1. Introduction

Bodet Sport provides various types of scoreboards (indoor, outdoor, damp environments, etc.)

congurable for a wide range of sports. These scoreboard ranges are controlled by a single Scorepad
console featuring a keyboard and touch screen to facilitate operation.

Options and accessories are provided for use with the Scorepad console:

- 4-hour battery extension

- Start/Stop hand switch

- Possession console

IMPORTANT: This manual describes all features of the console. However, depending on your

conguration, some features, sports or options will not be available.

Installation

Please refer to the installation manual matching your Scorepad console.

Packing list

your Scorepad version:

2. Safety and handling

IMPORTANT: Failure to apply these instructions may result in damage to your Scorepad. Before using

the Scorepad, please read all information on safety and handling.

Important information on safety

USE

Handle the Scorepad carefully. It is built in plastic (unit case) and glass (touch screen) and contains
sensitive electronic components. The Scorepad may be damaged if dropped, burnt, punctured, crushed
or brought into contact with liquids. Never use a damaged Scorepad: for instance, if it has a cracked
screen, as this may cause injury.

CHARGING AND POWER SUPPLY

Charge the Scorepad with the mains adapter supplied. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging
in very humid conditions may cause re, electrocution, injury, or damage to the product or other property.
When the BODET mains adapter is powering or charging the Scorepad, make sure the connector is
securely tted into the adapter before plugging it into a mains outlet (green indicator LED when charging).

Important information on handling

CLEANING

Immediately clean the Scorepad if it comes into contact with a substance likely to stain or damage the
touch screen. Use a wipe suitable for computer screens. Prevent any liquids from penetrating the device.

Do not use cleaning products or compressed air.

USING CONNECTORS AND KEYS

Never force a connector into a port and never depress a key with excessive pressure: doing so may
cause damage not covered by the warranty. If you have trouble seating the connector in the port, this is
probably because the connector does not match the port. Check for an obstruction and make sure the

connector matches the port format.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

The Scorepad is designed to operate at ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to +40°C. The Scorepad

may be damaged and its battery life shortened if used or stored out of this temperature range. Avoid
exposing the Scorepad to sudden changes in temperature or humidity. During use or while charging the
battery, it is normal for the Scorepad to heat up.

BATTERY EXTENSION

The battery extension provides extra runtime for the Scorepad in the event of a mains power-out (up to
4 hours) so that the Scorepad can remain in service for the duration of the match.

This Lithium-ion battery is installed exclusively by our technical staff:

- in-factory for new consoles.

- on consoles in service: our customer support team installs and tests the device for correct
operation.

Note: The standard battery supplies a power reserve for continuous console operation of
approx. 15 minutes. This battery is therefore not designed to power the Scorepad for the full
duration of a match.

START/STOP HAND SWITCH

The Start/Stop hand switch connects to the Scorepad via the RJ12

port. It is used to start and stop the stopwatch.

POSSESSION CONSOLE

The possession console is used with the possession digit displays (Basketball or Water Polo).

This console connects to the Scorepad via the RJ12 port.
