Warning to Parents:

Please read instructions carefully. Not for use by children without adult supervision.

Any battery charger/transformer to be used with the board should be regularly examined for
potential hazards, such as damage to the cable or cord, plug, enclosure or other parts.
In the event of such damage, the board must not be used until the damage has been
properly repaired.

Important Notes

1. During shipping or in the course of normal play, it is possible for scoring segments of this

board to become temporarily jammed, resulting in a “frozen” board. If this occurs, the built-in
Self Diagnostic Function of the e-BOARD Computer will be activated automatically. Your
dartboard will run a self-test routine to determine which segment is stuck. An error message
will flash on the display together with the number for the “frozen” segment. Take the following
steps immediately when the error message appears.

a) Find the “frozen” segment according to the display.

b) Press firmly down on the “frozen” segment until it breaks free and the loose fit is restored.

Once the “frozen” segments are loosened, the error message should be gone and the
board will continue to operate normally.

2. This game is designed for use with 3/4" length soft-tip darts only! Never use metal tipped
darts or longer soft-tip darts on this dartboard! Metal tipped darts will seriously damage the
circuitry, the e-BOARD Computer and electronic operation of the dartboard.

3. Electronic and mechanical reaction time is required between shots. If two shots occur too
close together, pull out second dart and rethrow to properly record your score.

4. Use only the provided AC adapter. Using the wrong adapter may cause electrical shock
and damage to the unit

.

5. Do not use excessive force when throwing darts. Throwing a dart too hard will cause
frequent tip breakage and cause excessive wear on the board.

6. Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Disconnect before cleaning. Do not spray cleaners that
contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals, as they may damage the dartboard. Instead, we
suggest regular dusting with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth for more
vigorous cleaning.

Mounting (Physical Installation)

The dartboard should be hung on a wall stud, with the center of the bull’s-eye 68" (173 cm)
above the floor. Regulation throwing distance for soft-tip darts is 8', so be sure there are about
10 feet of open floor space in front of the board.
