GRANBOARD 3s Smart Dartboard User Manual

Introduction

The GRANBOARD 3s is an advanced smart dartboard designed for an interactive darts experience. It connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet, offering online play, various game modes, and dynamic LED lighting effects. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining your dartboard to ensure optimal performance and enjoyment.

Setup

1. Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Carefully unpack all components from the packaging. Ensure the dartboard and all included accessories are present and free from any visible damage before proceeding with installation.

2. Power Supply

The GRANBOARD 3s requires a stable power supply for optimal performance, especially for the integrated LED lighting features. Connect the dartboard using the provided micro USB cable. Important Note: A suitable USB power adapter (not always included) with the correct wattage (e.g., 1A or 1.5A) is crucial. Using an incorrect or underpowered adapter can lead to unstable Bluetooth connectivity and reduced LED functionality.

3. App Installation

Download the official GRANBOARD app from your device's app store. The app is free and provides access to all game modes and features for your dartboard.

• Search for "GRANBOARD" in the iOS App Store (for Apple devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
• Install the application on your smartphone or tablet.

4. Mounting the Dartboard

Mount the dartboard securely to a sturdy wall at the standard height (1.73 meters from the floor to the center of the bullseye). Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the dartboard. While the board is designed for stability, some users find that adding a bottom anchor point can further reduce movement and flexing when removing darts, enhancing the overall playing experience.

4. LED Lighting Effects

The GRANBOARD 3s features integrated LED lighting that dynamically enhances the gaming experience.

The board also supports integration with smart bulbs (e.g., Philips Hue) to create an even more immersive and synchronized lighting environment in your playing area.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To clean the dartboard surface, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the electronic components or the board's finish.

2. Dart Weight Recommendation

For optimal performance, accuracy, and to ensure the longevity of the dartboard's segments, it is recommended to use soft-tip darts with a maximum weight of 18 grams.

Troubleshooting

1. Bluetooth Connectivity Issues

• Power Adapter: Ensure you are using a compatible USB power adapter with sufficient wattage (e.g., 1A or 1.5A). An underpowered adapter is a common cause of unstable Bluetooth connections.
• Restart Devices: Try turning the dartboard off and on again, and restart the GRANBOARD app on your smart device.
• Device Proximity: Ensure your smartphone or tablet is within close range of the dartboard (typically within 10 meters) and there are no major obstructions.
• Interference: Minimize potential interference from other Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi signals, or large electronic appliances.

2. Darts Not Registering / Hard to Pull Out

• Dart Tips: Inspect your dart tips for damage or excessive wear. Replace them if necessary to ensure proper penetration and score registration.
• Board Flex: If darts are consistently hard to pull out and the board flexes significantly, consider reinforcing the bottom mounting point to provide additional stability and reduce movement.

3. LED Lights Not Working

• Power Source: Ensure the dartboard is connected to a micro USB power source. Some LED effects may not function or may be dimmed when operating on battery power alone.
• App Settings: Check the LED settings within the GRANBOARD app to ensure they are enabled and configured as desired.
