GAME CLOCK OPERATION
STOPPING AND STARTING THE CLOCK
NCAA:
IT IS VERY IMORTATNT TO START AND STOP THE GAME CLOCK JUST AS YOU HAVE
DONE IN THE PAST. YOU ARE ASSISTING THE GAME OFFICIALS ON THE FLOOR.
REMEMBER: YOU (THE GAME CLOCK OPERATOR) ARE THE BACK UP TO THE SYSTEM
IN CASE THE BELT PACK FAILS TO HEAR THE WHISTLE.
DO NOT FORGET TO STOP THE GAME CLOCK IN THE LAST MINUTE OF THE SECOND
HALF AFTER EVERY MADE FIELD GOAL, OR THE LAST MINUTE OF EACH AND EVERY
OVERTIME PERIOD AFTER EVERY MADE FIELD GOAL.
NBA:
IT IS VERY IMORTATNT TO START AND STOP THE GAME CLOCK JUST AS YOU HAVE
DONE IN THE PAST. YOU ARE ASSISTING THE GAME OFFICIALS ON THE FLOOR.
REMEMBER: YOU (THE GAME CLOSCK OPERATOR) ARE THE BACK UP TO THE SYSTEM
IN CASE THE BELT PACK FAILS TO HEAR THE WHISTLE.
DO NOT FORGET TO STOP THE GAME CLOCK IN THE LAST MINUTE OF PERIODS 1, 2 & 3
AFTER EVERY MADE FIELD GOAL. YOU MUST ALSO STOP THE GAME CLOCK IN THE
LAST (2) TWO MINUTES OF THE FORTH PERIOD OR ANY OVERTIME PERIOD AFTER
EVERY MADE FIELD GOAL.
RESETTING THE GAME CLOCK
IT IS IMPORTANT TO PUT THE PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS® BASE STATION IN THE STOP
MODE BEFORE THE TIMEKEEPER RESETS THE CLOCK. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL
CAUSE THE GAME CLOCK NOT TO START.
OFFICIALS INSTRUCTIONS
YOUR PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS BELT PACKS ARE NOW ON! DO NOT BLOW YOUR
WHISTLES TOO CLOSE TO THE MICROPHONES IN THE LOCKER ROOM BECAUSE YOU
WILL STOP THE GAME CLOCK IN THE AREANA.
CLEAN TEST YOUR WHISTLES AWAY FROM THE MICROPHONES!
ATTACHING THE BELT PACKS/MICROPHONES:
•
CHOOSE A LOCATION ON YOUR WAIST WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO WEAR
YOUR PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS® BELT PACK.
NOTE: (WE RECOMMEND YOU CHOOSE YOUR LEFT OR RIGHT REAR,
DEPENDING ON WHICH HAND YOU PREFER TO USE WHEN STARTING THE
GAME CLOCK.
•
•
•
•
PUT THE PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS® BELT PACK ON YOUR HIP.
RUN THE MICROPHONE CORD UP THE INSIDE OF YOUR SHIRT.
PULL ENOUGH CORD TO MATCH THE LENGTH OF YOUR LANYARD.
ATTACH THE MICROPHONE TO THE MICROPHONE HOLDER ON YOUR LANYARD.
NOTE: THIS LANYARD IS AVAILABLE THROUGH PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS
INC.® AND FOX 40.
•
YOU ARE READY TO GO.
WHISTLE COMPATABILITY:
CAUTION:
THE PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS® TIME SWITCHING SYSTEM IS PROGRAMMED TO THE
FOX 40 CLASSIC WHISTLE ONLY. OTHER WHISLTES WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE
SYSTEM WILL BE COMPROMISED IF ANOTHER WHISTLE IS USED. THE FOX 40 CLASSIC
IS THE OFFICIAL WHISTLE OF THE PRECICION TIME SYSTEM®.
OPERATION FOR THE OFFICIAL IS EASY. A SHARP BLAST ON THE
WHISTLE --- STOPS THE GAME CLOCK!
STARTING THE GAME CLOCK:
•
•
•
THE START BUTTON IS ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS®
BELT PACK. (IT IS EASILY IDENTIFIED BY THE “RAISED DIMPLES” -- THAT
IDENTIFIES ITS LOCATION.)
PRESS THE BUTTON FIRMLY.
WATCH THE GAME CLOCK START THEN RELEASE BUTTON.
COMMUNICATION:
THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARTNERS FOR ALL CLOCK
START SITUATIONS.
NOTE: THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE FLOOR OFFICIAL STARTING THE GAME CLOCK
ALONG WITH THE TIMEKEEPER AT THE SCORER’S TABLE. THE START BUTTON
SHOULD BE PRESSED ONLY WHEN THE BALL IS LEGALLY TOUCHED. THE CLOCK
STARTING OFFICIAL SHOULD BE DESIGNATED PRIOR TO THE START OF THE GAME.
CAUTION:
IF MORE THAN ONE FLOOR OFICIAL STARTS THE GAME CLOCK, YOU MAY HAVE A
CANCELLATION OF A STOP WHISTLE SIGNAL.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
IF THE OTHER FLOOR OFFICIALS HIT THEIR START BUTTONS WHILE ONE OF THE
FLOOR OFFICIALS BLOWS THEIR WHISTLE, THEY MAY CAUSE A CANCELLATION OF
THE STOP SIGNAL AND THE CLOCK WILL CONTINUE TO RUN. (EXAMPLE: START
CLOCK – STOP CLOCK – START CLOCK).
