HANGE OF LEVEL RECOMMENDED
If you obtain high scores in 3 successive
puzzles, the bottom row of the grid may
show:
Then if you press ENTER, the computer
displays the next higher level for the start
of your next puzzle (§ 1.3.3). (Instead
CLEAR leaves the level as it was before.)
Similarly if you make 3 successive low
scores, the computer may invite you to
switch to the next lower level.
7.3 A
LTERING THE TIME FOR THE LEVEL
At the start of a puzzle, you may change
the time allotted for the level:
(1) When the level is displayed, press
TIMER. The time “blinks”, but the
level is static.
(2) Press UP or DOWN (as many times
as required) to alter the time, then
press ENTER.
(3) When the level is displayed for the
start of the next puzzle, a press on
TIMER will revert to the standard
timing.
Note: When a non-standard timing is
chosen, your fi nal score (see § 7.1) does
not include a “time bonus” or “time
penalty”. In this case the score at the
bottom of the display is a percentage,
not a total.
During a puzzle you may stop the
computerʼs clock by pressing PAUSE.
The next key-press starts it again.
8 LANGUAGE AND LCD
CONTRAST
A press on the OPTIONS key displays:
To switch between these items, press UP
or DOWN . When the required item is
“blinking”, press ENTER.
If you select Language, the list of
languages appears as in § 1.1. The
computerʼs language may be altered with
UP or DOWN and ENTER.
If you select Contrast, you can press UP
or DOWN repeatedly to view 10 different
contrast settings for the liquid crystal
display. When the right one is obtained,
press ENTER.
To return to the game or puzzle, press
CLEAR.
9 HINTS
If you arenʼt sure how to continue the
solution to a puzzle, you can ask for clues
by using the HINT key. The way the clues
work depends on the type of puzzle.
