Ending a game after a specified number of moves

GameTime™ can end a game after a specified number of moves. After the specified move number the clock will show a forfeit.

1.Slide the PAUSE/PLAY switch to PAUSE.

2.Press the SELECT button until you see the words GAME END in the display.

3.Use the + button to select On or OFF.

4.Press SELECT to set the number of moves.

You see the words COUNTER and GAME END. Use the + or button to set the number of moves when the game should end. Holding the + or buttons down will make the numbers change rapidly. Unless you have set the previous GAME END option On, this option setting will not appear.

5. Press VERIFY or slide the PAUSE/PLAY switch to PLAY.

Important. Make sure to turn off the GAME END feature after playing the game. It can prematurely end other games played under more traditional time controls.

Enabling the Accumulate bonus time feature

The Accumulate option works as an alternative to the Delay option. While the Accumulate option is used, the Delay option will not be available. The Accumulate option must be turned OFF to switch back to using the Delay option.

Turning ACCUM on will enable the FIDE (Federation International des Echecs) bonus ACCUMulate time. When this feature is first turned On the bonus will be set to 30 sec- onds. After every move in Sudden time control, 30 seconds will be added to the play- ers turn that just moved. An “F” will be shown as a reminder the bonus time is in effect.

You may adjust the bonus time to as much as 60 seconds by pressing the SELECT but- ton once more after ACCUM is turned On. The + and - buttons will change the bonus amount.

To set the Accumulate option:

1. Slide the PAUSE/PLAY switch to PAUSE.
