VTEK300 Advanced Chess Clock

User Guide

4. Last Game

The Last Game function displays the ending time display of the last game played on the
clock. (including information regarding any TD adjustments made.) This function is used
as a “photo finish” to help a TD determine the outcome of the last game played if 
necessary. This function may be used to restart a game if it was incorrectly interrupted. 
To restart a game, press the 

(CB)

 to load the last game. If the last game finished with a 

player with no time, it will reset the time control and move you to Ready Mode. If the last
game was halted in the middle of the game, it was paused and then reset, then it will 
load the game back to when you reset it, paused, ready to resume playing.

5. How to Change the Batteries 

While in Ready Mode, if the batteries are running low, the VTEK300 will alert the player 
that the clock is running low on battery power. This is done by a “Battery Low” message 
flashing across the text line. When the VTEK300 displays this warning, it is highly 
recommend to replace the batteries with 3 AA alkaline batteries. To find the batteries, 
turn the VTEK300 upside down and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 
screws securing the battery compartment cover. Remove the old batteries and place the
new batteries in the battery holder and secure the battery compartment cover back 
using the four screws. Although the VTEK300 is designed to operate 12+ game hours 
following the low battery warning, it is highly recommended to replace the batteries 
promptly, once the low battery warning is displayed. 

The Batteries are estimated to last for 850 hours of game usage. When the clock is in 
idle mode, the batteries are estimated to last more than 2 years. It is also highly 
recommend to remove the batteries before storing the VTEK300 for long periods of time
without use to prevent damage from battery leakage.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

The Clock should not be exposed to high temperature in excess of its operating 
temperature or direct sunlight for extended period of time to avoid temporary LCD 
malfunction and possible damage. 
To clean the clock, use only a slightly-moistened soft cloth. Do not use abrasive 
cleaners. Check on occasion the battery compartment to eliminate the possibility of 
batteries leaks or corrosion. If there is any corrosion, remove the batteries immediately 
and clean the battery compartment completely. It is recommended if you are not using 
the clock for long periods of time, to remove the AA batteries from the clock. This will 
extend the battery life of the batteries and avoids damage that can be caused by leaking
batteries or corrosion.
