Battery Installation
Power ON/OFF
The ProTimer BT operates using a 9 volt battery for
power. It is important to use Alkaline or Lithium
batteries (not carbon) due to the power demand of the
buzzer and display backlighting.
Install the battery in the compartment on the rear of the
unit. Once installed, the ProTimer BT will briefly display
a sign-on message, followed by the home screen.
Note: If at any time you suspect the unit is not
functioning properly, try resetting it (see page # 14).
To turn the unit ON, press the SET DECR/ON button.
After 10 minutes of inactivity, the ProTimer BT will turn
off automatically.
You may also turn it OFF by pressing the MENU
REV/OFF button for approximately 3 seconds.

Basic Operation
If you haven’t done so already, advance through the 14 menu screens and make any
adjustments to the default settings to suit your needs.
• The active settable value will be flashing.
• Some of the screens have more than one settable value, which will require
multiple presses of the menu button to advance.
• When changing a setting with the SET buttons, if you hold the button, it will
advance the digits automatically
• Settings are automatically saved.
Pressing the START button from all screens (except Clear Data) will return to the
home screen and begin a new string.

Headset Jack
A standard 3.5mm stereo headset jack is located on the side of the unit. The Piezo
beeper is disabled when a headset is connected for a private practice session. The
beeper volume control will also change the headset volume level.
Shot Detection
Each time a shot is detected, it will be added to the shot string. The ProTimer BT will
automatically calculate the split time, which is the time between the current shot
and the previous shot. The ProTimer BT can store up to 70 shots per string.
Subsequent shots will be stored by overwriting the previous value of shot number
70. If a shot is detected after 199.9 seconds, the display will “wrap-around” and start
over, so the actual time would be 199.9 + the displayed value.

Moving forward from the home screen, here is the order of menu screens and a brief
description. More detail for each is provided later in this manual.

Individual Menu Screen Detail
Review Shot String
From the home screen, pressing MENU/FWD, SET/INCR, or SET/DECR will advance
to the review screen. Shots will be displayed on the shot review screen in a “one
shot per line” format. Reading from left to right, the shot time appears first,
followed by the shot number, and finally the split time.
When navigating to the review shot screen after the completion of an event, the
first shot will appear on the 3rd line, and the last shot will appear on the 2nd line - if
there are 4 or more shots in the string. This is intended for the user to quickly
locate the first and last shot information without keystrokes.
Use the SET-INCR/DECR buttons to scroll through the shot string to review if there
are more than 4 shots in the list.
