Arrow buttons

websites which support the use of the CED7000PRO.
See Export/Import chapter for more information.
Menu -> Mode -> Stopwatch
A Stopwatch is a handy tool to have available on the
range, to time sequences and motion of targets, props,
positions, as well as the distances between various
points of reference. Sometimes, it is simply used for
recording the times of other shooters being watched.
The CED7000PRO provides this function with its built-in
Stopwatch mode.
When selected, the CED7000PRO timer acts as a Stop-
watch. When in this mode, both the microphone and
buzzer on the timer are disconnected and will not func-
tion.
1. Select Menu -> Mode -> Stopwatch.
2. To activate press the Start button.
3. To record splits, press the Start button as many
times as needed.
4. Press Review to stop and review the splits.
5. Press the Back or the Start button to go back to
point #2.
12

The review screen displays the overall time as well as
any splits recorded. Use the up and down arrow buttons
to browse through the splits.
Each activation of the Stopwatch is recorded as a string
(string 1, string 2 etc) and can be viewed later by
pressing the right and left arrow buttons on the review
screen.
Menu -> Mode -> Repetitive
This feature of the CED7000PRO is ideal for PPC, UIT,
Police, & Military qualication type courses where a
series of simulated “exposures” at xed intervals are
required. This function simulates the effect of a turning
target system where the “Face” and “Edge” times are
selected by the user, as well as the desired number of
times it is to be repeated.
1. Select Menu -> Mode -> Repetitive.
2. Press the “E” button to set the Face time.
3. Use the left and right arrow buttons to move between
seconds and fractions of seconds.
4. Press the up and down arrow buttons to set the Face
time required.
5. Press “E” to conrm.
6. Set the Edge time by following steps 3-5.
7. Set Repetitions by pressing the up and down arrow
buttons.
8. Press “E” to go to the Timer Repetitive Mode.
9. Press Start to activate the timer.
The start of the selected “Face” period is indicated by
the pressing of the “Start” button and the sounding of
the buzzer. If the Auxiliary jack is in use, a 5 volt D.C.
impulse will be emitted in direct conjunction with the
buzzer, which allows the user to activate a real turning
target relay if so desired. At the end of the set Par time,
13

the buzzer (and 5 volt impulse if in use) will beep for
0.3 seconds indicating the end of the “Face” period, and
the beginning of the “Edge” period. After the selected
EDGE time expires, the sequence will start again, and
continue doing so until it has completed the full amount
of repeats that have been pre-set into the timer.
Menu -> Mode -> Spy
Designed to allow the user to SPY on and to learn from
other shooters. When the “Spy Mode” is selected, the
timer will switch automatically to “Instant” Start Delay
activation, and will turn up the sensitivity to level 8.
Additionally, the buzzer will not sound when the timer
is activated. Pressing the START button will silently and
instantly activate the timer, allowing the recording of
shots red in local proximity to the timer. The higher
sensitivity level setting will enable the timer to pick up
shots from a greater distance enabling the user to re-
cord (monitor) another shooters’ performance.
1. Select Menu -> Mode -> Spy
2. Press the Start button to activate.
3. Follow the Run Timer section for more information.
Note
1. To switch back to normal mode, go to Menu -> Mode
-> Run Timer.
2. In Spy mode, the timer may also pick up other
interferences as well due to the heightened sensitiv-
ity setting level. In some cases, where a stage of re
may involve long distances, the timer may fail to
register all shots due to the distance and sensitivity
limitations.
14

Menu -> Mode -> Rate Of Fire
The Rate Of Fire (ROF) mode calculates and displays the
rate of re of your rearm. As soon as the beep goes off,
the timer will pick up shots until it records a 2 second
pause in re. Then, it displays the following information:
- Overall time
- First shot
- String #
- Total shots
- # of rounds per minute
- # of rounds per second
- Fastest split
- Last 4 shots with their time and splits
1. Select Menu -> Mode -> Rate of Fire
2. Press “E” to acknowledge you read the popup.
3. Press Start to begin recoding your ROF.
Menu -> Mode -> Simple Mode
The advanced features of the CED7000PRO Timer can be
turned off by choosing “Simple Mode”. In this mode, the
timer will only run as a simple shot timer with the option
to change Delay, Par and the microphone’s sensitivity.
This mode is designed for users who do not want the
advanced functions but only a simple shot timer.
1. Select Menu -> Mode - Simple Mode
2. Change to “On” and press “E”
3. The following limited options will appear
a. Delay
b. Par
c. Sensitivity
d. Run Timer
e. Simple Mode
4. To revert back to Normal Mode select Menu -> Simple
Mode and change to “Off”
