at any time, press PAUSE. Press either of the Time Control Buttons to
restart the clocks from Pause without adding free time or extra time (for
the next stage).
As soon as one side runs out of time, 00.00 flashes on the corresponding
LCD, along with the relevant LED on that side's Time Control Button. If the
sound is on, you will also hear a sequence of beeps to remind you that the
time is up. The winner is the player who still has time on the clock.
To play again, press and hold PAUSE for 3 seconds or more. You can then
choose whether to play a game with the same timing option or choose
another timing option. To select another timing option, use the Timing
Option Keys. Whoever plays first simply presses the opponent's Time
Control Button to start the clock. If the Low Battery Symbol appears at any
time, we recommend that you replace the batteries (see the Powering Up
Section).
TIMING MODES
HOURGLASS
In a game using the hourglass timing method, your opponent's thinking
time increases as your own thinking time is being used up. This makes for
a doubly exciting game where you have to make your best moves in the
quickest times possible to avoid giving more time to your opponent. If your
count goes down to zero, you have lost the game.
BLITZ
If you are happy to play a game using the Blitz timing method, simply
press the opponent's Time Control Button to start the clock. In a game of
Blitz, each player has a certain number of minutes to complete all his/her
moves. Under Blitz you have a choice of 5 preset timer modes with
varying time to complete moves. The preset modes are listed below:
The first display you see shows 5 minutes on each clock. To choose
another of the preset timer options, press DOWN on the 4-way Control
Pad to scroll through the timing modes. The amount of time you have on
the clock for each timing option will appear on the LCDs. As soon as you
have decided which option to choose, press the appropriate Time Control
Button to start either your own or your opponent's clock, depending on
who is playing first.
