Period Transitions With Different Bonus Or Delay Times; Batteries - DGT 3000 Bedienungsanleitung

For example, White gets 5 minutes and Black 4 minutes. Mostly a bonus or delay of 3 seconds is used
th
after the 60 move.
The DGT 3000 does not however allow starting a next period after a number of moves in a TIME
method though in a period with the FISCH method this is possible. The solution to set an Armageddon
timing system is to start with a FISCH period with 0 seconds bonus. Then enter 60 as the number of
moves. In the second period the main time is set to 0:00.00 and the Bonus time is 0.03. Select END
after this. It is also possible to use DELAY or US-DELAY in the second period.
Move-timer
In some games players receive only a certain fixed time per move, which is reloaded after each move.
When a player reaches 0.00 it must be possible to continue play. This is called a move timer.
With the DGT 3000 move timer can be set with a byo-yomi (BYO) method as first period. The byo-
yomi time should be set to the time per move and the number of periods to 00

Period transitions with different bonus or delay times

The DGT 3000 makes it possible to program subsequent periods with different bonus or delay times.
The World Chess Federation FIDE requires that in a Fischer bonus period the bonus time must be
added for the first move. So it should also be added for the first move of every subsequent period.
This is important when the bonus time changes in the next period. A common setting is that a period
of Time (no bonus per move) is followed by a Fischer period with a certain bonus time per move. As
soon as the Fischer period starts, then the bonus time should be added together with the main time
for the next period.
In general: when a new period is started because one of the players reaches zero, the main time for
the next period is added plus the difference between the new and the old time per move. When the
player with the Black figures reaches 0.00 first, then the time for White has to be corrected with the
difference between the new and old time per move, because White received the old time per move
before the next period started.

Batteries

The DGT 3000 works with two AA (penlight) batteries. These batteries are included with the clock in
the box. When these batteries are exhausted it is recommended to exchange them for alkaline
batteries. We recommend removing the batteries if the clock will not be used for a longer period in
order to avoid damage that can be caused by leaking batteries. When you see this symbol in
the top fof the display the batteries should be exchanged although the clock can still be used for
several long games.
Exchanging the batteries
Remove the battery cover.
