The Backgammon Timer operates on one AA battery. If the Backgammon Timer will
not be used for a long period, we recommend removing the battery to avoid
possible damage caused by a leaking battery. When the battery symbol is shown
in the bottom right corner of the display, the Backgammon Timer can still be
used for several long games though it is recommended to replace the battery by
a new one.

- Do not use rechargeable batteries in this product.
- Place the battery in the battery compartment with the correct polarity.
- A dead battery should be removed from the product immediately.

Setting the game time
At the start of a game both players receive the same amount of time. The game
time can be set as per below time intervals.
Game time per player/Game time interval options:
- Below 1 minute Intervals of 1 second
- Between 1 and 10 minutes Intervals of 30 seconds
- Between 10 and 30 minutes Intervals of 1 minute
- Between 30 minutes and 2 hours Intervals of 5 minutes
- 2 hours and 9 hours and 30 minutes Intervals of 30 minutes
Note: Below 1 minute, the delay time can be set with intervals of 1 second. Between 1 minute and 9 minutes and 50 seconds it can be set with intervals of 10 seconds.
Flag behaviour
On the side of the first player that reaches zero, i.e., runs out of time, a
blinking flag will be displayed and his clock will stop. When the second
player reaches zero, the clock will stop counting but no flag is displayed
This makes it possible to always establish which player reached zero first,
i.e., ran out of time first.
Beeper behaviour
The beeper can be switched on or off by keeping the button pressed down for 2
seconds when turning on the Backgammon Timer. The symbol is displayed when the
beeper is activated. With sound activated, there is a short beep when 10, 5,
4, 3 and 2 seconds remain and a longer beep when 1 second remains until zero
is reached.

Your Backgammon Timer is a durable well-made product. When treated with care
