Main Clock Control
The Main Clock Start/Stop switch plugs into J4 on the back of the console (Figure 9).
This unit has a rocker switch for clock start/stop and a button for horn. The horn button
sounds the horn as long as the button is pressed.
Shot Clock Control
The Shot Clock Start/Stop switch plugs into J7 on the back of the console (Figure 9).
This unit has a rocker switch for Start/Stop and reset button(s). When a reset button is
pressed, the shot clock timer is changed to the reset value and stops the timer from
decrementing. The shot clock timer restarts when the reset button is released. In FIBA mode
for basketball, holding either reset button will blank the shot clock. In independent mode, the
switch starts and stops the shot clock timer when pushed, but does not stop when the main
clock is stopped. When in synchronized mode, the shot clock timer will stop and start with
the main clock switches only if it is running in the beginning.
Refer to Section 6, Section 7, and/or Section 22 for sport-specific information about shot
clock configurations.
