Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean the dartboard, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the electronic components and playing surface.
2. Dart Tip Replacement
Soft-tip darts are designed to be durable, but tips can wear down or break over time. Replace damaged or worn tips promptly using the included spare tips. Simply unscrew the old tip and screw in a new one. Ensure tips are securely fastened before playing.
3. Storage
When not in use, store the dartboard in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If using batteries, remove them if the dartboard will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
