The "V" mark is at 6 degrees BTDC, and is meant for non-adjustable timing lights. So the following two ways are equivalent: (a) Set the light to 6 deg and use the "O" mark (b) Set the light to 0 and use the "V" mark. Which essentially corresponds to using your new adjustable timing light as a plain old dumb non-adjustable strobe, so why would you want to do that? Better yet, use the "O" mark and set it to 10 or 12 degrees... I was very pleased with the result.
