The balls and strikes will automatically return to zero when you advance past the
third ball or second strike. The outs will return to zero when advancing past the
second out. The inning will indicate “0” when advancing to inning 10 and show
the last digit for innings above 10.
To clear any item, press the CLR ITEM on the remote control, then press the item
you wish to clear. When cleared, the scores, balls, strikes, or outs will reset to 0
and the inning will reset to 1.
If the batteries are getting low, the scores will momentarily flash “LO” “BA” when
the scores or inning are changed. The batteries should be replaced soon when
this indication occurs to maintain reliable operation.
Radio System
The range of the remote control is over 500 feet in open field conditions (no
obstructions). However, obstructions such as fences and people, and outside
interference will reduce this range.
Radio dead spots (a spot where the scoreboard won’t respond to the remote) can
occur in some fields. This is normal. The usual solution is to step a few feet in
any direction away from that spot.
Batteries
The scoreboard uses 16 AA alkaline batteries which are included and pre-
installed in your unit. The expected life of these batteries under normal conditions
is 500 hours (200 2-1/2 hour games).
The unit has a low battery detection system that will flash “LO” “BA” when
changing the score or inning if the batteries are low. However, to prevent
inconvenience to the users, it is best to replace the batteries every one or two
seasons.
To replace the batteries in the scoreboard, the front panel must be removed.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws around the edge of the front
panel and lift out the front panel. The batteries are in two holders just below the
score digits. Observe the polarity markings in the holders when installing the new
batteries. Name brand batteries are recommended. Before reinstalling the front
panel, clean the inside of the panel with a soft cloth to remove any accumulated
