Incorrect radio frequency configuration (Dip switch):
- You can tell if the devices are connected by the red LED indicator light on the receivers
- These indicators will blink rapidly when radio communication is active, and blink slowly when it is inactive.
- If not connected, verify the dip switch setting: the formation should be identical between the "wireless connection setting" on the Main Controller and the receiver's actual dip switches.
The Main Controller and its main board "MultiSportAp xxxx" are not paired:
- You can tell if the application is paired with the main board by checking the "connected" label at the bottom left of the sports application.
- If the label is green, the application is paired. It will be grey if the application is not linked.
- If it is not connected, press "setup," then "system settings". Push the "scan" button, tap the first item on the list labeled "MultiSportAp xxxx". That will pair it with the main board, so you can hit “exit”, and verify that the "connected" label is now green.
Is there a shot clock for basketball?
Yes, there is a shot clock display on the Basketball setting for your scoreboard.
This shot clock displays the amount of time left to shoot the ball, and is typically set at 35 seconds. When the shot clock expires, that side loses possession of the ball.
