Operating the clock on an MP-70

The TIME IN switch allows you to start and stop the clock. You can also start and stop the clock with an optional hand switch.
When the clock is stopped, the Time Out  symbol appears on the LCD display.
When the clock is running (TIME IN), an up or down arrow on the LCD display indicates the direction in which the clock is counting. In the example shown, the clock is counting up. 

If you want to change the clock direction, follow these steps:
  1. With the clock stopped, press and hold SHIFT while pressing CLK. UP/DN . 
  2. At the COUNT UP or COUNT DOWN prompt, press and hold SHIFT while pressing YES .
The CLOCK SET key allows you to set the clock for game, break, and overtime periods. This key is unavailable while the clock is running; stop the clock before pressing it. With the clock stopped, follow these steps: 
 
  1. Press CLOCK SET repeatedly to cycle through the screens shown on the following pages:  
  2. After selecting the period for which you are setting the clock, verify the duration shown is correct. If you need to change the duration, enter a new time on the numeric keypad.
  3. Press ENTER to set the clock to the period type and duration indicated on the LCD display.
The first two characters on the top line of the LCD display indicate which period type is currently selected (BK for break, OT for overtime, HT for halftime, and the two-character sport code for regular game periods). Letters will flash for PG, (pre-game) HT (halftime) and BK (break) periods.
 
                        Note:       If you are operating the clock with hand switch, the TIME IN switch on the MP-70/50 must be in the time out position. Before attempting to reset the clock with the hand switch, be sure the                                           TIME IN switches on both the MP-70/50 and hand switch are in the time out position.

                        Note:      On Baseball scoreboards that feature game clock, you have the option of operating the clock in HOURS mode. This must be enabled in the CHANGE SPORT settings. See SELECTING AND                                                CHANGING SPORTS on page 148 and BASEBALL on page 67 for more information on baseball settings.
