1 1 1 BEEP 1 LED If BEEP is on the clock will beep each time a
black play switch is pressed. This option
should be turned off when playing in small
tournament rooms, since other players might
find the beeps distracting . During informal blitz
play, however, this option should be on so a
player does not have to look at his clock to be
sure he has pressed it.
If LED is on the LEOs will show who is on
move when the clock is running. Turning th is
option off increases battery life by 50%.

HALT AT END If this option is on, both clocks will stop if one
clock goes over the time limit. Therefore it is
not possible for both sides to overstep the time
limit, and it will be clear which side ran out first
and , l ost on time . This option is usually illegal
in chess tournaments, where the winning l
player must claim a win on time without being
prompted (and if he doesn't notice that he has
won it is possible for his time to run out also),
but it is usually legal in go tournaments .

3 BYO BEEPS The mode has byo-yomi with the option of byo­
yomi beeps . If this option is selected, the clock
I
will beep at each second, from one to nine ' ,
seconds, just before the end of a byo-yomi
period. The initial setting is three byo-yomi
beeps. That is, the clock will beep at three,
two, and one seconds before the end of a byo­
yomi period .
o
DBL BEEPS The byo-yomi beeps above may be double or
single depending on this option. Since double
beeps usually seem louder than single beeps,
select this ?ption for a louder sound.

your settings and options to one of the 12 user

NOT LOST if the batteries run down or are
removed . They remain unchanged until the
