Service manual

This section will assist you in identifying any scoreboard problems by

learning to recognize the specific part of the scoreboard that is malfunc-

tioning. Before calling the factory, attempt to solve the problem using the

following suggestions. If you do call the factory and are able to describe the

problem accurately, it will help us correct your problem quickly.

To determine what part of your scoreboard is not working, begin by deter-

mining what is working. For example, does the scoreboard work even

though the sports tunes are inoperative? Does the microphone work even

though the sports tunes are inoperative? When trouble shooting, view the

scoreboard as several smaller components not as one large unit. The key to

solving a problem is to isolate which specific component has failed.

The following are problems you might encounter if your scoreboard system

fails to operate properly, followed by which area of the manual discusses

that problem. Start your troubleshooting with the component that appears

to be the source of the scoreboard malfunction.

If you are confused and do not know where to begin, start with “What To

Do If ‘Nothing’ Works”.

Note: Always access your scoreboard module from the front of the

unit by sliding the weather shield to expose the malfunctioning

component. Never

attempt to access your scoreboard through the

rear panel.

Make sure your data cable jack is plugged into the right-side of your

console labeled “DATA CABLE” and not into the left-side of the console

labeled “MICROPHONE”.
