Gary Lu, of Absolute Fencing, asked me to send you a quick note regarding the 
new USFA leased scoring equipment.  So here is a quick cheat sheet about their 
features:

Uhlmann reels:  all of the Uhlmann reels have had the tape-down bar installed.

SG12 Scoring Machines:  These are upgrades of the SG12St which include penalty 
card indicators, but no DE round indicators.  The sound is rather minimal - 
given the noisy environments of most of the NACs, JO, and Summer Nationals, but 
the size of the LED panels should compensate for them.  Each machine is 
contained in a carrying case which also includes a power supply and a remote 
whose AAA batteries have been installed.  Currently, all the remotes are synced 
to the machines.

Synching the remotes to the machines is the same as on the SG12STs: depress and 
hold the sound and weapon choice buttons on the machine, and while pointing the 
remote at the machine, key any button on the remote.

Remote Button Functions:
                Grey Buttons:
                                Weapon Selection
                                Priority: The SG12's have this function
                Orange Buttons
                                Round + and Round -: do not function with the 
new SG12s
                                Reset +: increases the fencing time by 1.0 
minute
                                Reset - : decreases the fencing time by 1.0 
minute
                                Reset:  resets the fencing time
                                Pause:  starts 1.0 minute break time
                                Stop/Go:  controls the fencing time
                                Dec:  decreases the fencing time by 1.0 second
                                Inc:  increases the fencing time by 1.0 second
                Yellow and Red Buttons: cycle the penalty indicators
                Green Buttons: control the scoring indicators

Syncing the new remote to the new SG31 v.3:
                Plug the remote into the SG31 v.3 to sync the remote and to 
charge its batteries OR
                Find the menu window that indicates LEFT FENCER, point the 
remote at the IR detector, and press any button on the remote.  You should hear 
a brief tone, indicating that the remote has synced.

If any parts are needed to repair the leased scoring equipment, contact Gary Lu 
at Absolute Fencing's booth.  He will have a supply of the parts which 
frequently are needed.
