timer and in this manual. Once you have found the

single timing period this will be 0. The next two digits
are the number of moves made for the player on that side
of the timer.
9) To adjust the move number press and hold both the [+]

between the variables and the [+] or [-] to make the

timer.

three seconds to return to play mode and then press the
[>||] button again to start the timer.
Settings Mode
To change the time for any of the 38 pre-programmed
modes first turn on the timer and use the [+] or [-] buttons
to scroll to the timing mode you want and press the [>||]
button to select that timing mode. Once you have
selected the timing mode you want to use press and hold
the [>||] button for three seconds to enter the setting
mode. The first digit on the left side of the timer will be

13
flashing. Use the [+] or [-] buttons to increase or
decrease that value and then press the [>||] button to move
to the next digit. Follow these steps to set the hours,
minutes and seconds on the left side of the timer and then
press the [>||] button to move to the first digit on the right
side of the timer. You will notice that the times set on the
left side of the timer are automatically copied to the right
side. If you are using the same time for both sides of the
timer you can use the [>||] button to quickly move through
the hours, minutes and seconds without making changes.
If the timing mode you started with has delay or bonus
time you will be given the ability to change those values
using the same steps above. Once all the variables have
been changed for the timing mode you selected the timer
will automatically return to play mode. At this point you
will press the [>||] button to start the timing mode.

Bonus versus Delay
Bonus Time: When enabled bonus time will be added to
the timer for each player at the beginning of their turn.
For example, if a player has 0:05:00 on their timer and a
10 second bonus is enabled, at the beginning of their
turn 10 seconds will be added to their game time and the
timer will start to count from 0:05:10.
Delay Time: When enabled a delay will count down for
each player before any game time is used. If the player
makes their turn before the delay time has expired no
game time will be used. Unlike bonus time, no time is
added to the game time with the delay option. The total
amount of game time will never increase with the delay

15
option. When the delay time is enabled and the game is
started the player whose turn it is will see a count down
on their side of the timer. The countdown is their delay
time and once it has expired or they complete their turn
their game time will then display on their side of the
timer.
Both bonus time and delay time can be set to different
values for each player if desired. Bonus time and delay
cannot be set at the same time. If you set a delay time
the bonus time will be disabled for that game and vice
versa.
