DGT North American Chess Clock, dont know how it works, help please

i am not sure how to set my DGT chess clock to  40 moves and 110 minutes, does it automatically set with 40 moves? if not, how do you do it?

OK, I'm assuming you have a second time control after the 40 moves, otherwise the question doesn't make sense. I'm also not 100% sure since I've never used this kind of time control before but I think this is correct.

You'll want option 04 (if there is no delay) and set both timers to 1:50. When the display reads 2 you'll set your second, sudden death time control there. If you are using increment then option 10 and if delay, option 23 but set the 3rd time control to zero.

The clock will keep track of the number of moves but won't give you any kind of notification that 40 moves haven't been made by the time control. What will happen is that the time will keep ticking down and if more than 40 moves have been made it will just add the secondary time control when the first set time runs out.

It is up to the players, as it should be according to both USCF and FIDE rules, to claim a time forfeit if the appropriate number of moves have't been made by the end of the first time control. The score sheets are used to verify that.

I never understood why delay isn't mandatory in USCF.

Delay is the standard, just not required. Has been for a couple of years at least.

People like diferent styles and the rules give options for TDs/organizers to have a variety of events. In my general area (within driving distance) there are some TDs that prefer G90,+30 for their events. Most others are delay 5 on most regular rated time controls.

ok so i have one too and basically you have to find one of the modes. you have to do the one with manual mode and set it. then you basically edit the times and it works. too lazy to take it out right now xD

why, do you have anotehr tournament?

is there a 10:00 option?
