1 Setting Up
1.1 Batteries
Insert the batteries into the compartment on the underside.
Make sure they are the right way round (“+” matching with
“+”). The computer should respond with a sound signal. The
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) should show the starting position
for a game of Ch
ess, with the word English, “blinking”, in the
bottom line.
If this display fails to appear, insert a thin object (e.g.
paper clip) into the RESET hole on the underside of the
computer, and press with it.
1.2 Choice of Language
If you want the computer to give its messages in English, simply press the ENTER button. To select a different
language, keep pressing
↑
or
↓
until the desired option appears, then press ENTER. Depending on the
model, the following languages may be offered: English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch (NL).
You may now start a game of Chess, with the computer playing at 10 seconds per move
–
see Section
Number 5.2.2 etc. For other possibilities, go to Section Number
3 (“The Main Menu”).
1.3 SWITCHING OFF/ON
To switch on when not replacing the batteries, press the ON/OFF button.
In general the computer will switch off automatically if left idle for 8½ minutes. When “off”, it still retains the
current game in its memory, and you can resume play later.

In most situations if you press the HELP button, a “scrolling” message explains what you can do next. To
break off the message, press ESC.
