System Preparation
Charging the Lithium Scoreboard battery
a.
Remove the battery from the scoreboard (see figure 3).
b.
Connect the charger to the battery.
c.
Plug the charger into a 115 volt ac outlet.
d.
Charging time will depend on battery condition. Usually a full charge is achieved in about 4 to 5 hrs.. The
charger will turn itself off when the battery is fully charged.
e.
An LED on the charger indicates the charging status. The following table shows the LED indications.

f.
A fully charged battery in good condition should operate the scoreboard for approximately 6 hrs.
g.
Extra battery packs are available for continuous use.
h.
The battery should be recharged after each use.
i.
The scoreboard will remember the FUNCTION options and the scoreboard data even with the battery
disconnected. The scoreboard data will be displayed when a charged battery is connected and the power
switched on.
j.
The scoreboard power switch is located on the back of the scoreboard near the battery. (See figure 3). The
switch should remain off when the scoreboard is not in use to conserve battery charge.
•
Never use the batteries with anything other than specifically designed equipment.
•
Always use the battery charger prescribed by Nevco LX0315SUT4SNNS.
•
Never heat or incinerate the battery.
•
Never impact, pierce or crush the battery.
•
Never disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains a circuit designed to
enhance safety. Damaging this circuit may cause overheating, fire or bursting.
•
Never charge a battery under high temperature conditions, such as near a fire or in the
direct sunlight. If the ambient temperature is too high, the protection circuit may be
actuated preventing further charging, or damage to the battery pack.
•
Never short-circuit the battery by connecting the positive and negative terminals with a
metal material. Do not store or carry the battery where it could come into contact with
metal objects such as a key chain or necklace.
•
Never allow the battery to get wet or be immersed in water.
•
Do not place the battery in a microwave oven or high pressure container.
•
Stop charging if the battery is not charged after the prescribed charge time.
•
If leakage of the electrolyte occurs, or if there is an offensive odor, immediately keep
the battery away from any source of fire or spark.
•
If you become aware of any abnormal phenomena, such as odor, discoloration, or
deformation, during use, while charging or when storing the battery, remove the
battery from the device or charger and stop using.
•
In the event the electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, flush thoroughly with
clean water, without rubbing. Consult with a physician immediately.
