•To exit Position Mode, press CLEAR. You will return to
normal game play, with your new board position.
Note that any legal position can be set up using the above
procedures. The computer will not permit you to set up an
illegal position, such as one where there are more than the
prescribed number of pieces for a normal game, or one
where a King is in check and is not to move. In such cases,
the computer will simply beep when you press CLEAR, and
you will not be allowed to exit Position Mode. Check the
position using the PIECE SYMBOL KEYS, if necessary, and
correct the position (by adding a piece, removing a piece, or
moving an incorrectly placed piece). Then press CLEAR to
exit Position Mode.
9. TECHNICAL DETAILS
9.1 The ACL Function
Computers sometimes “lock up” due to static discharge or
other electrical disturbances. If this should happen, take out
the batteries and use a pin or another sharp object to press
into the hole marked ACL in the base of the unit for at least
one second. This resets the computer.
9.2 Care and Maintenance
Your chess computer is a precision electronic device, and
should not be subjected to rough handling or exposed to
extreme temperatures or moisture. Be sure to disconnect the
adapter (if applicable) and remove the batteries before clean-
ing the unit. Do not use chemical agents or liquids to clean
the unit, as they may damage the plastic.
Weak batteries should be replaced promptly, since they can
leak and damage the computer. Please also note the follow-
ing regarding the use of batteries.
Warning: Use only alka-
line or zinc carbon batteries. Do not mix different types
of batteries or new and used batteries. Do not recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. Use only the recommended
batteries or equivalent. Be sure to observe the correct
polarity when inserting batteries. Worn out batteries
should be removed from the unit promptly. Do not short
circuit the supply terminals.
If an AC-DC adapter is used with this unit, it must be as
specified in Section 9.3. An adapter is not a toy and should
be handled with care. Please also note the following regard-
ing the use of an AC-DC adapter.
Warning: Use a center
positive adapter with safety isolating transformer. The
polarity symbols confirming its center positivity should
be clearly marked on the adapter, and the adapter must
comply with EN60742. The adapter should be regularly
examined for potential hazards such as damage to the
plug, cable or cord, casing or other parts. In the event of
damage, the adapter should not be used.
