THE ORIGINATOR OF ELECTRONIC DARTS: ARACHNID, INC.
The high technology electronic dart games we play today bear little resemblance to the
medieval versions that evolved from the pastime of the royal courts. Arachnid, Inc. invented the
state-of the-dart technology that brought the popular pub game into the home, in the process
earning a stellar reputation for quality and innovation, recognized today all over the world.
Your electronic soft-tip dart game is a precision engineered product manufactured with the
highest quality materials, and is designed to provide years of action-packed fun to players of all
skill levels and ages.
DART HISTORY
The first “dart” was most likely thrown by prehistoric man some 35,000 years ago. A sharpened
antler attached to a wooden shaft allowed hunters to kill an animal from a distance, even as it
ran. In one form or another, from spears, to arrows, to the present dart we use for games of skill,
the art of throwing a pointed shaft with accuracy has been a part of almost every culture.
Later in history, Henry VIII of England and Charles VI of France were both avid enthusiasts of
dart throwing games derived from warfare and archery contests.
The modern game evolved during the nineteenth century in English pubs. Often a barrel head
was used as the target, with the centrally located cork becoming the bull‟s-eye. The term “cork”
is still occasionally used today when referring to the bull‟s-eye.
At one time darts were considered a game of chance, and were actually illegal in England until
1908, when a Leeds innkeeper went to court to challenge the law. Fortunately he was able to
demonstrate to the court‟s satisfaction that darts were indeed a game of skill.
Between the two World Wars playing darts for fun and relaxation became more and more
popular in England. American servicemen stationed there in World War II often brought the
game home with them where it eventually became popular in the United States as well.
WARNING!
Electronic Dart Boards are designed to be used with Soft (Plastic) Tipped Darts.
DO NOT USE STEEL TIPPED DARTS or DARTS OVER 20 GRAMS TOTAL WEIGHT
Use of Steel Tipped Darts or Darts weighting more than 20 grams will damage
the electronic board and automatically voids the warranty.

For Customer Service Call 1-800-526-0451
Player 1‟s score is 20
Player 2‟s score is 50
Player 3‟s score is 30
Player 4‟s score is up. The first dart thrown hits the 20 –Player 1 gets bombed and goes
to zero. The second dart hits the 10 (score now 30) –Player 3 gets bombed and goes to
zero. The third dart hits a 20 (total score is 50) –Player 2 gets bombed and goes to zero.

round
L02 : The number of points that were of 301 also reduces that score.

G11 CUT THROAT CRICKET (Game option: L01, L02, L03)
Cut Throat Cricket is played the same as Cricket except when a player closes a number and
begins scoring, the scores are given to all opponents that do not have that number closed. The
winner is the first player that closes all the numbers and has the lowest or equal score.
L01 : hit & „open‟the numbers 15-20 and bull‟s-eye at any order

bull‟s-eye
L03 : hit & „open‟the bull‟s-eye first, then in order „open‟numbers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20
G12 SCRAM CRICKET
Scram Cricket is a variation of Cricket. The game consists of 2 rounds. In the first round, player
1 has to ‘close’15-20 an bull’s-eye, whilst player 2 attempts to get as many scores as he can by
hitting the numbers that are still open. Round 1 will be finished if all numbers have been closed.
For round 2, the reverse is practiced. The one with the most scores is the winner.
G13 DOUBLE ONLY CRICKET (Game option: L01, L02, L03)
Double Only Cricket is played the same as Cricket except that a double of each cricket number
must be hit before a player can go further with that number. Once a double is hit, that number is
opened. That double together with the other doubles, triples and singles of that number count.
For example, to start the 20‟s each player has to hit double 20 to open this number. Afterward, a
single 20 would close the number, or a double would close and score 20 points, similarly a triple
would close and score 40 points. It is impossible to close a number with one dart.
L01 : hit & „open‟the numbers 15-20 and bull‟s-eye at any order
L02 : hit & „open‟the numbers 20 first, then in order „open‟numbers 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 &
bull‟s-eye
L03 : hit & „open‟the bull‟s-eye first, then in order „open‟numbers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20
G14 ALL FIVES (Game option: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05)
Each round each player has to score a total divisible by 5, and every divisible „5‟counts one
point. For instance 2, 8, 5 with a total 15, player can get 3 points as 15 divided by 5 is three.
There is no point if:
a. The round (3 darts) total scores is not divisible by 5
b. Any dart is missed even though the sum of other darts is divisible by 5
The first player who gets scores of 51 or above will be the winner

Round 3 –14 Round 8 –Triple (any) Round 12 –Bullseye
Round 4 –Double (any) Round 9 –18 Round 13–Double Bullseye
Round 5 –15
Points are accumulated by any segment of the designated number for each round. For example:
In the first round, a player must hit 12. Single 12 = 12 points, Double 12 = 24 points, and Triple
12 = 36 points. In round 4 player can choose any double (all three darts can hit a different
double and score), and in round 8, player can choose any triple. If player misses the designated
number or area with all three darts in any round, the player‟s total score is cut in half. The winner
is the player with highest score.
G24 OVER (Game option: L01, L02, L03)
In this game, each player tries to get high score in 3 darts. Once the score is higher than the
highest score (Leader Score) that score will be regarded as “Leader Score”and the player will

TROUBLE SHOOTING
We are proud of being the originator of the electronic dart board, so we build our boards to be
rugged and durable. However, with the delicate electronics in our device, and with the high
usage the device may receive, there is a chance that a problem may eventually occur.
No Power
POOR OUTLET CONNECTION. Check the power cord to make sure that it is properly plugged
in. Check the circuit breaker (or fuse) in the home to verify that there is power to the electrical
outlet.
Devices will not score or no sound
Check to see if a segment is stuck. Also be sure that all buttons are not stuck.
Stuck Segment
If a segment is stuck, the text window will display a message just like “Error=03”to indicate
which segment is stuck.
03 : single segment #3
=03 : double 3 segment
≡03 : triple 3 segment
This is usually caused by a broken tip. A long tip that sticks out from the segment surface may
be pulled out with pliers. A short tip that is broken off flush with the segment surface can be
pushed through the hole into the device without damaging the electronics in the dart-head. Push
the tip with an object that is smaller in diameter than the tip.
Electrical storms, power line surges, rolling brown outs, broadcast
radio/TV transmitters:
Notice
Under extreme electrical interference conditions of these types, the dart game can show erratic
behavior and fail to continue to perform. To restore device to normal operation, disconnect all
power sources from the device unit. Unplug adapter and wait for 3 seconds. Reconnect power
sources.
Cleaning the Device
The Arachnid, Inc. dart board will provide many hours of fun if cared for properly. Do not use
spray cleaners, or cleaners that contain ammonia, acetone, or other harsh chemicals as they
may cause damage. Instead, we suggest regular dusting with a damp cloth. Use a mild
detergent and damp cloth for more vigorous cleansing. It is a good idea to first test cleaning
solutions on an inconspicuous area of the game. Note: Spilling liquids onto the game, exposure
to weather, or user abuse (such as dropping the game) can result in permanent damage, and
are not covered by the warranty.
