Under normal circumstances, you should not have to change the System

Settings configuration of your MP-70/50, as this is normally done at the

Fair-Play factory. Also, the control has a memory circuit that retains game

information in case of loss of power.

However, you may need to change the SYSTEM SETTINGS under certain

situations. A typical reason why the System Settings would need to be

changed is if some change occurs in the display system hardware. For

example, if you connect a baseball scoreboard to an MP-70/50 that you

have been using to run a football scoreboard, you need to adjust both the

system and sport-specific settings. Otherwise the game data cannot be

correctly displayed on the baseball scoreboard, because the control is still

configured to run the football scoreboard.

The MP-70/50 has two programming levels: SYSTEM SETTINGS and

CHANGE SPORT. The SYSTEM SETTINGS, which is explained in this chap

ter, allow you to configure the MP-70/50 for use with your particular Fair-

Play scoreboard display systems.

The MP-70/50 system settings allow you to do the following:

• Specify the type of scoreboard you are using.

• Send data to the scoreboard in either MP-69 or MP-70 format.

• Choose a 12-hour or 24-hour time of day clock.

The CHANGE SPORT level allows you to set the MP-70/50 to monitor and

update game statistics for a particular sport. Details about CHANGE SPORT

are located under

“SELECTING AND CHANGING SPORTS” ON PAGE 173.