THE PERSON, WHO WILL BACK UP THE OFFICIALS, WILL BE THE TIMER AT THE
SCORER’S TABLE. YOU WILL LOSE SOME TIME. THIS HAPPENS DUE TO THEIR
REACTION TIME FROM WHEN THEY SEE THE BALL LEGALLY TOUCHED AND THE
WHISTLE BEING BLOWN (TIME OUT, QUICK FOUL ETC.). SO IF YOU HAVE DEFINATE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE TIME ON THE GAME CLOCK, SINCE THE BALL WAS DEAD, YOU
CAN RESET THE CLOCK WITHOUT GUESSING.
THE MANUFACTURER HIGHLY RECCOMMEDNDS THAT ONLY ONE
FLOOR OFFICIAL STARTS THE GAME CLOCK. THIS OFFICIAL SHOULD
BE DESIGNATED THE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE THE GAME.
NBA - - THE OFFICIAL CONTROLLING THE THROW IN SHOULD BE DESINATED THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO START THE CLOCK.
IF THIS BECOMES A PROBLEM, WE AT PRECISION TIME SYSTEMS INC.® CAN DISABLE
THE OTHER BELT PACKS SO THAT ONLY ONE WILL WORK FROM THE FLOOR/FIELD.
THE BELT PACKS WILL ALSO BE MARKED AS TO WHICH ONE WILL START THE GAME
CLOCK.
THESE ARE JUST SOME SIMPLE GUIDELINES. AS OFFICIALS BECOME
MORE CONFORTABLE WITH THE SYSTEM, STARTING THE GAME CLOCK
WILL BECOME AN AUTOMATIC REFLEX!
SOFTWARE/COPYRIGHTS/REGISTRATIONS
THE PRECISION TIME SYSTEM USES THE FOX 40 CLASSIC
WHISTLE ONLY!
IT IS THE ONLY WHISTLE THAT WILL WORK WITH THE
PRECISION TIME SYSTEM®. OTHER WHISTLES WILL NOT
WORK PROPERLY AND THE SYSTEM WILL BE COMPROMISED
IF ANOTHER SYSTEM IS USED.
THE FOX 40 CLASSIC IS THE OFFICIAL WHISTLE OF THE
PRECISION TIME SYSTEM.

TROUBLESHOOTING
LOW BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR:
IF ONE OF THE LOW BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON YOU SHOULD:
•
•
•
•
•
INFORM THE FLOOR OFFICIAL WHOSE NUMBER ON THE BELT PACK COINCIDES
WITH THE NUMBER ON THE BASE STATION. (IF POSSIBLE, THIS SHOULD BE
DONE DURING A DEAD BALL SITUATION)
EACH LOW-BATTERY LIGHT HAS A NUMBER ON THE BASE STATION, EACH BELT
PACK ALSO HAS A NUMBER THAT COINSIDE WITH THOSE NUMBERS ON THE
BASE STATION.
ONCE THE LOW-BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATES, THE BELT PACK WILL
STILL FUNCTON FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE (1) HOUR.
WHEN TIME PERMITS (END OF A QUARTER OR AT HALF TIME), REPLACE THE 3VOLT LITHIUM BATTERY (SEE “INSTALLING THE BATTERIES – PAGE 1).
ONCE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED, YOU MUST RE-SET THE BASE
STATION BY TURNING IT OFF FOR FIVE (5) SECONDS, AND THE TURNING IT
BACK ON. THIS WILL RE-BOOT THE SYSTEM AFTER THE BATTERY CHANGE.
NOTE: YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE NEW BATTERIES FOR EVERY GAME.
RE-BOOTING THE PRECISION TIME BASE STATION:
IF DURING THE GAME YOU SEE THAT THE PRECISION TIME SYSTEM® IS NOT STARTING
THE CLOCK FROM THE BELT PACKS, OR STOPPING THE CLOCK WHEN THE WHISTLE
HAS SOUNDED, THE COMPUTER MAY NEED TO BE “RE-BOOTED”. TO RE-BOOT THE
SYSTEM YOU SHOULD:
TURN THE POWER SWITCH OFF THEN IMMEDIATLEY TURN IT BACK ON. THIS WILL RESET THE MICROPROCESSOR IN THE SYSTEM. YOU MAY WANT TO DO THIS DURING A
DEAD BALL.
IF YOU RE-BOOT THE SYSTEM WHILE THE GAME IS IN PROGRESS, MAKE SURE THAT
YOU QUICKLY PRESS THE START BUTTON ON THE BASE STATION. THIS PROCEDURE
SHOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT A SECOND. BEFORE THE START OF A GAME OR THE
START OF THE SECOND HALF OR OVERTIME, YOU SHOULD TURN THE PRECISION TIME
BASE STATION OFF THEN BACK ON.
WITH DAKTRONICS OR NEVCO EQUIPMENT, YOU NEED TO RE-BOOT THE SYSTEM
WHILE THE GAME CLOCK IS “RUNNING”. TO RE-BOOT THE SYSTEM YOU SHOULD:
