SECTION 1: SCOREBOARD SETUP

1. If you are using the scoreboard without an AC adapter, remove/open the battery cover(s) located on the rear of the scoreboard and install six AA-size alkaline batteries (SNT-130 series) or 8 C-cell alkaline batteries (SNT-230 series). Re-attach/close the battery cover(s).

2. Extend the support stand/legs as shown below:

SNT-130 series support legs

SNT-230 series support stand

3. Install two AAA-size batteries (not included) in the keypad as described in Section 11.

4. Use the optional AC adapter if operating the scoreboard near an electrical outlet to conserve batteries.

NOTE: If you are using the scoreboard outdoors, aim the display away from the sun for best visibility.

5. Place the scoreboard in a desired location near your playing field. The best location is mid-court on the

sidelines. This will provide the best view of the display. It can also be placed in the corner of the playing field, as long as everyone in the opposite corner of the field can view it and is within radio range of the keypad.

6. Turn the scoreboard on using the power switch

located on the back of the scoreboard. If the scoreboard is displaying the message shown at

right, press and hold the

button on the keypad for up to 10 seconds to establish communications between the scoreboard and keypad. The keypad will beep twice if the connection is good, or 3 times if the connection failed. Repeat this step if necessary to establish a connection. Proceed to Step 7

(SNT-130MP SHOWN)

below when the connection is comp lete.

7. Select the display bri ghtn ess by pressi ng a nd hol ding th e button for approximately 3 sec onds . Each press and hold of this button will toggle between the low, mid, and high brightness levels.

8. Test the operation of your scoreboard to verify performance over the distance between the keypad and scoreboard prior to the start of your game. Move the scoreboard closer to the keypad if it does not respond as expected.

9. You are now ready to use your scoreboard. Proceed to Section 2 for using the various operating modes. Additional modes of the SNT-130MP/230MP scoreboard are detailed in Section 3.

The default configuration of th e Tournament Mode is as follows:

 Round 1 is a 3-minute timed round  Round 2 is a 2-minute timed round  Round 3 is a sudden-death round

To select the Tournament Mode (Mode 3) and to set up the times of the rounds, simply follow these steps:
