GENERAL HINTS
Your NOVAG OPAL II can be your tutor if you are a beginner or your challenging
chess partner if you are already a chess player. In case you are a beginner, we
recommend you familiarize yourself with the rules of chess first. Relevant literature
is available in bookstores.
Before you start to play with your NOVAG OPAL II read first the GENERAL
HINTS. The instructions are laid out in such a way that each section is self
contained, so you do not have to read everything at once.
BATTERIES:
The NOVAG OPAL II runs on 4 x 1.5V UM4-type (or "AAA" size) alkaline
batteries (not included). Open the battery door at the bottom of the unit and insert
the batteries as indicated by the +/- signs. A set of new alkaline batteries runs
approx. 100 hours. Notice that weak batteries make the performance of the
computer unreliable.
ADAPTOR:
The adaptor is not included with your set, but is available separately from your
dealer. Before using the Novag adaptor (Art.No.8210), check that the voltage of
your electric mains is within the range specified on the adaptor label.
Note: Make sure you first connect the adaptor with the computer before you plug it
into the mains. The adaptor jack is at the back panel of the computer. You
may only use the adaptor which has been specially developed for this
computer.
MEMORY:
The NOVAG OPAL II has a long term memory and will retain the last board
position. However, make sure that there are batteries in the NOVAG OPAL II or an
adaptor is connected otherwise you will lose the memory contents.
Note: If you are using the SET UP or VERIFY mode the computer will save the
current mode when you switch the computer off before you exit these modes.
When you switch on the computer again the SET UP LED or the VERIFY
LED will be still on. To continue the game or start a new game press the GO
key first to exit these modes.
The indicator lights will be referred to as LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in the
following instructions.
