Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Wipe the dartboard surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the electronic components or the board's finish.

2. Dart Point Replacement

Due to the nature of the game, plastic soft tip points may misshape or break. Regularly inspect dart points and replace them as needed. Unscrew the old point and screw in a new flexible soft tip point.

3. Impact Resistant Construction

The dartboard and its scoring segments are made from an impact-resistant material for durability. However, avoid excessive force or throwing objects other than soft tip darts at the board.

Troubleshooting

• No Display/Dartboard Not Powering On:
  • Check if the batteries are correctly installed with proper polarity.
  • Replace old batteries with new AA batteries.
  • Ensure the 'Game/Power' button is pressed firmly.
• Scoreboard Hiccups/Incorrect Scoring:
  • Ensure darts are fully embedded in the segment. Sometimes a dart may bounce out or not fully register.
  • Try turning the dartboard off and on again to reset the system.
  • Verify that the dart points are not excessively worn or broken, as this can affect registration.
• Darts Not Sticking:
  • Inspect the soft tip points for damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure you are using soft tip darts specifically designed for electronic dartboards.
