CLOCK ON / OFF HAND HELD UNIT OPERATION

There are two versions of this accessory.  The older version is a rectangular box with one button and a LED.  The newer version has a cylindrical body with a bottom on the top.  Both versions have an attached cable that plugs into a jack on the control console back plate labeled Clock Hand held.  This accessory performs the same function as the CLOCK ON / OFF key on the console keypad.

You should reset the scoreboard each time that it is turned on.  Test out all the functions to ensure that the scoreboard is operating properly.  Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company strongly advises that you unplug the control console, disconnect the extension cable at the control console, and turn the power to the scoreboard off when the scoreboard is not in use.  The control console can not turn the scoreboard off.  This action will help protect the scoreboard and control console from power surges and lightning strikes.
