• How do I reset my LEAP chess clock?

  To reset most LEAP digital chess clocks to their factory settings, you can often turn the device off and on again. For a full reset on some models, you may need to briefly remove and reinsert the battery.

• Why is the display on my LEAP timer dim?

  A dim or unreadable display usually indicates low battery power. Ensure the batteries are fresh and inserted with the correct polarity.

• How do I enable the alarm on the PQ9907S?

  In the setting mode (not play mode), navigate to the alarm option where '0' flashes. Change the value to '1' using the [+] button to enable the audible warning for the last three seconds of time.

• What batteries do LEAP chess clocks use?

  Most LEAP digital chess clocks, such as the PQ9907S, typically operate on standard AA batteries (1.5V). Always check your specific model's battery compartment or manual to confirm.

• How do I set delay or bonus time?

  On models like the PQ9907S, after setting the main countdown time, press the setting button to cycle to 'Bonus' or 'Delay' modes. Use the rocker switch or buttons to adjust the increment time (up to 59 seconds). Note that usually only one mode (bonus or delay) can be active at a time.
