COREBOARD NOT PICKING UP RADIO SIGNAL
If a scoreboard or shot timer is having difficulty locking onto the radio signal, try
the following:
1.
Make sure the control’s antenna is in the upright position, with an
unobstructed line of sight to the scoreboard.
2. Relocate the control closer to the scoreboard.
3. Shut off the control and scoreboards and/or shot timer power for 20 to 30
seconds, then turn them back on.
4. If the control is in SEL mode, switch the transmitter and receiver to a
different channel from the one currently being used. Be sure to turn the
scoreboard power off during this stage.
Or
Wait 20-30 seconds, and then turn the control back on.
Note: Channels 0, 14, and 15 disable the radio transmitter on the MP-70/50
when the radio transmitter is in SEL mode. Likewise the receiver located
in a wireless scoreboard is disabled when the channel switch is set to 0, E
or F.
5. Make sure the control is programmed for high power radio transmission,
Note: If you have difficulty establishing a signal lock on any display, switch ALL
of your controls to high power.
6. If there has been no response to any of these possible fixes, Fair-Play
recommends that you run the scoreboard with a conventional data cable
for the duration of your game until you have more time to determine the
cause of the problem. If you decide to do this, be sure to set the wireless
MP-
70/50’s channel switch (located on the back panel) to position E, F,
or 0; and the TRANSMIT mode switch to SEL. This will turn the radio
transmitter off and prevent possible damage to the scoreboard’s
processor.
