Choosing a site for the scoreboard
a.
The scoreboard is constructed of durable materials; Nevco recommends a location that will minimize the
chance of physical damage.
b.
The scoreboard can stand alone with the integrated fold out stand for easy setup on the ground, or it can be
hung on a fence.
c.
For maximum visibility locate the scoreboard to minimize sun glare during game time.
d.
The operator needs to be able to see and read the digits on the scoreboard.
e.
The range will vary depending on conditions. The wireless control range is 0 to 250 feet. Greater range can
be achieved by maintaining a clear line of sight from the control to the scoreboard.
Control Power
a.
The control operates on two 1.5 volt AA batteries. Heavy Duty Alkaline batteries are recommended.
b.
The batteries are located beneath a sliding panel on the back of the control. Be sure to observe polarity as
marked inside the battery compartment.
c.
There is no power on switch on the control. Power is consumed only while a key is depressed to maximize
battery life. A set of fresh batteries can be expected to last a year.
d.
An LED on the control blinks to acknowledge each key press. The color of this LED indicates the battery
condition. When the LED is green the batteries are good. When the LED is red battery power is limited and
the batteries will need to be replaced soon.
