Tracking timeouts

If your scoreboard lets you display the number of timeouts left, this sec-

tion will help you do so. If your scoreboard does not display timeouts left,

you can still track timeouts with the MP-70/50 as discussed in the follow

ing section.

To update the number of timeouts left, follow the steps below.

1. After stopping the game clock, press HOME TIMEOUT or VISITOR

TIMEOUT. The LCD display indicates the duration of the timeout as

shown below.

2. Press -1.

These steps also start the timeout timer. By default, this timer appears only

on the LCD display. In the sport-specific settings, you can program the

timer to appear on the scoreboard as well. To change the duration of the

timeout timer, see the sport-specific settings.

The horn sounds at the end of the timeout only if the timer appears on

the scoreboard. When the timeout timer reaches 15 seconds, the horn

sounds for one second. It sounds again when the timer reaches zero.

Alternate timeout timer

The MP-70 offers an alternate timeout timer for basketball. Follow the

steps below to start a timeout timer using the alternate duration.

1. After stopping the game clock, press HOME TIMEOUT or VISITOR

TIMEOUT twice. The LCD display indicates the duration of the alter-

nate timeout timer as shown below.

2. Press -1.
