5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Response Modes

The TM102 system offers three distinct response modes to suit various game types:

• General Mode: All buttons show blue lights when ready. The first successful answer turns green, unsuccessful turns white. A locked button turns yellow and cannot participate until unlocked.
• Rule Mode: When a countdown starts, buttons display colors in sequence (green, blue, red). When a button displays blue, it indicates it's ready for an answer.
• Random Mode: The host presses the random key, and button colors display in sequence (green, blue, red). Pressing the random key again selects one responder, displaying green, while unselected ones turn white.

• Blue Light: Indicates the third responder.

• Red Light: Indicates a foul or incorrect response.

5.3. Locking Function

The host controller features a locking function to manage game flow. After a player buzzes in and provides an answer, the host can lock that player's button. This prevents them from buzzing in again until the host unlocks it, allowing other players a chance in subsequent rounds or questions.
