16. Fast setting using Auto repeat
For fast operation, you can hold the
,
or
buttons. After a se-
cond, they will repeat.
17. Display contrast adjustment
If necessary, the contrast of the display can be adjusted in 16 steps. The
clock must be in pause mode (showing > ||). Now press and hold the
button. The option number will be shown. Keep the
button pressed,
and press the button repeatedly to darken the display or press the button
repeatedly to make the display lighter. Release the
button when done.
The contrast setting is kept until the batteries are removed.
18. Detailing on time corrections
If you make a time correction during an option with more time periods nor-
mally the clock will assume that the same period is active as when time cor-
rection started. So when, for example, during option 9, in period 2 (Bonus),
the time is corrected to 1 hour the bonus method will stay active.
Option 16: Bonus tournament, however, offers the possibility to allot a
number of moves for each period. If the move numbers for each period are
programmed to a non-zero number then, during time correction, the move
number can be changed and the correct period calculated from that.
19. Detailing on manual setting
Parameters are kept in every manual set option until you change them or
the batteries are removed. If after a manual set option, the game is ended
and the same manual set option is selected again, the parameters from the
previous setting are conserved. See section 10 for a quick way to start the
new game. If in a multiple period setting, a period is programmed with zero
period time, this period and the following periods are skipped during the
game. When a period is programmed with a zero value of the main thinking
time no further parameters can be set for this and the following periods.
The manual set option 16: Bonus tournament is the most advanced option.
Notice that when the move number for a period is programmed zero the
period will end when a player runs through zero time. When for a period
zero moves are programmed the eventual trailing periods will be set to zero
moves automatically. These trailing period move numbers cannot be set to
non-zero value.
20. Care and cleaning
Your DGT NA is a durable, well-made product. If you treat it with reasonable
care it should give you years of trouble-free performance. To clean the clock
use only a slightly-moistened soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
