Setup / Mounting Instructions

Choose a location to hang the dartboard where there is about 10 feet of open space in front
of the board. The “toe-line” should be 7’ 9 1/4” from the face of the dartboard. Since this
dartboard is powered with an AC adapter, you may want to mount it close to an electric
outlet for convenience.

Mount the dart board into the screw receivers of the cabinet using the screws provided.

The mounting brackets on this cabinet set are 16” apart so it can be mounted securely on
wall studs in your home. Locate a wall stud and place a mark 84.5” from the floor. Measure
16” from your first mark (staying level with the first mark) and place the second mark on the
wall, which should be over another wall stud (refer to diagram on next page).

Screw 2 mounting screws in the center of the studs using the marks you made as guides.
Be sure the screws are level to ensure an accurate playing surface. If not mounting into
studs, be sure to use drywall anchors or other securing hardware appropriate to the wall you
are using. This dartboard cabinet is heavy and it is highly recommended that you mount it
to wall studs.

Mount the cabinet on the wall by lining up the hang brackets on the back of the cabinet with
the screws (see diagram below). It may be necessary to adjust the screws until the board
fits snugly against the wall.

Titan BTX Electronic Dartboard _ 6

This dartboard utilizes the Halex exclusive state-of-the-art SofTech target playing
surface. The SofTech surface plays and feels just like the natural bristle sisal of a
traditional dartboard with the added benefit of electronic scoring. Our SofTech
target provides a smooth quiet dart playing experience - the way the sport was
meant to be played! With this Silent Shot™ Feature, there are no more
unpleasant crashing sounds from darts making impact on plastic targets. SofTech
boards perform like no other electronic dartboard. There are no small holes in the
SofTech target surface, darts have the maximum amount of surface area to strike
upon. This minimizes the chances of deflected darts and bounce outs. We hope
that you find your darting experience more enjoyable with SofTech.

Please note that SofTech dartboards are intended for use with
Soft Tip Darts Only!

Because of the durable SofTech surface, players have the
option to use heavier darts than used on standard electronic dartboards. (Halex
standard electronic dartboards recommend use of darts less than 18 grams.)
However, SofTech dartboards can be used with darts up to 22 grams for more
realistic play.

Use of Steel tip darts can permanently damage the dartboard’s target web and
other dart board components and will void your warranty. Please look for our line
of BristleTech™ products that allow for steel tip electronic dart play.

All SofTech dartboards come with unique spare SofTech style tips. Although any
type of Soft tip will work with SoftTech dartboards, it is highly recommended that
SofTech dart tips be used for maximum performance. SofTech tips are available
directly from Regent Sports and can be found on the spare part list at the back of
this manual.

Caring for your Electronic Dartboard

1. Never use metal tipped darts on this dartboard. Metal tipped darts will seriously

damage the circuitry and electronic operation of this dartboard.

2. Do not use excessive force when throwing darts. Throwing darts too hard will

cause frequent tip breakage and cause excess wear on the board.

3. Turn darts clockwise as you pull them from the board. This makes it easier to

remove darts and extends the life of the tips.

4. If you need to replace your AC adapter, use only a genuine Halex AC adapter

(available directly from Halex) for this dartboard. Use of a non-Halex AC adapter
may cause electrical shock, fire, and damage to the electronic circuits and will void your
warranty

5. Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Do not use spray cleaners, cleaners that

contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals, as they may cause damage.

External Speaker Jack

This dartboard is equipped to handle external speakers for premium sound. The line-out
jack is located on the right side of the dartboard to the right of the LED display. Only
speakers with power booster will work with this dartboard. If the speakers operate on their
own power (run on AC power or batteries), they will be compatible.

Game Rules

The Titan BTX electronic dartboard is loaded with games and options. The rules for each
game are detailed below in the order they appear on the LED display when paging through
the games. An illustration of the LED displays is indicated next to the game description for
your reference. Please note the characters may appear slightly different than illustrated
here.

301

This popular tournament and pub game is played by subtracting each dart from the starting
total until the player reaches exactly 0 (zero). If a player goes past zero it is considered a
“Bust” and the score returns to where it was at the start of that round. For example, if a
player needs a 32 to finish the game and he/she hits a 20, 8, and 10 (totals 38), the score
goes back to 32 for the next round.

In playing the game, the double in / double out option can be chosen (double out is the most
widely used option). Simply press the “DOUBLE” button to change this setting. LED
indicators will display your current setting:

• Double In - A double must be hit before points are subtracted from the total.
In other words, a player’s scoring does not begin until a double is hit.

• Double Out - A double must be hit to end the game. This means that an
even number is necessary to finish the game.

• Double In and Double Out - A double is required to start and end scoring
of the game by each player.

• Master Out - A double or triple is required to finish the game.

Dart-Out Feature (“01” games only)

This electronic dartboard has a special “Dart Out” feature. When a player requires less
than 160 to reach zero, the estimate feature becomes active. The player can press the
DART OUT button to view the darts necessary to throw to finish the game (reach zero
exactly). Doubles and triples are indicated with 2 or 3 lines to the left of each number
respectively.

Adjustable Difficulty Settings for 301 include 401, 501, 601, 701, 801, and 901. To

change to these more difficult settings, simply press the SELECT button. Each option is
played exactly as outlined for 301 with the exception of the starting total; 401 has starting
total of 401 points; 501 has starting total of 501 points and so on up to 901.
