The Nevco six court Tennis control system consists of one receiver and six hand-held controls. Each control can
post information on the scoreboard for the court it has been assigned to.

MPCX2 Receiver for use with outdoor x6xx
and indoor x7xx scoreboards.
MPCX2 Receiver for use with scoreboards
that pre-date x6xx outdoor and x7xx indoor
scoreboards. (Boards that have coax input
only)
NOTE: This version can also be used in addition (but
not simultaneous operation) to a W6 system for dual
operation by connecting the W6 receiver or wired
coax of the MPC-5/6 connection to the coax input of
the X2 receiver.

TENNIS QUICK START GUIDE
The Nevco six court tennis scoreboard system consists of six wireless hand held controls (one for each court)
and one scoreboard that displays the scores for all six courts, plus the total score. Each control can send
information to the scoreboard for its corresponding court for both teams for 3 sets of play and total score.
The Nevco single court tennis system operates the same way as the six court system. The main aspect is that the
single court controller must be set to court 1.
Any of the controls can be programmed to control any of the six courts, including court 1. Multiple controllers
can be set to the same court. The controller designated as court 1 is the only controller that can control the
brightness level or clear the whole scoreboard at once.
Note: Any controller can turn on the scoreboard, however when the court 1 control is turned OFF the
scoreboard is blanked. Please make sure that all other controllers are powered down as well in order to conserve
battery life.
Note: It is assumed that each control has been configured for a court and that the court 1 control has been linked
to the desired receiver(s). Both functions are explained in the setup guide that comes with a new control. One
control is set to “court 1” by default at the factory; however it can be set in the field from the OPTION menu if
needed. (See pages 8 and 9 for detailed instructions).
Turn the scoreboard power ON first. Wait approximately 10 seconds before turning the controls on and make
sure each controller is initialized before powering on the next controller. Verify the court that each control is
configured to operate.
Press The control will display a greeting while it establishes
communications with its receiver(s). (Up to 20 seconds).
Note: v01.00 for example, indicates the software version of
the control
The display will then show Total Score.

Options Menu
Several option settings are available to fine tune the scoreboard system to your needs. These settings are saved
in the control. They are remembered even if the control is turned OFF or the batteries removed. When a control
turns ON the scoreboard, these settings are sent to the scoreboard and are used to define how it operates. This
allows each coach or group to have their own control with its unique option choices, thus eliminating the need
to set up the options every time the scoreboard is used. For example, Brightness (Baseball –day time) (Soccer –
night time).
It is also possible to use more than one control to operate the scoreboard. For instance, the Time can be
controlled by one person while someone else operates the rest of the scoreboard with another control.
Standard Options
The options key can be used to access the following features. Each press of the options key moves you
to the next option screen.
Note: In this illustration the cursor indicates the default factory settings.

Multiple Receivers
Multiple receivers can be used on the same network. One example could be separate scoreboards for
the same game or in the case of basketball one receiver controls the scoreboard while other receiver(s)
control the shot clock(s).
