arrow (%) on the left-hand

Ready? Let's try a 5-minute
Blitz game where you move
first! To start timing, press
your opponent's Timing
Activator Button. Your clock
will start counting down, and
your LED will light. Try to
make the best move in the
least amount of time!
6
As soon as you've completed
your move, press your own
Timing Activator Button! Your
clock will stop, and your
opponent's clock will now
start counting down.
7
Both players continue to
make moves, one by one—
with each of you pressing
your Timing Activator Button
after every move. If the time
runs out for one side and this
display appears, that player
has lost the game!
To pause at any time, press PAUSE. To resume, press one of the
Timing Activator Buttons. To reset for another 5-minute Blitz game,
press and hold PAUSE for at least 3 seconds. To select a different
Timing Mode and find out about all your other choices, go on to
explore the rest of the manual!
