16 . Fast setting using Auto repeat
For fast operation , you can hold the
,
or
buttons . After a second
, 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 normally the clock will assume that the same period is active as when time correction 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 .
