Note - Anywhere in here where the number of minutes is set with 2 - : - 0 - 0, for example, can be set using just 2. Either way will work here - the longer form is used here to better describe how to enter the time in various situations.

Setting the Main Game Time
Press GAME MODE to ensure the score clock is ready. Press ENTER, the length of the period you want to have (using numbers separated by a colon), then CLOCK SET.

Example - the main game time needs to be set to 15 minutes

ENTER 1 - 5 - : - 0 - 0 CLOCK SET

This also comes in handy when having to reset the time if the clock happened to be started or stopped early.

Setting the Period
Press ENTER, the number of period you want it to be, then PERIOD.

Setting Goals
There are two ways to set the score:

1) Manually setting each goal when it happens
This is as simple as ENTER, the number of goals the team has, then HOME/GUEST SCORE

Example - the HOME team just scored a goal to go ahead 3-2

ENTER - 3 - HOME SCORE

2) Adding a goal to the total each time one is scored
When you press SCORE on either the HOME or GUEST side, the score will automatically go up 1.

Setting Penalties
Setting penalties works similar to setting the game time, except that once you finish, instead of the readout saying "PERIOD", it will say "PLAYER". Here, you simply type in the number of the player.

Setting penalties works similar to setting the game time, except that instead of using CLOCK SET, you are using either HOME or GUEST PENALTY.

Example - white receives 2 minutes for slashing, and white is the home team

ENTER - 2 - : - 0 - 0 - HOME PENALTY

To enter a second penalty, press HOME/GUEST PENALTY until Penalty 2 is shown on the display panel, and repeat the same procedure as above for setting penalties.

Erasing Penalties
To take penalties off, press ENTER, then 0, then HOME or GUEST PENALTY, depending on the side which has the penalty you want to clear.

For clearing a penalty that is not Penalty 1, press HOME or GUEST PENALTY, depending on the side which has the penalty you want to clear, until you get to the penalty you would like to clear. Once this is done, you can then use ENTER, then 0, then HOME or GUEST PENALTY.

Remember - if you do not scroll to the penalty you want to clear, the first penalty that is up on the score board will be cleared instead.

Example - Two penalties against the GUEST - the second penalty has 1:32 left, the first penalty has 0:10 left. The second player's penalty is cancelled by the goal

Press GUEST PENALTY until you see the penalty in the readout (Guest Penalty 2). Now press ENTER, then 0, then HOME or GUEST PENALTY.

More Than Two Penalties Running At Once
If there are more than two penalties assessed to either the HOME or VISITOR side, the scoreboard knows that only two penalties can run for one team at any given time. So if three penalties are set for one side, only the first two that were entered will run. Once one of the penalties has expired, it will come off the scoreboard, and the third penalty will then be displayed, and will begin counting down.

Turning off the Interval Horn
If the interval horn is running, the best thing to do is turn the clock off and enter everything again. To turn off the clock, press CLEAR for 5 seconds, and everything will reset to 0.
