Operation of the MEREX 600

1.

Batteries

The MEREX 600 requires 2 AA (penlight) batteries. We recommend low self-
discharging alkaline batteries which may last many years of normal use. If you do not
plan to use your timer for a long period, we recommend that you remove the batteries to
avoid damage caused by possible leaking of the batteries. If the Low Battery symbol
appears on the timer display, the batteries need replacement. When this message
first appears, the batteries still contain enough energy to allow the current game to be
completed. In case of a malfunction, first remove, then reinsert the batteries, this will
reset the timer.
Replacing the batteries:
Remove the battery cover and the old batteries
Insert the new batteries with the "+" side pointing as in the drawing
Place back the battery cover
Dispose of the old battery as prescribed in your country or region.
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged; rechargeable batteries
are to be removed from the product before being charged; rechargeable
batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision; different types of
batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed; batteries are to be
inserted with the correct polarity; exhausted batteries are to be removed from
the product. the supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

Starting a Game

When you have selected an option with a pre-programmed setting, make sure that the
lever is up for the player who will be white (or the side that is to begin the game). The
player color is indicated with the symbol on the display. Now start the game, and
the timer, by pressing the button in the middle. Starting the MEREX 600 at the
beginning of the game with the proper player designated as white will keep an accurate
