Saitek Travel Chess manual Introduction, Using Your Chess Computer, Battery Installation

INTRODUCTION

This electronic chessboard is a powerful computer that will play chess at whatever level of complexity you choose! Or, if you prefer, you can play a game with a friend and the computer will act as referee. The large range of 64 playing levels, com- bined with 11 extended Teach Modes, make up a total of 768 combinations—enough to satisfy anyone with an interest in chess, both young and old! The Teach Modes and Openings Coaches are also superb learning features at any level of play, and the various modes of timed competition are well-suited for the intermediate player.

1. USING YOUR CHESS COMPUTER

1. Battery Installation

Your chess computer runs on 2 “AAA” (Type AM4/R03) batteries. For longer battery life, we recommend using fresh alkaline batteries. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the unit, open the cover by pushing the tab, and insert the batteries as shown in Figure 1-1. Then, reinstall the cover and press GO/STOP to turn the computer on. If the computer does not respond, use a paper clip or another sharp object to press into the hole marked ACL in the base of the unit for at least one second. This will reset the computer.

After the batteries are inserted or ACL is pressed, the computer will go through a self-test. Three ‘beeps’ tell you that the test has passed, while a buzz or silence indicates a prob- lem that should be checked with your local distributor.
