Thanks,

MANUAL

- The only multiplayer
game timer available. The G8 has more features and sells
for less than half the cost of its chess clock
competitors.
- It is small enough to
be placed in a shirt pocket, 90 mm x 120 mm (3.6 in x
4.75 in). Display measures 34 mm x 67 mm (1 3/8 in x 2
5/8 in). Display only shows actual digits of time, e.g..
4 minutes and 35 seconds remaining is displayed as 4:35
and not 0:04:35.
- Comes with
abbreviated instructions glued inside a protective cover,
similar to many calculators.
- Comprehensive printed
instructions in English are also included, see Adobe pdf
file below.
- Features quick set
options for up to 8 different players. Each player can be
assigned different turn times, and a different maximum
time for all their turns.
- A maximum total game
time can also be set.
- The G8 has 2 extra
memories so you can save start and mid-game settings.
Weeks or months later you can begin with these. Also
saved are the delay and warning settings and the last
player to have played. On recalling a memory the G8 will
automatically be positioned to start with the last player
if they had time remaining. Otherwise it will advance to
the next player.
- The G8 can be paused
in a game and a player's time can be adjusted or a player
can be quickly added or removed.
- At any time during a
game (without pausing) the display can be switched
between increasing or decreasing display of time. Also
select between displaying in the large digits the total
time remaining for all your turns or your individual turn
time remaining.
- There are both sound
and light warnings options. Both can be on or off, or the
red LED can be used without the sound. They can be set to
flash and sound briefly each second for up to the last 9
seconds of a single turn, at the end of your total time
for all your turns and at the end of a game. The light
and/or sound selected will also function briefly while
pressing any button during setup or during a
game.
- The warning sound
volume is adjustable.
- The G8 can be set
with a delay of up to 59 seconds, so that when the start
/ stop button is pressed the active player is stopped and
the timing of the next player begins after the delay
period. Use this in chess or for playing trivia type
games where the delay period is used for asking
questions, or use it for dice games where the dice have
to be handed to another player. At any time during the
delay countdown you can override the remaining time by
pressing the start/stop key.
- Multiple remote start
/ stop switches (momentary type switches) can be used.
None are included but you can make
your own.
The unit is powered by 1
CR2032 long life battery and there is a place to insert a
second in parallel. When the LCD begins to fade, press pause
and insert a new battery in the second position and then
remove the old battery. Press the Start/Stop button to
continue your game without losing any
information.
The LCD has an auto off
feature for conserving battery life, activated automatically
when the G8 has been paused or a player's time has elapsed
without further action for 10 minutes .
The G8 is manufactured to
the most stringent ISO 9001 requirements and the final
Quality Assurance (QA) is based on US military AQL standard
level II. The G8 comes with a one year warranty.
