The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword,
Excalibur, from which we take our company name. With this
unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished.
Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the
magical secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s court
wizard, sometimes our patented technology
may make it seem as if we could.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your ABC Wide World of Sports Pro-Basketball handheld game requires two
AA batteries, not included. To install the batteries, carefully turn the game over
so that the unit is face-down on a soft surface. Find the battery compartment on
the back of the unit. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. Lift
off the battery compartment lid. Install the batteries, making sure to match polarity (+ and -) to the diagram in the compartment. Place the tab of the battery compartment lid in its slot and close the compartment door. Replace the screw and
tighten.
Please Note: For best results, always use alkaline batteries. Be sure to check
the expiration date because fresh batteries will ensure uninterrupted usage/enjoyment of the product. Remove the batteries if the product will not be used for an
extended period. If the product does not perform as expected, check for proper
battery charge and correct battery installation, or try a fresh set of batteries.
