If there is a clock, the
settings appear in the
clock digits (Figure
13).
The first values are the
broadcast settings (“b1”), and
the second are the channel
settings (“C1”). These values
must match the settings within the console.
Note: If these settings do not appear, the radio receiver may need to be
repaired/replaced.
To make sure the console radio settings (Figure 14)
match the receiver in the scoreboard, refer to the
Radio Interference
If it has been determined that a nearby wireless scoreboard or other radio signal in the area is
interfering, the broadcast and channel settings of the radio receiver inside the scoreboard(s)
must be changed. Refer to the Gen V Radio Installation Manual
or the Gen VI
Radio Installation Manual
for more information.
1. To locate the radio receiver, simply look for the black antenna sticking out the front
of the scoreboard. Component location drawings also show the exact position where
the radio receiver will be mounted.
2. Open the access panel to which the receiver is
attached as described in Section 2.2.
3. The radio receiver has a plastic cover with a
window to view status indicators (Figure 15).
Note: While it is necessary for the scoreboard to
be powered on to check the indicators, always
disconnect scoreboard power before servicing.
4. Remove the four screws in each corner using a
#2 Philips screwdriver and lift off the cover.
5. The process of changing the radio settings
depends on the generation of the radio. Refer to the instructions below and Figure 16.
Gen V (blue label): Use a small flathead screwdriver to set the CHAN switch to
a new channel (1-8). Move the jumper wire on the J4 or J5 BCAST jacks to a new
broadcast group (1-4) as needed.
Gen VI (gray label): Use a small flathead screwdriver to set the CHAN and
BCAST switches to a new channel and broadcast group (1-8) as needed. Be sure
to always leave FUNC set to “1”.
6. Screw the cover back on and securely close the access panel.
7. Enter the correct sport code and new radio settings into the console to test the radio
control (refer to th
