SECTION 4: CHARGING THE WIRELESS KEYPAD
The wireless keypad contains a rechargeable battery. While the charge of the
keypad battery will typically 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 5: PAIRING THE KEYPAD AND SCOREBOARD
1. Cycle the power on the timer repeatedly until the timer shows the display seen
below:
RF connection screen (T-240 timer shown) (T-240 timer shown)
NOTE:
If the wireless keypad was previously paired to a timer, you must first clear the keypad of any
previous timer connection data to allow it to connect to the timer again. To clear the keypad’s
previous connection information, press and hold the and buttons
simultaneously until the keypad status light blinks 5 times.
2. Press and hold the button for up to 8 seconds (until the keypad beeps) to
initiate a connection between your keypad remote and the timer. After several
seconds the timer will briefly display the radio channel followed by program mode
PR 1. The connection process may take a couple attempts for a successful
connection, depending on environmental noise.
