Safety and handling

IMPORTANT: Failure to apply these instructions may result in damage to your Scorepad. Before using the Scorepad, please read all information on safety and handling.

Important information on safety
USE
Handle the Scorepad carefully. It is built in plastic (unit case) and glass (touch screen) and contains sensitive electronic components. The Scorepad may be damaged if dropped, burnt, punctured, crushed or brought into contact with liquids. Never use a damaged Scorepad: for instance, if it has a cracked screen, as this may cause injury.

CHARGING AND POWER SUPPLY
Charge the Scorepad with the mains adapter supplied. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging in very humid conditions may cause fire, electrocution, injury, or damage to the product or other property. When the BODET mains adapter is powering or charging the Scorepad, make sure the connector is securely fitted into the adapter before plugging it into a mains outlet (green indicator LED when charging).

Important information on handling
CLEANING
Immediately clean the Scorepad if it comes into contact with a substance likely to stain or damage the touch screen. Use a wipe suitable for computer screens. Prevent any liquids from penetrating the device. Do not use cleaning products or compressed air. We recommend that the Scorepad is thoroughly cleaned after each use to prevent each user being infected with the coronavirus (COVID-19).

USING CONNECTORS AND KEYS
Never force a connector into a port and never depress a key with excessive pressure: doing so may cause damage not covered by the warranty. If you have trouble seating the connector in the port, this is probably because the connector does not match the port. Check for an obstruction and make sure the connector matches the port format.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The Scorepad is designed to operate at ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to +40°C. The Scorepad
may be damaged and its battery life shortened if used or stored out of this temperature range. Avoid exposing the Scorepad to sudden changes in temperature or humidity. During use or while charging the battery, it is normal for the Scorepad to heat up.

This Lithium-ion battery is installed exclusively by our technical staff:

in-factory for new consoles.
on consoles in service: our customer support team installs and tests the device for correct operation.

Note: The standard battery supplies a power reserve for continuous console operation of approx. 15 minutes. This battery is therefore not designed to power the Scorepad for the full duration of a match.

START/STOP HAND SWITCH
The Start/Stop hand switch connects to the Scorepad via the RJ12 port. It is used to start and stop the stopwatch.
