Section 13: Team Name Operation
Refer to the information in Section 3 to start up the console and use the sport insert. Read Section 3
carefully to fully understand the following operation instructions and for MENU KEY operations.
13.1 Sport Insert LL-2276
Reference Drawing: Sport Insert, Team Name Code 98 . . . . . . . . . . . Drawing A-86116
The team name insert allows the console to be used as a keyboard to have team names appear on the
team name message centers of the scoreboard. It can also be used to store and display various
messages. Be sure the team names are not too long for the display.
Small 32-column displays are adequate for a few initials or a short name. Large 48-column displays
can hold longer names. The particular combination of letters affects how many characters fit. For
example, the letter “I” is only three columns wide while an “M” or “W” are five columns wide.
Note: When operating in the team name mode, commands and prompts appear on the message centers
of the scoreboard only, not the LCD.
13.2 Entering Team Name Mode
There are two ways of entering Team Name Mode. Code 98 can be entered when the console is
first powered up to enter the Team Name Mode. This mode can also be selected from the <
MENU >
key while in a specific sport mode. If this method is used, exiting from the Team Name Mode will
return the operator to the sport mode with the current game retained in memory.
13.3 Selecting Sign Size
When powered up, the team name message center defaults to a sign size of 48 columns (3
lampbanks). If this is the correct size, the team names can automatically be entered.
If the sign size needs to be changed, enter one of the following combinations:
Sign Size Keys
16 columns (1 lampbank) < ESC ><1>
32 columns (2 lampbanks) < ESC ><2>
48 columns (3 lampbanks) < ESC ><3>
64 columns (4 lampbanks) < ESC ><4>
Note: Any information visible on the display will be deleted when the sign size is changed.
