Setting the timer (MP-70 only)
You can program and store two different default shot timer clock dura-
tions (reset times) in permanent memory. This is especially useful when
games requiring different timer clock reset values are played back to back,
for example, a junior varsity girls’ contest followed by a varsity boys’
game.
Shot timer default reset values can be set into the control’s permanent
memory either while entering sport specific settings for basketball , or
when selecting the shot timer reset value as detailed in the following
instructions.
The shot timer reset value is selectable only when the game clock seconds
= 00, home & visitor score = 0, and the game clock is not counting. IN
other words, after the control is set for a new game (see
“NEW GAME” ON
PAGE 22) and before a new game has started. When these conditions are
met, press the SET TIMER/T.O.D. key twice and the LCD screen will
appear as shown below.
Press YES to select or program a different shot clock reset time. The bot-
tom half of the LCD screen will display the current values for both clocks.
The currently selected reset value is highlighted with dark brackets. In the
example screen below, the current shot timer reset value is 60 seconds.
To keep the currently selected reset time, press the ENTER key. To select
the other time, press
SHIFT+NEXT to highlight it then press the ENTER
key. If you want to change either reset value, highlight the desired value
with the
SHIFT+NEXT keys then use the numeric keypad to enter a new
two-digit time. Press the
ENTER key to keep it as your new default reset
time.
