UNPACKING THE GAME
After unpacking the game, it is important to save the original box, all packing material, and
the receipt. These items will be needed if it ever proves necessary to return the game for
service.
MOUNTING (PHYSICAL INSTALLATION)
Two methods for mounting the dartboard are available.
1. Use the keyhole slots on the backside of the dartboard. Follow the illustration and mount
the dartboard. The two screws are screwed into the wall until the screw head is 3/8"
away from the wall. The dartboard is positioned so the two screw heads are inside the
keyhole. Slide the dartboard down to secure. The head of the screw that is used must
be larger than 1/4" and smaller than 3/8".
2. Four equally spaced holes are accessible from the front to drive in screws. With the
dartboard held in place, four screws are driven in from the front, through the existing
holes. Use 1/8" diameter screws. The head of the screw must t inside the pocket.
Wall Anchors
A wall with studs is the most common type of wall to mount the dartboard.
1. Locate a stud and use wood screws or sheet metal type screws to secure the dartboard.
2. If a stud cannot be located or is not in the proper location, use an anchor that is suitable
for the type of wall.
Some common anchors are:
Plastic - Drill a snug hole in drywall and push the anchor in up
to the head. When the screw is screwed into the anchor, the
plastic will expand, locking the anchor in place. Do not use on
thin panelling.
Toggle Bolt - Drill hole through wall. Hole must be large
enough for the wings to pass through. Insert screw through the
holes in the dartboard and thread the toggle wings just onto
the screw. Fold the wings back and push through the hole until
the wings spring open. Pull back on the screw to hold wings
against the inside of the wall and tighten screw.
Hollow wall anchor - Drill a snug hole through the wall. Tap
anchor into the hole until the prongs on the underside of the
head are seated securely into the wall. Turn screw in and
apply pressure to keep the anchor head from turning. Tighten
screw until resistance is felt. Do not over tighten. Turn screw
out to remove. Anchor will stay and screw can be replaced.
Other methods are available. Consult a hardware store if questions arise.

Mounting Using the Keyhole Slots
Refer to the illustrations on the following pages.
1. Choose a location that is near an electrical outlet and has at least 10 feet of open oor
space in front of the board. Locate and use a wall stud for mounting whenever possible.
2. Locate studs and use wood screws or sheet metal screws to secure the dartboard if the
mark is on the stud. The head of the screw must be smaller than 3/8" and larger than 1/4".
3. Determine the location for the dartboard. Place a mark on the wall 68 inches (172.7 cm)
from the oor. This mark is the nal position of the center of the dartboard (bullseye).
4. If the mark is not over a stud, use the mounting hardware that came with your
dartboard.
5. Measure 8-5/8" (21.9 cm) directly up from the bullseye mark and place a mark on the
wall. Then measure down 8-5/8" (21.9 cm) from the bullseye mark and place a mark on
the wall. Use a level to check that all marks are vertical.
6. Drill pilot holes at the two marks. These are for the mounting screws.
7. If using wall anchors, follow the instructions under Wall Anchors on page 5.
8. Insert screws into anchors until a 1/4" (6.5 mm) gap is left between the wall and the
screw head.
9. Hold the dartboard so the two screw heads t into the lower part of the keyholes. The
dartboard should slide down 1/2 inch and the screw heads will hold it on the wall.
10.Screws can be tightened or loosened to provide a secure mounting.
Mounting Using the Four Holes From the Front
Refer to the illustrations on the following pages.
1. Choose a location that is near an electrical outlet and has at least 10 feet of open oor
space in front of the board. Locate and use a wall stud for mounting whenever possible.
2. Two people are needed for this step. Hold board on the wall. Position center of bullseye
68" from the oor. Level the board. Hold in place.
3. Locate the four mounting holes on the front of the board. Use a marker or nail to mark
the position of the board through the four mounting holes onto the wall. Remove the
board.
4. Drill four pilot holes on the marks created in Step 3.
5. If using plastic anchors: drill the holes so the anchors t snugly. Push anchors into
place.
6. Line up dartboard over anchors. Screw board into place. The screws will expand the
anchors.

Create the Toe Line
Place a toe line 96" from the face of the board for the throwing distance. Adhesive tape or
masking tape, 2' long by 2-1/2" wide, may be used. GLD products offers a Viper Throwing
Line and a Dart Mat for this purpose. Refer to the parts order form (page 55) at the back of
this manual.

POWER INSTALLATION
The dartboard is designed to be powered by 3 AA batteries (not provided) or by an AC to
5V DC, 1000 milliamp (minimum) adapter, with the DC plug polarity congured as positive
(+) outside, and negative (-) center. To connect the adapter, plug the DC plug into the DC
power jack on the dartboard and the AC plug into an electrical outlet.
• Always install the correct size and grade of battery suitable for the intended use.
• Replace all batteries of a set at the same time, taking care not to mix old and new
ones, or batteries of different types.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation.
• Ensure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+and -).
• Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period
of time.
• Remove used batteries promptly.
If batteries are installed when the external power supply is plugged in, the dartboard turns
off. To turn the dartboard back on, remove the batteries and the power cord. Plug either the
power cord OR the batteries into the dartboard.
CAUTION: The power adapter is not a battery charging device.
Do not plug in the power adapter when the dartboard is
turned on.
Remove all the batteries before plugging in the power
supply.
1. The board is not intended for children under the age of 12 years old.
2. The board must only be used with the recommended transformer.
3. The transformer is not a toy.
4. Disconnect the dartboard from the transformer before cleaning.

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. During shipping or in the course of normal play, it is possible for scoring segments of this
board to become temporarily jammed, resulting in a “frozen” board. If this occurs, the built-
in Self Diagnostic Function of the e-BOARD Computer will be activated automatically.
Your dartboard will run a self-test routine to determine which segment is stuck. An error
message will ash on the display together with the number for the “Frozen” segment.

a. Find the “frozen” segment according to the display.
b. Press rmly down on the “frozen” segment until it breaks free and the loose t is
restored. Once the “frozen” segments are loosened, the error message should be
gone and the board will continue to operate normally.
2. This game is designed for use with 1" maximum length soft-tip darts only! Never use metal
tipped darts or longer soft-tip darts on this dartboard! Metal tipped darts will seriously
damage the circuitry, the e-BOARD computer, and electronic operation of the dartboard.
3. Electronic and mechanical reaction time is required between shots. If two shots occur
too close together, pull out second dart and rethrow to properly record your score.
4. If using an AC adapter, it must be 5V DC 1000 milliamp. The plug polarity is congured
as positive (+) outside, and negative (-) center. Using the wrong adapter may cause
electrical shock and damage to the unit.
5. Do not use excessive force when throwing darts. Throwing a dart too hard will cause
frequent tip breakage and cause excessive wear on the board.
6. Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Do not use spray cleaners that contain ammonia or
other harsh chemicals, as they may damage the dartboard. Instead, we suggest regular
dusting with a damp cloth. Make sure the game is unplugged and use a mild detergent
and a damp cloth for more vigorous cleaning.
