2.3 Initial Settings Overview
The back of the clock features a convenient list of pre-programmed settings, each identified by a number. This allows for quick reference during game setup. The clock will display the current setting number upon power-on.
3. Arahan Operasi
3.1 Selecting a Game Mode
Upon powering on, the clock will display the current game mode number. Use the '+' and '-' buttons (located on the front panel) to cycle through the available pre-programmed settings. Refer to the list on the bottom of the clock for a description of each setting (e.g., Setting 14: One Time Control with Bonus Time per Move).
3.2 Setting Time Controls
Once a setting is selected, press the 'SET' button (typically the middle button on the front panel) to enter time adjustment mode. The display will show the current time for Player 1. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust hours, minutes, and seconds. Press 'SET' again to move to the next time parameter (e.g., minutes, then seconds, then bonus time). After adjusting Player 1's time, the display will switch to Player 2's time, allowing for independent adjustment. This feature is useful for balancing games between players of different skill levels.
3.3 Starting and Pausing the Game
After setting both players' times, press the 'SET' button one last time to confirm and start the game. The clock will begin counting down for the player whose turn it is. To pause the game, simply press the middle button again. Pressing it once more will resume the game.

4. Penyelenggaraan
4.1 Pembersihan
To clean your DGT North American Chess Clock, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the display or casing.
4.2 Penjagaan Bateri
While the clock boasts long battery life, it is recommended to remove the AA batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period (several months or more) to prevent potential leakage and damage. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
5. Penyelesaian masalah
5.1 Paparan Tidak Berfungsi
If the display is blank or unresponsive, first check the batteries. Ensure they are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Try replacing them with new AA batteries. Also, verify that the ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the clock is in the 'ON' position.
5.2 Difficulty Setting Time Options
The timing options can sometimes appear complex. Always refer to the printed settings list on the bottom of the clock for a clear understanding of each numbered mode. When adjusting time, remember to press the 'SET' button to cycle through hours, minutes, seconds, and bonus time for each player. If you encounter persistent issues, a factory reset (if available, consult the full manual or manufacturer's website) might resolve the problem.
5.3 Unresponsive Buttons
Ensure that the buttons are not obstructed by debris. If a button remains unresponsive, try removing and reinserting the batteries to perform a soft reset. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
