NOTE: If you are using the scoreboard outdoors, aim the display away from the sun for best
visibility.
5. Place the scoreboard in a desired location near your playing field. The best location is mid-court on the

of the keypad.

approximately 3 seconds. Each press and hold of this button will toggle between the low, mid, and

last between 1 to 2 weeks (depending on usage), we recommend charging your keypad the night before
each use of the scoreboard.
The charging indicator will light up orange to indicate the keypad is charging. The light will turn green
once the keypad is fully charged.
Plug keypad charger into 120VAC wall outlet
SECTION 4: PAIRING THE SCOREBOARD AND KEYPAD
1. Cycle the scoreboard power off and on (waiting 3
seconds before each turn-on) until the scoreboard is
displaying the keypad RF connection screen shown
below at right. Make certain only one scoreboard in
the vicinity is showing this display at any given time,
otherwise the pairing process will fail.

a beep). The scoreboardwill go through a process of reconnecting to the keypad and will respond
after a few seconds by displaying the radio channel number. The keypad will beep twice if the
connection is good, or 3 times if the connection failed. Repeat this step if necessary to establish a
connection.
3. After a coupleseconds the scoreboard will show a normal display and is then ready for action.
