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

After a few seconds the display will read:

The scoreboard will display:

CLOCK – 15:00

GUEST SCORE  – 0

The control console LCD display shows the same information as the scoreboard.  Note:  In some functions a 0 will be blanked on the scoreboard, but not on the console LCD display.  Because this console program is used for a number of models of scoreboards, some functions will appear on the console LCD display that are not present on the scoreboard.  HOME and GUEST TIME OUTS LEFT are not displayed on the console LCD display.  Figure 8 explains the LCD display layout.
