To Bear off

the Checkers

The player begins to bear off the checkers from the board when all 15 of his checkers have been moved into his inner home table. In Diagram 2, if a six and a four are rolled, a checker from the four-point is removed. Since there are no checkers on the six-point, a checker on the next highest point, in this case the five-point, is removed.

—Rules of

Backgammon—

Each player moves his checkers

to his own inner home table.

When you have two or more

checkers on a point (a closed point),

your opponent is not permitted to

land on that point.

When you land on a point that is

occupied by one of your opponent's

checkers, that checker is bumped off

the board and is placed on the bar in

the middle.

When you throw doubles, you can

make 4 moves with the same checker

or move any other checkers in any

combination possible.

You may move to any point that

is: 1) clear of any other checkers, 2)

occupied by one or more of your own

checkers or 3) occupied by only one

of your opponent's checkers. Your

opponent's checker is then removed

to the bar.

—Auto Power

Off—

The game turns itself off after sit- ting idle for about four minutes. Press the START key to continue your last game.

—Resetting the

Unit—

If the unit locks up or does not per- form properly, press the RESET key once to restart.

according to the numbers shown on the two dice.

You can move the same checker more than once or any other checkers in any combination possible.

You must move once for the num- ber on one die and again for the num- ber on the other die, not the total of the two dice.

Each player moves his checkers from his opponent's inner home table

When all 15 checkers are in a

player's inner home table, the player

can begin to bear off the checkers

from the board.

—Special Care & Handling—

Avoid rough handling such as bumping or dropping.

Avoid moisture and extreme temperatures. For best results, use between the temperatures of 39ºF and 100ºF (4º C and 38º C).

Clean using only a slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaners with chemical agents.

If no button is pushed for four minutes,

your e-Backgammon will switch off to save your

batteries. Just push the ON button

to continue where you left off.
