PREPARATION
BATTERY:
The CED7000 functions on an internal rechargeable Lithium battery. The normal life cycle is 25 hours
of use or 33 days of stand-by. This estimate is based on 40 activations per hour or 1000 activations per
charge cycle and may vary with difference usage. The life of the battery should provide 500 to 1,000
re-charges. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge
and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventu-
ally wear out. When the usage times are noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to purchase a new
battery.TheCED7000Timerisdesignedtouseaspecicrechargeablebatteryandcharger.ONLY
thespecicbatteryandchargerpackagedwiththeCED7000shouldbeusedwiththetimer.Returnthe
timer to CED or Double-Alpha Academy for a battery replacement. Contact us for prices or visit our
web sites for more details.
To charge the battery, connect the lead from the charger to the DC socket on the bottom of the timer.
Connect the charger to an AC wall socket. If the battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes
before the charging indicator appears on the timer display. While the timer is charging, an escalating
battery symbol will appear on the right side of the LCD display window. Charging time depends on the
formofcharging.Usingthechargerwilltakeaprx.2hours.UsingtheOptionalBatteryPackwilltake
aprx. 2.5 hours if the timer is not used during this process. An optional Auto Charger is available which
plugsintothevehiclecigarettelighterjack.Chargingshouldtakeaprx.2hoursbythismethod.
Unplugthechargerfromtheelectricalplugandthetimerwhennotinuse.Donotleavethetimercon-
nected to the charger. Overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will
lose its charge over time. Temperature extremes can affect the ability of the battery to charge. Leaving
the battery (timer) in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 10 C and 32 C
(50Fand90F).ItisIMPORTANTtonotethattheperformanceofbothbatteryandLCDdisplaywill
be particularly limited in temperatures below freezing.
A“BatteryIndicator”isconstantlydisplayedonthetimer’sLCDscreen.Asthebatterydrainspower,
the symbol will turn from all black to clear displaying the amount of battery life remaining. The battery
symbolhasthreelevelsofindication.Full,half,andempty.Whenthebatteryreachesalowcharge
level,thebatterysymbolwillbeginashingindicatingtimetorechargethebattery.Thisprovidesam-
ple warning to charge the battery in order to prevent timer failure due to loss of battery power.
Ifthebatterydrainstoolow,awarningmessage(LowBatteryshuttingofftimer)willappearonthe
LCD display and within 30 seconds of usage, the timer will shutdown. The retention of stored data in
theCED7000willremainintactaslongasthebatteryhasaminimumof3.6V.

5.
BATTERY: (Continued….)
The timer continues to consume a trickle amount of power, even when turned off in order to keep the
internal clock (date / time) functioning and the memory storage intact. A newly
charged battery will provide over 25 hours of normal use and up to 33 days in stand-by or stored
capacity.
Optional Battery Pack:
AnoptionalBatteryPackisavailablethatwillprovideupto25hoursofextendedusefortheCED7000
Timer.Inadditiontoprovidingpowertothetimer,thebatterypackactuallychargesthetimer’sinter-
nalbatteryatthesametime.WhentheBatteryPackisconnectedtothebaseoftheCED7000Timer,
the battery symbol located on the LCD display will show an escalating signal, which informs the user
thattheinternalbatteryischarging.Whentheinternalbatteryisfullycharged,ORthe“AAA”batter-
iesinsidetheBatteryPackaredepletedoftheircharge,ORtheBatteryPackisdisconnectedfromthe
timer, the battery symbol will stop its escalating motion and display a solid battery level instead. If
theinternalbatteryisnotfullycharged,replacethetwo“AAA”batteriesinsidetheBatteryPackwith
fresh ones and re-connect it to the timer for continued charging use. When connected to the CED7000
Timer,theBatteryPackwillfullydepleteitschargingcapabilitieswithin2hours.Atsuchtime,itis
recommendedtodisconnecttheBatteryPackfromthetimer.NotallAlkalinebatterieshavethesame
output. Therefore, depending on the brand and rating, two “AAA” batteries may provide from 50% to
80%ofacompletechargetothetimer’sinternalbattery.
Example:EnergizerX92batteriesprovide80%charge.
OPERATION
BASIC FUNCTIONS:
TheCED7000canbeturnedonoroffbypressing(andholding)the“CLEAR”fora“onesecond”
duration. It is recommended that the Timer be turned off when not in use to conserve battery power.
TheCED7000isdesignedtoautomaticallyshut-offafterapproximatelyfteenminutesifnoinputis
received. The LCD will blank-out, but no loss of recorded input will occur. The user can re-activate
thetimerbypressing(andholdingforonesecond)the“CLEAR”button.
TheCED7000isautomaticallysetin“Comstock”Mode.TheInternationalIPSCRulebookdescribes
thisas:9.2.2“Comstock”:Unlimitedtimestopsonthelastshot,unlimitednumberofshotstobered,
stipulated number of hits per target to count for score.
TousetheCED7000,simplyturnontheTimerandpressoneofthetwo“START”buttonstoactivate
it.Abeepwillsound,(afterathreesecondxeddelay)whilesimultaneouslystartingtheclock.(note
–wheninuse,NOforwardtimeisshownonthedisplayuntilashotisregistered)
EachshotredwillregisterontheLCDdisplayandcontinuetodosouptoamaximumof999.99
seconds.TherearetwoSTARTbuttonsontheCED7000.Therstoneislocatedonthetopendofthe
timer,whiletheotherispositionedonthefrontcenterconsole.Uponcompletionofshooting,theLCD
displaywillindicatethe(rst)1stshotrecorded,thetotalshotsred/receivedandthecumulativetime
recorded. It will also display the Split time. The display also provides the day, month, year, and time,
unless this function is turned off.

