Recalling a Specific String (STR) (Continued…) When the user is reviewing strings it is not necessary to reselect the current string before recording more velocities (firing more shots). When a shot is detected the chronograph will change back to the current string automatically.
Page 11: Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation of the combined shots / velocities in that string. The larger the number of data entries in the string, the more accurate the SD becomes. The CED M2 Chronograph requires a minimum of 5 shots / velocities to be received in order to calculate SD. However, it should be noted that the more data entries used in SD calculations, the more reliable the SD will actually be.
Page 12: High Three Velocity Average (Alt - Av3)
High Three Velocity Average within a String (ALT – AV3) The Alt-AV3 button is used to average the highest 3 velocities (values) in the current shot string or the shot string under review and display the result. Calculator Function (CALC) This function will implement a Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction (MDAS) calcula- tor in the chronograph.
Page 13: Advanced Error Warning Function (Er)
The system gives ample warning to allow sufficient time for the battery to be changed. Additionally, the CED M2 Chronograph has a spare battery compartment to allow the user to store an extra battery on hand. It is located next to the battery compartment and can be accessed by re- moving the panel which separates the two compartments, inserting a spare battery and then replacing the panel.

Shotgun / Bows The CED M2 Chronograph can be used for shotshells. The system measures the velocity of the front pellets in the shot string. A closer screen spacing of the tripod of 3 to 4 ft. from the muzzle of the shotgun should be used.

Page 18: In Case Of Trouble
IN CASE OF TROUBLE Things to check - a. Unplug the "start" & "stop" jacks and plug them in once again, making sure they are completely inserted and tight in their fitting. b. Check the sensor bracket to confirm it is pushed all the way into each sensor. The sensor bracket is designed to fit precisely into the back wall of each sensor cavity.
Page 19: Chronograph Results And Variables
IN CASE OF TROUBLE (Continued…) j. Verify your sensors are mounted so that the front sensor and screen cannot swing upward. The hinged portion of the mounting bracket should be positioned between the tripod head and the furthest sensor. The skyscreen side supports may move due to muzzle blast, but for best results the sensors must not move.

Q & A Sheet for the CED M2 Chronograph Q. I recently used my CED M2 Chronograph for the first time. It would not register any shots I fired with my 30.06 rifle. I set it up according to the book and stood a couple of feet behind it. Nothing happened.
