Battery Installation
The Pocket Pro II operates on a 9 volt alkaline battery. It is important to use alkaline batteries due to the power demand of the buzzer. To install the battery, remove the cover, connect the battery to the wire clip, t the battery in the compartment, and replace the cover. Once installed, the Pocket Pro II will briey display a sign-on message, followed by the main operating screen. The sign on message can be bypassed by pressing one of the menu buttons.
If at any time you suspect the unit is not functioning normally, try resetting it. The procedure is listed on page 11 of this manual.
Automatic Shutdown
If no shots are detected and no buttons are pressed for a period of ten minutes, the timer will power down automatically. This will prevent battery discharge in the event it is not turned o after use. To wake up the timer, press the SET/ON button.
Forced Shutdown
To turn the Pocket Pro II o, press and hold the MENU DOWN button for approximately 3 seconds.

Quick Start!
If you want to get started right away, all you have to do is press the start button on the side and shoot. The Pocket Pro II comes from the factory congured and ready to run. After the timer shuts down, press the SET/ON button to turn it on.
Control Buttons
There are four buttons on the front of the case. Looking at the front of the case, you will see the MENU UP/DOWN buttons on the left, and the SET UP/DOWN value buttons on the right.
MENU UP/DOWN
The MENU UP/DOWN buttons are used to navigate forward and backward through a short loop of menu screens where the user can access information and settable values.
SET UP/DOWN
In menu screens with ashing settable values, pressing the SET (up arrow symbol) will increase the value and SET/ON (down arrow symbol) will decrease the value.

Shot Detection
Each time a shot is detected, it will be added to the “shot string” maintained within the timer. The timer will automatically calculate the “split time.” Split time is the time between the current shot and the previous shot. The timer can store up to 99 shots for a given timing cycle. Subsequent shots will be stored by overwriting the previous value of shot 99.
Shot Review Screen
Shots will be displayed on the shot review screen in a “one shot per line” format. Reading from left to right in the shot line, the shot time appears rst, followed by the shot number, and nally the split time, if any. When rst navigating to the shot review screen after the start of a cycle, the rst shot will appear on the 3rd line, and the last shot will appear on the 2nd line, if there are 4 or more shots. Otherwise, the shots will be clearly identied by their shot numbers. Use the SET UP/DOWN buttons to scroll through the shot string.

Setting the PAR Time (second beep)
The par time setting (also known as the “second beep”) comes congured from the factory for 0 seconds. When the par time is set to 0, the timer will beep only once, at the start of a timing cycle. Setting the par time to other than 0 will give you a beep at the start, and the end of the par time period. Par time is adjustable from 0 to 199.9 seconds. Hold the SET UP or SET DOWN button to increase the speed at which the digits increment for large par times. Press the SET UP and SET DOWN buttons simulta­neously to reset the Par Time to zero.
Setting the Start Delay
The start delay is completely congurable. If enabled, it can generate a xed delay or random delays between .5 seconds and 9.9 seconds. The timer is set to a factory default delay time between 1 and 4 seconds.
Instant (No Delay)
Using the MENU UP/DOWN buttons, advance to the “START DELAY TYPE” screen. Use the SET UP or SET DOWN button to select “ INSTANT.” The timer will start instantly when you press the start button.

Fixed Delay
On the same screen as mentioned in the previous section, select “RANDOM.” Now, using the MENU UP/DOWN button, advance to the “RANDOM START TIME – MINIMUM” and “RANDOM START TIME – MAXIMUM” display screens. In both screens, select the same delay time, between .5 seconds and 9.9 seconds. This will result in a xed delay time at the setting specied. Note that the timer will not allow you to set a minimum time greater than the current maximum time, or a maximum time less than the current minimum time. It will “push” the alternate time value along to match the setting currently being adjusted.
Random Delay
To achieve a random delay, set the maximum and minimum delay times at the outer limits of the random delay time range desired. When started, the timer will produce a random start delay between these limits each time start is pressed.
Display Backlighting
Use the SET UP/DOWN buttons to set the number of seconds (from 0 to 99) the display backlighting will remain on. Setting the value to zero will turn if o. To activate the backlight, press any button. If you would like to illuminate the current display, press the MENU UP, then MENU DOWN button. Longer periods with the back­light turned on will shorten battery life.

