Hourglass (Options 31 and 32)

A player's thinking time is gradually reduced whilst at the same time that of
his opponent is increased. This way of playing is an exciting alternative to
the traditional "quickie". The clock stops when a player reaches zero, thus
losing the game.

10. Gong (Options 33 and 34)

Before the introduction of clocks with double timers, tournaments were
often controlled with a gong. The gong was used to mark a fi xed time for
each move. Option 33 provides a fi xed time of ten seconds alternately for
fi rst the left-hand player followed by the same amount of time for the right-
hand player, and so on.

Operation

1. Batteries
The DGT 2010 requires 2 AA (penlight) batteries. We recommend low self-
discharge alkaline batteries, on which it will run for 10 years, theoretically. 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 leaking. If the Low Battery
symbol *** appears on the timer display, the batteries need replacement.
When this message fi rst appears, the batteries still contain enough energy
to allow the current game to be completed. In case of a malfunction, fi rst
remove then reinsert the batteries.

Switching the timer on

Switch the timer on and off with the On/Off button on the bottom of the
timer. The on/off button is placed on the bottom to avoid unintended re-
seeting of the clock.
3. Choosing an option number
When you switch on the timer, the display shows the option number that
was last selected. Press the
ons. After number 34, the display returns to 01. To fi nd the option you wish,
see the list of option numbers on the bottom of the timer (For example,
option 02 corresponds to Time Rapid: 25 minutes).
4. Activating the option number
When the option number you want appears on the display, activate it by
pressing the OK button. The display then shows the default starting time
for that option. You can now begin your game. If you selected a manual set
option, refer to Section 9, Manual settings.
5. Starting a game
When you have selected an option with preprogrammed setting, check
that the lever is upward for the white player. The player color is indicated
with the KING symbol. Now start the timer by pressing the Start/Stop but-
ton. The correct setting of player color is important to keep good record of
the move number, especially for the Bonus Tournament options
