UNPACKING THE GAME

After unpacking the game, it is important to save the original box, all packing material, and the receipt. These items will be needed if it ever proves necessary to return the game for service.

MOUNTING

(PHYSICAL INSTALLATION)

One method for mounting the dartboard is available.

1. Use the two keyhole slots and mount the center of the dartboard following the illustration. The two screws are screwed into the wall until the screw head is 3/8″ away from the wall.
2. The dartboard is positioned so the two screw heads are inside the keyhole. Slide the dartboard down to secure. The head of the screw that is used must be larger than 5/16″ and smaller than 3/8″.

Wall Anchors

A wall with studs is the most common type of wall to mount the dartboard.

1. Locate a stud and use wood screws or sheet metal type screws to secure the dartboard.
2. If a stud cannot be located or is not in the proper location, use an anchor that is suitable for the type of wall.

Some common anchors are:

• Plastic – Drill a snug hole in drywall and push the anchor in up to the head. When the screw is screwed into the anchor, the plastic will expand, locking the anchor in place. Do not use on thin panelling.

• Toggle Bolt – Drill hole through wall. Hole must be large enough for the wings to pass through. Insert screw through the holes in the dartboard and thread the toggle wings just onto the screw. Fold the wings back and push through the hole until the wings spring open. Pull back on the screw to hold wings against the inside of the wall and tighten screw.

• Hollow wall anchor – Drill a snug hole through the wall. Tap anchor into the hole until the prongs on the underside of the head are seated securely into the wall. Turn screw in and apply pressure to keep the anchor head from turning. Tighten screw until resistance is felt. Do not over tighten. Turn screw out to remove. Anchor will stay and screw can be replaced. Other methods are available. Consult a hardware store if questions arise.

Mounting Using the Keyhole Slots

1. Choose a location that has at least 10 feet of open floor space in front of the board. Locate and use a wall stud for mounting whenever possible.
2. Determine the location for the dartboard. Place a mark on the wall 68 inches (172.7 cm) from the floor. This mark is the final position of the center of the dartboard (bullseye).
3. Locate studs and use wood screws or sheet metal screws to secure the dartboard if the mark is on the stud. The head of the screw must be larger than 5/16″ and smaller than 3/8″.
4. If the mark is not over a stud, use the mounting hardware that came with your dartboard.
5. Measure 7″ (17.7 cm) directly up from the bullseye mark and place a mark on the wall. Use a level to check that the 2 marks are vertical.
6. Use the top mark and measure out level 2 3/4″ (6.9 cm) to the left and right. Place a mark on the wall.
7. Drill pilot holes at the two marks. These are for the mounting screws.
8. If using wall anchors, follow the instructions under Wall Anchors on page 5.
9. Insert screws into anchors until a 1/4″ (6.5 mm) gap is left between the wall and the screw head.
10. Hold the dartboard so the two screw heads fit into the lower part of the keyholes. The dartboard should slide down 1/2-inch and the screw heads will hold it on the wall.
11. Screws can be tightened or loosened to provide a secure mounting.

Create the Toe Line

Place a toe line 96″ from the face of the board for the throwing distance. Adhesive tape or masking tape, 2 feet long by 2-1/2″ wide, may be used. GLD Products offers a Viper Throwing Line and a Dart Mat for this purpose. Refer to the parts order form at the back of this manual.

POWER INSTALLATION

• The dartboard is designed to be powered by two AA batteries. The battery compartment is located on the front of the dart board.
• Always install the correct size and grade of battery suitable for the intended use. Replace all batteries of a set at the same time, taking care not to mix old and new ones, or batteries of different types. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Ensure
• the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+and -).
• Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period of time. Remove used batteries promptly.
• For energy saving purposes, this dartboard is equipped with auto sleep and auto power off mode. If the dartboard is not being played, it will automatically go into sleep mode after 3 minutes. If it hasn’t been played for 30 minutes, it will automatically power off.

WARNING: Not for use by children without adult supervision. Darts are not toys and may cause injury if used improperly. Everyone must stand behind the dart thrower.

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.
   Error Code Malfunction
   E30 Stuck Bounce/Eliminate Button
   E31 Stuck Play/Next Button
   E33 Stuck Game Button
   E34 Stuck Player Button
   E35 Stuck Option Button
   Other buttons wont work Stuck Double/On/Off Button E(segment number) A segment is stuck Take the following steps immediately when the error message appears.

   • Find the “frozen” segment according to the display.
   • 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. 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.

5. Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Do not use spray cleaners that contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals, as they may damage the dartboard. Instead, we suggest regular dusting with a damp cloth. Make sure the game is unplugged and use a mild detergent and a damp cloth for more vigorous cleaning.

6. This game is for indoor use only.

Helpful Tip: To prevent dart tips from loosening, twist the dart to the right (clockwise) when pulling it from the board. This motion will make dart removal easier and will prolong the life of your dart tips.

• This game allows a player to challenge opponents to hit the targets of the players choice.
• The game begins with the single 6 segment as the target.
• Players must earn the chance to pick the next target for their opponent by making a hit on the single 6 target first. The first player to hit the single 6 segment will save a life and can then select the next target.
• To select the next target, throw a dart. That segment then becomes the target.
• In any turn if the player does not hit the target they loose one life.
• The dartboard will display “SEL” when a players next dart will become the next target.
• The e-BOARD Computer will display the target for the current turn.
• If a player hits the target with the first or second dart, the next dart then determines the next target and that players turn is over.
• If a player hits the target with the third dart their turn is over and the target stays the same. A life is not lost.
• If a player loses all their lives they are out of the game. The remaining players continue the game until one player is left with lives.

Playing the Game

To win: The last player with lives remaining is the winner.

• A leader can choose to challenge his own “leader’s score” but he will also lose a life if his score is lower than the leader’s score.
• The Cricket Display will show how many “Lives” each player has.
• After a player throws, if they do not have a new “leader’s score”, a life will be lost. If their score is higher than the “leader’s score”, it will become the new “leader’s score”.
• The current “leader’s score” is displayed on the dartboard between players turns. If you currently have the “leader’s score”, the dartboard will flash the word LEd when it switches to your turn.
