5. Full setup and clock modes

In sections 3 and 4 of this manual a short explanation is given of how to quickly set up the clock.

In this chapter we will go over the functions and modes of the clock in more detail.

Selection mode

When you turn on the clock it starts in "Selection mode". In this mode you can navigate

through all options using the plus and minus buttons. For each possible option the display will

show the starting time, the total number of periods, the default freeze, sound or forced move

counter settings. And the two bars indicating which side is white.

If freeze is activated, the clock will not be able to count down on either side if one side has

reached 0:00. Freeze is on by default for all Bonus and Delay options but can be turned off.

In this mode you can switch the lever freely, but not change any other settings.

Pressing the left arrow button will show the settings details. More information on setting the

chess clock is given under the heading "Setting details" of this section.

When you have found the timing option you wish to use, press the play/pause or right arrow

button to select it.

Wait for start

After selecting an option, the clock enters "Wait for start" mode. This is the "Pause" before the

start of a match. Now some final adjustments can still be made:

1. The position of the lever can still be changed to indicate the correct starting side/ white side.

2. The freeze function can be turned on or off by holding the right arrow button.

3. The sound function can be turned on or off by holding the minus button.

4. The "Forced move counter" can be turned on or off by holding the left arrow button.

If you want to check if the chosen time control/ option is correct, you can also press the left

arrow to show the setting details.

When all settings are correct, press the play/pause button to start the clock.

Time running mode

When the clock has been started, it will start counting down on the side where the lever is up.

When a player has finished their turn, they must push the lever down. When this happens, the

other side has the lever up and their clock starts counting down. This will continue until either

side has reached zero.

When the clock is running, pressing buttons has no effect except when the plus button is

pressed and the move counter screen is shown. This can be done with or without "Forced move

counter" active.

When the time is running the option and period numbers will be hidden. If the sound, freeze

and/or "Forced move counter" are activated, the corresponding symbol will remain visible.

Show move counter

During certain modes the move counter can be shown using the plus button. When holding

the plus button, the screen will show a "W" and "B" to indicate the "White" and "Black" side. The

digits next to the "W" and "B" show the number of times the lever has been switched. Which,

when the clock has been properly used, should correspond to the number of moves completed

on the board.

Pause

You can pause and start the clock by pressing the play/pause button. This will pause the

countdown for both sides, the play/pause symbol will be shown, and the option number and

period number will be visible. During pause you can turn the settings for freeze, sound and

"Forced move counter" on or off. But you may not change the lever position. If the lever position

is changed during pause, it must be returned to it's original position from before the clock was

paused. Otherwise, the clock will go in to "Arbiter mode" as a safety precaution.

Flag-fall

A Flag-fall occurs if a player has used all their available time. To indicate the Flag-fall, two

blinking bars are shown above the numbers 0:00. If the clock is used with the freeze function

not active, the other side is still able count down if the lever is up on that side. If freeze is active,

the time cannot count down for either side after 0:00 is reached. Even if the lever position is

switched.

Note that the flag bars are also shown when a period transition occurs. At that moment the flag

bars are displayed (not blinking) for 5 minutes.

Setting details

It is possible to check the current settings of the clock during "Option select, Wait for start and

Pause". By pressing the left arrow button, the clock will first show the time control category. For

example, "Fischer" for Fischer bonus time controls. By pressing the right arrow, you can go to

the next screen and view the starting time of the first period. When you press the right arrow

again you can see the bonus time for the first period. This action can be repeated until you have

seen the starting time and increment for each period.

Return to the previous clock mode by pressing the left button again, pressing the play/pause

button or by pressing the right button until all information screens have passed.

5. Manual settings

For each of the timing methods a separate manual setting is available on the clock. In the

manual setting you can set a custom time per period. Option specific time settings such as

bonus, delay or Byo-Yomi periods can also be customized.

When you enter the manual setting for the first time, you will see a display as shown above. The

number in the corner of the display indicates that you are editing the starting time for the first

period.

The bars are blinking above and below the digit that is currently selected. By using the plus and

minus buttons you can edit the digit value. Pressing the arrow buttons will move you to the

next or previous digit. Changes made to the left side of the clock are automatically applied to

the right side. If you wish to make an asymmetric setting, first edit the left side. Then change

the time on the right side. At the last digit of the screen, pressing the right arrow button will

move you to the next screen.

After setting the starting time for the first period, the second screen depends on the chosen

manual setting type. In the picture above the second screen for the "Fischer bonus" manual

setting is shown. Editing the values is done in the same manner as in the previous screen.

After setting the bonus, delay, or other option specific setting, you will enter the moves screen.

In this screen the number of moves per period can be set. If you do not wish to use the "Forced

move counter" you can leave the number on zero. If set to a specific number, the clock will

transition to the next period after the set number of moves is completed.

Note that the bonus or delay must be set for each period. If you wish to use a bonus starting

from move 1, the bonus must be set for period 1 and again for any periods that may follow.

If you wish to use a bonus only during a specific period, then you must set the bonus only in

that specific period.

To set the bonus from a certain number of moves, the forced move counter must be used. For

example, if you want to set a 30 second bonus starting from move 61. Then set the move count

to 60 in the period before the period that has bonus time. Note that if you have more than two

periods, a move count must be set for all preceding periods.

During the manual setting, you can quickly accept all settings by pressing the play/pause

button. This will skip any further screens and corresponding period settings.
