Do the following:

1) Press OPTION-I/II *once*. The LCD will show [oPt 1].

2) Press the Ver/Set key to obtain the current rating. Your Novag Sapphire II
will assign you with 1400 ELO points (shown on the LCD as [rt 1400]) to start
with and your rating will be adjusted whilst you are playing games.
The Ver/Set key is located on top right of your Novag Sapphire II.

3) To exit the RATING function: Press the GO key.

4) To reset the RATING function to 1400 points: Press the CLEAR key.

5) Play any *rated* game against your Novag Sapphire II.

6) To rate a game: Press the key with the Pawn symbol. A game can only be rated
under the following conditions: your Novag Sapphire II must have resigned or
there must be a draw or mate condition, otherwise you will hear 3 beeps and the
[Error] sign will be displayed.

7) To offer a draw: Press the key with the Knight symbol. Your Novag Sapphire II
will only consider a draw based upon your current rating and score. You can only
claim a game as a draw position after 20 moves have been played. The LCD will
show [rEJECt] if a draw in not accepted.

8) Resign a game: Press the key with the Bishop symbol to ask your Novag
Sapphire II to rate this game as a losing game.

Make sure that there are batteries in your Novag Sapphire II even if it uses an
adapter connected any time otherwise you will lose the memory contens; part of
it contains information about your rating!

Hope this helps.
