Immediately after the control console power cord is plugged into a 120 VAC source, the console LCD display will read:

SCOREBOARD MMCII

After a few seconds the display will read:
The scoreboard will display:
GUEST SCORE – 0
GUEST PITCH COUNT – 0
INNING – 0
HOME SCORE – 0
HOME PITCH COUNT – 0
BALL, STRIKE, OUT, H, AND E - BLANK
The control console LCD display shows the total runs for the HOME and GUEST teams. It also provides instructions to help the operator use some of the console functions. Note: The Guest and Home Pitch Counts, Ball, Strike, Out, Hit, and Error will be displayed on the scoreboard, but not on the console. There is a clock function displayed on the control console, not on the scoreboard. Likewise, the Inning is always displayed on the console with the word "TOP" (as in "top of the inning") which refers to a feature not available on this scoreboard model. The Model 1160 does not distinguish between the "top" and "bottom" of an Inning. Figure 12 explains the LCD display layout.
