move faster than the time allowed for each move. You can decide
how much extra time will be added to your overall time for the
whole game by programming Game Clock before you start the
game. The time is then either added “before” or “after” (see below
for explanation).

To play a game using the Bonus Timer method, press BONUS
TIMER. A triangle pointing to BONUS TIMER appears on the LCD
to show that you have selected this option. By pressing BONUS
TIMER you have automatically selected the first preset timer option.
The amount of time you have on the clock appears on the left hand
LCD (in this case, 3 minutes for the whole game plus 2 seconds
free time per move).
ADD BEFORE appears on the LCDs. This means that the free
time for each individual move (x) will be added to your opponent’s
clock as soon as you have made your move and pressed your
Timing Activator button i.e. before your opponent makes a move. If
your opponent then makes a move in less than the allocated free
time per move, he or she will make a net gain in time on the clock.
In preset timer option d), ADD AFTER appears on the right hand
LCD. This means that the time available for each individual move
(x) will be added to your clock as soon as you have made your
move and pressed your Timing Activator button i.e. after you have
made a move. If you make a move in less than the allocated free
time per move (x), you will make a net gain in time on the clock.
Preset Timer Method a)
To play a game using the first Preset Timer option, press one of
the Timing Activator buttons to start one of the clocks. Each player
then has 3 minutes to complete all the moves and 2 seconds free
time for each individual move. ADD BEFORE appears on the
LCDs. This means that 2 seconds will be added to your opponent’s
clock as soon as you have made your move and pressed the
Timing Activator button i.e. before your opponent makes a move. If
your opponent then makes a move in less than 2 seconds, he or
she will make a net gain in remaining time on the clock.
E.g. You have 3 minutes on your clock and your opponent
presses the Timing Activator button. Your clock now shows 3
minutes and 2 seconds. If you then complete your move and press
your Timing Activator button in 1 second, your clock will show 3
minutes and 1 second, because you made the move in a faster
time than was allocated. In this way, you can accumulate free time
on the remaining time for the game, by completing your move in
less than 2 seconds each time. Conversely, if you go over the
allocated 2 seconds, then your remaining time will be
proportionately reduced by the amount of time it takes you to
complete your move.
Preset Timer Methods b), c), d)
Under this general Bonus Timer option, you have another 3
preset timer methods to choose from. To switch to the second
preset timer option, press BONUS TIMER instead of the Timing
Activator button. Each player then has 50 minutes to complete all
