Duplicate Address
Each Playmaker has an address or “unit number” assigned to it. These addresses or unit numbers
allow the computer to recognize the Playmakers individually. Playmakers with the same address will
respond as a single unit, interfering with one another. The address appears as a three-digit number
on the third line of the LCD immediately after the unit is powered up. Check all Playmaker addresses
to verify that there are no duplicates.
Upon finding duplicate address problem, please call NTN and the customer service
representative will correct the problem for you immediately.
Playmaker Reception Test
In some cases, the Playmakers exhibit a lag between input and execution. If the unit does not
respond in two or three attempts, place it in the charging tray for about 5 to 8 seconds and the unit will
reset itself. Remove the unit from the charging tray and try again. If this does not solve the problem
the batteries may not be fully charged or the playmaker needs repair.
