2 Pre-set modes

Your Competition Game Clock comes with a number of common game

timer settings already set up for you. Using these modes is really easy.

Hold PAUSE/RESET for 3 seconds until the display shows you the start screen for the mode you are currently in (If sound is on, the clock will beep)

Use the UP/DOWN arrows of the Control Pad to scroll through the settings. The two characters at the bottom left of the display tell you what mode you are in. e.g. 1C is a 15 minute Blitz game (see table below for all the pre-sets).

When you reach the mode you want, simply PRESS one of the TIME CONTROL buttons to start the game.
