The CED7000 shot-detecting microphone is software designed and factory preset at a mid level
range (4) that provides accurate function under most normal types of outdoor conditions. How-
ever, due to various changes in range conditions, climates, and locations, it is strongly recom-
mended to test your timer on the range it is to be used, prior to competition use, to insure it is
properly set. This will eliminate any chance of recording errors!
Always hold the timer with the front panel facing the Shooter! The microphone is located on
the upper front panel, positioned under the display screen and should have direct, clear line-
of-sight to the Shooter. In cases where a person is shooting around walls, or other objects, the
timer should be held in a manner that provides unobstructed view to the person shooting. The
Range Ofcial should be careful not to cover the microphone, or allow ejected cases to hit the
timer during recording. Ideally, the timer should be within six feet of the person ring the shot
to be recorded.
