The Originator of Electronic Darts: Arachnid, Inc.
The high technology electronic dart games we play today bear little resemblance to the medieval versions that evolved from the pastime of the royal courts. Arachnid, Inc. invented the state-of- the-dart technology that brought the popular pub game into the home, in the process earning a stellar reputation for quality and innovation, recognized today all over the world.
Your electronic soft-tip dart game is a precision engineered product manufactured with the highest quality materials, and is designed to provide years of action-packed fun to players of all skill levels and ages.
We suggest you take the time to read through this manual before playing.
Dart History
The first “dart” was most likely thrown by prehistoric man some 35,000 years ago. A sharpened antler attached to a wooden shaft allowed hunters to kill an animal from a distance, even as it ran. In one form or another, from spears, to arrows, to the present dart we use for games of skill, the art of throwing a pointed shaft with accuracy has been a part of almost every culture.
Later in history, Henry VIII of England and Charles VI of France were both avid enthusiasts of dart throwing games derived from warfare and archery contests.
The modern game evolved during the nineteenth century in English pubs. Often a barrel head was used as the target, with the centrally located cork becoming the bull’s-eye. The term “cork” is still occasionally used today when referring to the bull’s-eye.
At one time darts were considered a game of chance, and were actually illegal in England until 1908, when a Leeds innkeeper went to court to challenge the law. Fortunately he was able to demonstrate to the court’s satisfaction that darts were indeed a game of skill.
Between the two World Wars playing darts for fun and relaxation became more and more popular in England. American servicemen stationed there in World War II often brought the game home with them where it eventually became popular in the United States as well.
Unpacking the Game
After unpacking the game, it is important to save the original box, all packaging, and receipts. These items will be needed if it ever proves necessary to return game to factory for service.

Mounting the Game
1.Choose a location to hang the board that is near an electrical outlet, and that has at least
10feet of open floor space in front of the board.
2.Locate a wall stud, and place a mark 76” (193.04cm) up from the floor along the stud (see illustration above). Place another mark 15 5/16” (38.89cm) below the first mark. Drill a small pilot hole into each reference mark, then screw in a # 10-16x1 3/4” long slotted truss-head mounting screw (provided) into each pilot hole until the screw head is protruding about 1/2” (12.7mm) from the wall.
3.Line up the slotted mounting holes on the back of the game with the screw heads, and then mount the game.
4.It may be necessary to adjust the screw until the board fits snugly against the wall. After the board is mounted, the bulls’-eye should be 68” (172.72cm) above the floor.
5.Place a toe line 97 1/2” (247.65cm) from the wall as a guide for throwing distance. In tournament play adhesive tape 2 feet long be 2 1/2 inches wide is used, but if it is not available, a strip of household masking tape will suffice.
6.The game is powered by an AC to DC adapter supplied with the game. To connect, insert the round barrel-type power plug into the lower left side of the dart board (as you face it) and the twoprong power adapter plug into an electrical outlet.
