Using Ing Clocks

These instructions explain how to set clocks manufactured by the Ing Chang' ki Wei-chi Education Foundation

Step 1: Open the lid on the top of the clock.

Step 2: The Set/Run button must be in SET mode (down).

Step 3: The BT/RS (Basic Time/Read Seconds) button must be in BT mode (down).

Step 4: The On/Off button must be in ON mode (down). After turn the clock is on, the screens will be lit. After two seconds the clock will show 0:00.

Step 5: To set the basic time, the large white button controls the hours and the large black button controls the minutes. Press these buttons until the proper numbers show. Holding the button down makes the numbers increase rapidly. If you pass the desired number you must go to the end and back around or turn the clock off and start over.

Step 6: To set byo-yomi (secondary) time, the BT/RS button must be in RS mode (up).

Step 7: The number of periods is controlled by the large black button and the number of seconds per period is controlled by the large white button. The Ing clocks will only do this type of secondary time. They cannot be set for Canadian style byo-yomi (such as 20 moves in 5 minutes).

Step 8: Now put the Set/Run button in Run mode (up).

Step 9: Close the lid.

The clock is now ready to be used for timing the game.

Players press the large buttons to signal the end of a move-listen for the beep to be sure the clock has switched to the other side. By pressing the small black button you can see how much time the other player has left. In an even game, White presses the large white button to start Black's clock to begin the game. In handicap games, Black presses the large black button after placing the handicap stones to start White's clock and begin the game.

If you need to pause the clock during the game (in case of some sort of dispute, for example), simply put the Set/Run button in Set mode (down). When ready to resume, return the button to Run mode (up).
