Setting up your LEAP PQ9907S digital chess clock is straightforward. Here's how to manage the time controls:
-
Positive Timing:
- Power on the clock by inserting a battery and switching the "ON/OFF" button to "ON".
- The display will show "0:00 00". This indicates positive timing mode.
- Use the rocker switch to designate which side starts first (the top side on the display corresponds to the first player).
- Press the "" button briefly to start the clock.
-
Countdown Timing - Same Time for Both Players:
- While in positive timing mode, press and hold the " < + > " button for approximately 2 seconds to enter the countdown setting mode.
- The hour digit on the left side of the display will begin flashing. This indicates the time setting can be changed.
- Press " < + > " or " < - > " to increase or decrease the time in increments of one until you reach your desired time for the first player.
- Briefly press "" to move to the minutes, then seconds settings. Adjust these as needed using " < + > " and " < - > ".
- When you advance to the right side settings, the time from the left side will automatically be copied. This is ideal if both players have the same time.
- After setting the time for the right side, you can configure the increment (bonus time) and delay settings. Note that you can only use one of these features during a game; if you set a bonus time, the delay will be set to zero, and vice-versa.
- Press and hold "" for 2 seconds to exit the setting mode.
- Start the clock.
-
Countdown Timing - Different Times for Each Player:
- Follow the instructions in step 2 to enter the countdown setting mode.
- Adjust the time on the right side of the display to set a different time for the second player.
- Set the bonus and delay settings as required.
- Start the clock.
