Digit panels have been simplified on the
outdoor LED scoreboards. They are held in
place on the scoreboard face by an offset
flange across the top and by three screws at
the bottom, as shown in
Figure 10 . (Very large digits may have
additional screws across the bottom.) Open
the scoreboard with care. Hold the digit
panel in place by putting hand pressure on it
while removing the screws, and carefully lift
it from the board, sliding it out and down.