6.
BASIC FUNCTIONS: (Continued….)
Toreviewthetimeeachshotwasred,presseitherthe“REVIEW”buttonlocatedonthetopendofthe
timerortheoneonthefrontcenterconsoleandtheLCDdisplaywillreturntotherstshotandtime
recordedinthecurrentstring.Thisprocedurecanbecontinuedthroughoutallshotsrecorded.TheRE-
VIEWfunctioncanbeviewedinforwardorreverseprogressionbyusingtheUP/DOWNDirectional
keys. The memory stores ten strings with up to 39 shots per string at all times. If a string contains more
than39shots,whenstoredtomemory,thetimerwillretaintherst38shotsandthenthe39thshottime
willbetheactuallastshotredinthestring.(Example–Ifthestringcontains44shotsendingat21.23
seconds,whenthestringisstoredintomemory,shot38willappearasredandshot39willappear
as21.23).BypressingtheLEFT/RIGHTDirectionalkeys(wheninREVIEWfunction),theusercan
move from one string to another. There are always the most recent 10 strings maintained in memory.
In addition to the shot number and cumulative time, the split time (difference) between the most re-
cently recorded shot and the preceding shot time will appear on the LCD display. The CED7000 has
thecapabilitytorecordunlimitedshotsred.Thememorywillretaintherst99timesreceived,and
thenreplacethe99thtimewiththelastshottimereceivedthereafter.Whenthe“REVIEW”buttonis
pressedtherstshot/timewillalwaysappear.Youcanthenreviewthrougheachshotrecordedby
pressingoneoftheREVIEWbuttons.
Bypressingthe“START”buttonagain,thetimerautomaticallystoresinmemorythepreviousdata
received and activates the buzzer/timer accordingly. However, the CED7000 is designed to prevent
accidental loss of results. In order to re-activate the “START” button, the “REVIEW” button
must be pressed at least once. An exception to this rule is when the “Combined Comstock” mode
is in use. Refer to “Combined Comstock” section for further details. The user can also override
this function by selecting the “AUTO START – ON” feature from the Menu options
LCD DISPLAY:
The illuminated display provides review of the most recent cumulative time recorded, split-time, par-
time,rst(1st.)shotreceived,andthetotalnumberofshotsred.Italsoindicateswhichstartdelay
mode the timer is set in, the current function mode (event in use) and has a “battery symbol” indicator
whichasheswhenabatterychargeisrequired.
The display will illuminate whenever input data is received or function buttons are pressed. This is
ideal for “low light” or indoor shooting conditions.

DAY/DATE/TIME SETTING:
SelectfromtheMenu“Time&Date”,pressENTERandthenselectfromthefollowingoptions.“Set
Time”, “Set Date”, or “Display Mode”. Within “Display Mode”, select one of the following time
formats:Date&Time,DateOnly,TimeOnly,orHideAll.If“HideAll”isselected,thedate&time
functions will not be displayed on the timer screen until the user returns to the function and selects one
oftheotheroptions,suchas“Time&Date”.

8.
DAY/DATE/TIME SETTING: (Continued….)
The program allows the user to select time or date only, or to set both which in turn displays each on
a 5 second rotational basis at the bottom of the LCD display window. In setting the time, the user is
given options of either AM / PM and either 12 or 24 hour clock. When setting the date, the month will
appearrst,followedbytheday,andthenyear.Selecting“HideAll”removesbothdate&timefrom
thedisplayscreen,butbothwillremainactivelysetinthetimermemory.ToreturntheTime&Date
to the display, the user must return to the function and selects one of the other options, such as “Time
&Date”.
If the battery charge is depleted, stored data in memory will be lost, and once the timer battery is
charged again, the day, date, time must be reset..
MEMORY STORAGE:
TheCED7000TimerincludesMEMORYSTORAGEthatallowsprevioustimes&splits,numberof
shotsred,andotherdisplayedinformationtoberecalled.Thetimerautomaticallystoreseachsetof
gatheredshots&timesinaSTRINGandsavesit.Example:TheTimerrecords6shotswithacumu-
lativetimeof3.58seconds.WhenthetimerisrestartedbypressingtheSTARTbutton,thedatafrom
thepreviousset(6shotswithtimesandsplits)isautomaticallysavedasSTRING2.EachnewString
isstoredinmemoryuntilitisfull,atwhichpoint,thetimerdropsofftherststringstored,moving
each remaining string in memory up one position and continues to store into memory the latest string
plus the previous nine ones before it. The timer has the capability of storing up to 10 strings in total,
including the current one, with each string containing as many as 39 shots. The memory will store the
rst38shotsreceivedandthentheLASTshotofthestringifcontainingmorethan38shots.There-
fore,ifastringcontains48shots,thememorystorestherst38shotsredandthenthe39thshotwill
be actually the last shot recorded which in this example is #48. Shot 39,, will always be the last shot
received in the string.
Toreview a previousSTRING ofshots recorded,press theREVIEWbutton, andthen presseither
the right or left directional key to select the desired string from memory storage. Once the string is
selected, the user can review shots within the string by pressing the up or down directional key. The
mostrecently(current)recordedstringwillalwaysbeshownasRecord#1.Thepreviousstringswill
thenbestoredasRecord2throughRecord10.String10wouldthenbetheoldeststringmaintainedin
memory and the next string to be dropped from memory.
Toremove(erase)thestringsfromthetimermemory,selectMEMORYSTORAGEfromtheMenuand
highlightERASEandpresstheENTERbutton.ThetimerwillthenaskyoutoconrmYESorNO.To
eraseALLofthestringsinmemory,highlightYESandpressENTERagain.Thisprocesswillerase
all memory stored in the timer. This feature is ideal when sharing the timer with someone else during
practice as it allows each user to record into memory only their own shooting results.
