Cell filter kits
If you encounter a situation where your wireless scoreboard lights start
flickering for no apparent reason, or your scoreboard exhibits sluggish
responses (i.e., the clock does not run at a normal cadence), or you expe

rience signal loss or dropout, contact the Fair-Play Help Desk. These prob-
lems can often be solved with the purchase of an in-line filter kit, (part no.
08-1003-00-2 with C1516 cable, or part no. 06-0076 -01). These in-line
filter kits are installed between the antenna cable or receiver. Outdoor
scoreboards built after Oct. 17, 2005 should already have had a 08-1003-
002 in-line filter kit installed at the factory.
Scoreboard not picking up radio signal
If a scoreboard or shot timer is having difficulty locking onto the radio sig-
nal, 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 trans
-
mitter 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.
