Scoreboard not picking up radio signal
If a scoreboard or shot timer is having difficulty locking onto the radio sig-
nal, try the following:
1. Make sure the control’s antenna is in the upright position, with an
unobstructed line of sight to the scoreboard.
2. Relocate the control closer to the scoreboard.
3. Shut off the control and scoreboards and/or shot timer power for 20
to 30 seconds, then turn them back on.
4. If the control is in SEL mode, switch the transmitter and receiver to a
different channel from the one currently being used. Be sure to turn
the scoreboard power off during this stage.
Or
Wait 20-30 seconds, and then turn the control back on.
5. Make sure the control is programmed for high power radio transmis-
sion, as instructed at
“H
IGH AND LOW POWER MODES
”

6. If there has been no response to any of these possible fixes, Fair-Play
recommends that you run the scoreboard with a conventional data
cable for the duration of your game until you have more time to deter-
mine the cause of the problem. If you decide to do this, be sure to set
the wireless SP-70’s channel switch (located on the back panel) to
position E, F, or 0; and the TRANSMIT mode switch to SEL. This will
turn the radio transmitter off and prevent possible damage to the
scoreboard’s processor.
Note: Channels 0, 14, and 15 disable the radio trans-
mitter on the SP-70 when the radio transmitter is in
SEL mode. Likewise, the receiver located in a wireless
scoreboard is disabled when the channel switch is set
to 0, E or F.
Note: If you have difficulty establishing a signal lock
on any display, switch ALL of your controls to high
power.
