INTRODUCTION

The Saitek Competition Game Clock is a multi-function digital game clock, with three different game/mode types (Blitz, Tournament, and Game) and "Coach's Favorite" - a user defined setting.

With a total of 10 preset and one user's time settings, the Saitek Competition Game Clock is ideal for timing chess, draughts, Scrabble, or other board games.

Information on timer modes is shown on the mode chart printed on the underside of the clock and explained later in this guide.

POWERING UP

Remove the battery cover on the underside of the Game Clock and insert two C size batteries in the direction shown in the compartment. Replace the battery cover.

OFF / GO / SOUND OFF / LIGHT OFF SOUND OFF

When in the OFF position, all memory contents are preserved (including current game).

Switching to GO again will wake up the unit and return it to its previous state.

Switching to SOUND OFF mode will switch off the buzzer. Otherwise the clock operates normally.

Sliding the switch to LIGHT OFF SOUND OFF position turns the LED indicators OFF. The sound is also OFF in this position.

(When ACL is pressed or when batteries are removed for longer than 5 seconds, the previous memory will be cleared, including the user defined setting. If you press ACL or install new batteries the initial clock setting will default to Blitz Mode 1A).

FEATURES AND CONTROLS OF YOUR CLOCK

1 Time Control Buttons

The two lever Time Control Buttons on the top of the Saitek Competition

Game Clock use colour banding to indicate the player's turn. The Time Control Buttons are used to start the clock after selecting a preset time setting, or after modifying the times or number of moves, and from PAUSE mode.

The lever plungers have a positive action so they are either up or down and each plunger has a green and red LED. Green indicates which player's clock is active and Red indicates when time has expired.

2 LCD Displays

The Competition Game Clock features two large LCD displays with wide

viewing angle as well as two illuminated time control buttons on top of the

unit, allowing players and audiences to easily see match information. All mode and operation information is shown in the LCD displays,

including:

•Game Type and specific Timer Mode

•Time remaining

•Time expired for each player

•The number of moves made by the two players (displayed by pressing MOVES).

•Battery-low warning. When the battery voltage drops to a low level, a battery-low symbol on the two LCDs will illuminate to indicate battery- low detection. This means that the batteries will last for a further 20 hours of operation only and should be replaced as soon as possible.
