and the countdown display returns when you release the key.

MODIFY/LOCK
This switch is located on the base of the clock. To adjust the remaining time or
number of moves during a game, make sure that the switch is set to “Modify”
(see ADJUST and SET in point 4 of this section). You cannot change them
when it is switched to “Lock”.

press a paper clip or another sharp object into the ACL opening for at least 2
seconds. This clears the memory and resets the clock to the “Blitz” default
setting.

Located on the bottom of the unit. Slide to “Sound Off” to play without sound
effects. Slide to “Stop” to switch off. Your remaining time and number of moves

back to “Go” and pressing the appropriate Timing Activator button.
