dust. Use caution when tightening the screws when re-installing the front panel,
as they can be stripped by overtightening.
The remote control uses a 9 volt alkaline battery which is also included and pre-
installed in your unit. The expected life of this battery under normal
circumstances is over 5 years. Make sure to store the remote control in a place
where the buttons are not depressed, for this will drain the battery in a few days.
The battery is accessed by sliding the bottom part of the back (the part with the
FCC label) down. Be sure to observe the polarity indication when installing the
battery.
Troubleshooting
The remote control doesn’t work or range is limited.
1. Make sure that the battery in the remote hasn’t been drained by
storing it with the buttons pressed. Try a new battery in the remote
control.
2. There could be radio interference at this field. The most common
source for interference is a cable TV line nearby that is “leaking” its signal
into the air. It is illegal for cable signals to “leak” into the air. If there are
nearby cable TV lines, call the cable company and ask them to check
them for signal leakage.
3. If there are a few specific areas, typically two feet in diameter, where
the remote control won’t work, this is a normal and unavoidable condition
in certain fields. It is caused by signal reflections off of nearby metal
objects. When this occurs, simply step a few feet away from the spot.
There are missing segments in the score or inning digits, or some dots
aren’t flipping.
1. The batteries in the scoreboard could be low. Try installing a new set
of batteries.
2. There could be something mechanically interfering with the motion of
the segment or dot. Remove the front cover of the scoreboard and check
