Setup Menu
To enter the setup menu, hold down the footswitch while the power is o and apply power to the pedal. The
display should show “StuP” instead of the usual scrolling message. Release the footswitch aer “StuP” appears.
The rst setup opon that appears is the Blink Warning Time for the Countdown Timer Mode. The display
should read “bL:xx”, where “xx” is the warning me in minutes. The display will begin to connuously blink
when the countdown mer is running and the remaining me passes this value. Tap the footswitch to increment
the warning me. The warning me will roll over to zero aer you pass 10 minutes. Hold the footswitch to
accept.
The next menu item is the Clock Hour Format parameter. The display should read “hr:12” or “hr:24” at this
point. Simply tap the footswitch to toggle between 12-hour clock format and 24-hour format. Hold the
footswitch to accept your changes.
The nal menu item is the Clock Adjustment. Tapping the footswitch will increment the hour. Hold the
footswitch to accept the hour value. Repeat the process for adjusng the minutes. Aer accepng the minutes
the rst menu item will reload. Simply unplug the power and reapply it to boot back into normal mode. The
pedal will always boot in normal mode unless you hold the footswitch during power up.
Note: You must accept both the hour and minutes values to update the clock, even if you only change the hour.
Replacing the Baery
The Chronograph draws an extremely low amount of current from the baery when it’s not powered externally.
Of course it will have to be replaced occasionally, but we expect each baery to last up to 10 years. The baery
part number is CR2032, which is a relavely common 3V coin cell type. You only need two tools to replace the
baery: a small Philips head screwdriver and a wrench.
The rst step is to remove the back cover of the pedal. The footswitch will have to be temporarily removed to
give the baery enough room to slide out. Use your wrench to carefully remove the nut from the footswitch on
the outside of the enclosure. You should now be able to easily pull the footswitch out of the back side. Take
cauon not to put too much force on the wires that connect the footswitch to the circuit board. Doing so could
damage the solder joints and cause your pedal to malfuncon.
Finally, carefully remove the baery by sliding it out towards the space where the footswitch was. Make sure the
posive side of your new baery is facing up. Repeat each process in reverse to reassemble your pedal. Follow
the instrucons under “Setup Menu” to set the clock and your user sengs. Now you’re good to go for several
more years to come!
