Caring for your Electr onic Dartboar d

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

frequent tip breakage and cause excess wear on the board.
Turn darts clockwise as you pull them from the board. This makes it easier to

remove darts and extends the life of the tips.

Remove the batteries when not in use for prolonged periods of time
Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Do not use spray cleaners, or cleaners that

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