Setup Instructions
The TEMI Indoor Basketball Hoop is designed for easy installation. All necessary tools and clear instructions are included in the package. Follow these steps to set up your basketball hoop:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the packing list are present.
- Attach the Backboard: Secure the rim and net assembly to the backboard according to the provided diagrams. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
- Install Door Hooks: Attach the over-the-door hooks to the top of the backboard. These hooks are engineered to fit most standard doors.
- Apply Padded Backboard Strips: The backboard features thick, shock-resistant sponge strips. Ensure these are properly positioned on the back of the backboard to reduce scratches on your door and minimize noise during play.
- Hang the Hoop: Simply hang the assembled basketball hoop over any common-sized door in your home, dormitory, or office. It can also be hung on a yard rail.
- Insert Batteries for Scoreboard: Locate the battery compartment on the electronic scoreboard. Insert the required batteries (not included) following the polarity indicators.
- Inflate Basketballs: Use the included pump (if provided) to inflate the two rubber basketballs to the recommended pressure.

Operating Instructions
Once assembled, your TEMI Indoor Basketball Hoop is ready for use. Enjoy a fun and interactive basketball experience with its electronic features.
- Power On: Ensure batteries are correctly installed in the electronic scoreboard. The scoreboard should automatically power on or have a power button to activate it.
- Automatic Scoring: The electronic scoreboard automatically detects when a basket is made and displays the score numerically. It also plays cheer sounds to enhance the game experience.
- Spring-Loaded Rim: The hoop features a break-away, spring-loaded rim that simulates a real basketball experience. This allows for dunks and reduces stress on the backboard and door. The rim can bend up to 60 degrees.
- Playing the Game: Use the included rubber basketballs to shoot hoops. The automatic scoring system will keep track of points.
- Storage: The over-the-door design makes it easy to move and store the hoop when not in use. Simply lift it off the door.

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life of your TEMI Indoor Basketball Hoop and ensure continued enjoyment.

- Check for Loose Parts: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
- Ball Inflation: Check the inflation of the rubber basketballs regularly. Re-inflate as needed to maintain optimal bounce and playability.
