want to reset the clock after a game you will have to switch off the clock first using the
ON/OFF switch.
3. Choosing an option number
When you switch on the timer, the display shows the option number that was last
selected. Press the
(+1) or
(–1) buttons in order to change the number on the
timer’s display (Fig. 1).
4. Activating an option number
When the selected option number appears in the display, press
(OK) to activate this
number. The starting time will now appear in the display. To check the option number
during a game, see paragraph 9.
For details on manual settings (option 00), see the Manual Settings section.
5. Buzzer
The DGT XL has an automatic sound signal, which indicates that a player approaches and
exceeds the time limit. Switch the buzzer on or off by pressing and holding the sound
button
firmly for three seconds. The symbol
in the display (Fig. 2 E) shows the
sound signal is switched on.
6. Starting a game
After activating the option number, press the Run/Pause button
to start the timer.
Ensure the lever is in the correct position before the game begins. This is especially
important when playing ‘Fischer’ or ‘Bronstein’, as the clock will ‘know’ who is to play
white and who is to play black by recognizing the initial position of the lever. The display
will show which side has started the game playing white.
7. Color indication
Central in the display of the DGT XL the icons
and
indicate which player is playing
which color (Fig. 2 F). To set this default, ensure the lever is in the correct position
before starting the timer. White is always the side where the lever is lifted at the start of
a game. The automatic move counter will respond to this position.
When playing ‘Fischer’ in multiple periods where transitions to the next period are
dependent on a predetermined number of moves, it is extremely important to set the
correct color indication, as otherwise the automatic adding of extra time per move will
fail during transitions.
8. Temporarily stopping the timer
During the course of a game, you can temporarily stop the timer by pressing the
Run/Pause
button.
Restart the timer by pressing the Run/Pause
button
again.
If the lever position is changed on a stopped clock, the time correction
procedure is started, to check or change the main times, move numbers or
period numbers.
