Section 3: C-44 Race Timer Operation
3.1 General Operation
Access to all of the race controller’s functions is through the function keys (<F1> through
<F12>) located along the top edge of the keyboard. Many of the function keys have more
than one purpose, which are accessed by using the function keys in conjunction with the
<SHIFT>, <CTRL>, or <ALT> keys. A table of all functions (Figure 7) is given in Help
Screen in Section 3.3 of this manual, or can be viewed from the race controller by pressing
the <F6> key (Help Screen).
Keystroke sequences associated with functions are given in parentheses throughout this
manual. If a function key is listed by itself, such as <F1>, that means that the <F1> key alone
is used to access that function. If a function key is listed with another key, such as
<SHIFT><F1>, the <SHIFT> key must be held down while the <F1> key is momentarily
depressed.

The power button used to supply main power to the unit, is on the front of the C-44 race
controller. When the unit is connected to a proper power source and the switch is on, the
power LED will be illuminated.
When the system is powered up, the monitor should display the following screen (Refer
to Figure 1). Note: Some systems may be configured differently when powered up,
therefore each screen may show some subtle differences to the one shown here. It should,
however, be very close.
Entering Dial-ins
Entering dial-ins is just like entering numbers on a calculator. Just type in the number,
leading and trailing 0's are put in automatically. However, the decimal point must be