Beeper Volume
The beeper volume can be adjusted by pressing the SET UP or SET DOWN button. Changes are indicated by a “bar graph” display indicator as well as a sample of the sound level. A new setting will be saved automatically.
Setting the Main Display Type
The Pocket Pro II can be congured to show three dierent types of main displays. These are selected from the “MAIN SCREEN TYPE” menu, and are described below.
Review Direct
When the “Review Direct” main display is selected, the last split time will appear in the upper right hand corner of the main display. Pressing either the SET UP or SET DOWN button will jump directly to the shot review screen. Pressing the MENU UP button will return to the main display screen.

“RPM” Mode
When the “Rounds per Minute” main display is selected, the Pocket Pro II no longer displays shot times, but now will display rounds per minute. To use this mode, press the START button. After the beep, re shots; the timer will display the rounds per minute based on the number of shots and the time between the rst shot and the last. Shots recorded more than 199.99 seconds after the start beep will render readings invalid until START is pressed again. The normal shot dead time setting is overridden when in RPM mode and set to a xed value of 0.032 seconds. This allows the Pocket Pro II to detect shots at rates of up to 1800 RPM.
(NOTE: Please see Accuracy on page 10)
Single Time Only
When the “Single Time Only” main display is selected, the current shot time appears on the main display and is sized to ll up the screen. Pressing either the SET UP or SET DOWN button will jump directly to the shot review screen. Pressing the MENU UP will return to the main display screen.

Shot Dead Time
The SHOT DEAD TIME feature is used to reduce false shot recordings due to echoes or ringing . Once a shot is detected, the Pocket Pro II will disregard subsequent shots for a short period of time. The default setting is .11 seconds, but can be adjusted from .05 to .12 seconds. If your split time between shots is less than .11 seconds, an adjust­ment will be necessary. Navigate to the SHOT DEAD TIME display using the MENU UP/DOWN buttons and adjust as needed. The shot dead time setting is set to a xed value of .032 seconds when in the RPM mode.
Shot Sensitivity
Shot sensitivity is variable between 0 and 25 and is settable from the SHOT SENSITIV­ITY screen. Use the SET UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the value. Increase the value for greater sensitivity; decrease it for less sensitivity. Keep in mind that higher sensitivity settings will also increase the chance of false shot detection from handling, vibration, or other noise sources.

Setting the Date and Time
Using the MENU UP/DOWN buttons, cycle through the MONTH, DAY, YEAR, HOURS, and MINUTES display screens using the SET UP/DOWN buttons to set the date and time. To synchronize to the nearest second, set the “MINUTES” value and at the mark, advance to the next/previous display screen. Internally, the timer will be set to 0 seconds at the instant you change to a dierent menu screen. Be sure to note the AM/ PM setting on the hours screen. The timer will usually retain time and date settings when changing batteries if the change is done as quickly as possible. However, if the battery is removed and not replaced immediately, time/date information is lost and must be reset.

Battery Status
Battery Status can be monitored in two places. On the main screen, a battery icon appears in the lower right-hand corner of the display. As the battery discharges, the icon will become more and more “hollow.” For a more detailed display of the battery condition, press the MENU UP or DOWN buttons repeatedly until the “battery condition” display appears. Here, you can see an expanded “bar graph” type display of the battery level. The timer will operate normally down to a reading of around 6V. When the battery becomes depleted to approximately 6.5 volts, the display backlighting will be turned o to conserve power. This will allow the session to continue in the event a replacement battery is not readily available. When the battery voltage becomes depleted to less than 6 volts, the Pocket Pro II will shut down to avoid undened operation.
Resetting the Timer to Factory Defaults
To reset factory default values within your timer, remove the battery, then hold down the “Start” button and reinstall the battery. Look at the display to see the message “INIT N/V MEMORY”. Now release the start button and the reset is complete.

Timer “Wraparound”
Internally, the timer is continuously counting up to 199.99 seconds and then “wrapping around” to 0. When the start button is pressed, this internal time is reset to 0. This means that the maximum timing period is limited to 199.9 seconds. Shots recorded after this will reect the “wrapped” time. Splits are calculated correctly, as long as the timer has wrapped around only once since the start of the cycle.
Accuracy
The Pocket Pro II measures internally to a resolution of 1 mSec, but shot displays, splits, etc. are internally rounded to the nearest 10 mSec. For this reason, RPM readings may appear to be inaccurate when manually calculated using the displayed shot string values. In reality, the RPM reading is actually more accurate than the manual calculation since it is calculated using the internal shot times, which are measured with 1mSec resolution.
