INTRODUCTION
The Saitek Competition Pro Game Clock is a multi-function digital game
clock, with seven timer presets (Hour-glass, Blitz, Tournament, Fischer,
Bronstein, Game and User) and one user defined setting. Timer modes
have their own sub-selections with a total of 22 sub-preset timer modes
and up to 3 USER time settings.
The timer mode is selected by pressing and holding PAUSE for 3 seconds,
then pressing the 4-way Control Pad LEFT or RIGHT to select the timer
mode (Hour Glass, Blitz etc). The timer mode sub-category is then
selected by pressing the 4-way Control Pad button UP and DOWN. The
current mode is displayed at the bottom left of the LCD screen.
Information on time modes is shown on the mode chart printed on the
underside of the clock or at the end of this manual.
The Competition Pro Game Clock features two large LCD displays with
wide viewing angle as well as two illuminated time control buttons on top
of the unit, allowing players and audiences to easily see match
information.

FEATURES
Time Control Buttons
The two lever linked Time Control Buttons on the top of the Saitek
Competition Pro Game Clock have 10mm travel and use green colour
banding to visually indicate the player's turn. The Time Control Buttons are
used to start the clock after selecting a preset time setting, or after
modifying the times or number of moves, and from PAUSE mode.
The lever plungers have a positive action so they are either up or down
and each plunger has a red and green LED. Green indicates which
player's clock is active and Red indicates time expired.
LCD Displays
All mode and operation information is displayed in the LCD displays,
including:
•
Timer Mode and sub-selections
•
The number of moves made by the two players (displayed by
pressing MOVES).
•
Time remaining
•
Time expired for each player
•
Battery-low detection. When the battery voltage drops to a low level, a
battery-low symbol on the two LCDs will illuminate to indicate battery-
low detection. This means that the batteries will last for a further 20
hours of operation only and should be replaced as soon as possible.
•
3 user programmable memory settings, for custom timer modes
