Halex Q-3200 Electronic Dartboard Complete Instructions

Halex Q-3200 Electronic Dartboard

Unpacking the Game

Unpack your new dartboard carefully, making sure all parts are included. The following components are included in this set:

• 1 Electronic Dartboard with cabinet
• Owner’s Manual
• 12 Darts (unassembled)
• Soft tip replacement pack
• A/C Adapter

Setup / Mounting Instructions

Choose a location to hang the dartboard where there is about 10 feet of open space in front of the board. The “toe-line” should be 7’ 9 1/4” from the face of the dartboard. Since this dartboard can be powered with the included AC adapter, you may want to mount it close to an electric outlet for convenience.

Locate a wall stud and place a mark 79 3/4” from the floor. Place another mark at the same height, 16” from the first mark. Due to the weight of the dartboard and cabinet, it is recommended that you mount it onto the wall studs. If this is not possible, we have included 2 drywall anchors. Bullseye height should be 5’ 8” from the floor. Toeline should be 7’ 9 1/4” from the face of the board. Screw 2 cabinet mounting screws (long) in the center of the stud using the marks you made as guides. Be sure the screws are level with one another (use a level for accuracy) to ensure the dartboard will be level.

Mount the dartboard to the cabinet before mounting it to the wall. Lay the cabinet on the floor with doors open. Note the 4 screw receivers embedded in the backboard of the cabinet. Place the dartboard into the cabinet and line up the holes with the screw receivers. The holes on the dartboard are located in the catch ring area outside the scoring segment area. Using a small Philips-head screwdriver, screw the dartboard mounting screws into the receivers. The dartboard is now attached securely to the cabinet.

To mount the cabinet to the wall, simply line up the screws on the wall with the hang brackets located on the back of the cabinet (top edge). It may be necessary to adjust the screws until the board fits snugly against the wall. Plug the A/C adapter into the wall outlet and into the jack at the bottom right of the dartboard through the hole in the right side of the cabinet.

5. Press the START/HOLD button (red) to activate the game and begin play.
6. Throw darts.
7. When all 3 darts have been thrown, a voice command will indicate “Remove Darts,” and the score will flash. The darts can now be removed without affecting the electronic scoring. When all darts are removed from the playing surface, press the START button to go to the next player. A voice command will indicate which player is up. Also, the player indicator lights will illuminate to show which player’s turn it is.

Display Protective Film

This electronic dartboard may have a clear film over the entire display area and over the button area to prevent scratching during shipping. It is recommended that you remove this film so the display is easier to read. To remove, simply lift the edge, peel off, and discard.

Game GuardÔ Feature

After the START button has been pressed and play has begun, the GAME GUARD feature can be activated. When the button is pressed, all of the keys will “lock.” When Game Guard is active, a misguided dart hitting a button will not affect your game. To deactivate the Game Guard, simply press the button again, and the keys will unlock.

CyberMatchÔ Feature

This exciting feature allows a single player to play against the computer at one of five different levels of skill. Only 1 player can compete against the CyberMatch competitor at a time. The CyberMatch feature adds a level of competition to normally routine practice sessions.

To activate the CyberMatch opponent:

1. Select the game you wish to play.
2. Press the CYBERMATCH button. Select CyberMatch opponent skill level by pressing the CYBERMATCH button continually (voice command will indicate level).
3. Press START to begin play.

When play begins:

The “human” player throws first. After 3 darts are thrown, go to the board to take darts out and press START to change to the next player (CyberMatch). Watch as the CyberMatch opponent’s dart scores are registered on the display. The dartboard will indicate the segment the CyberMatch opponent is throwing for in the display area. After the CyberMatch opponent completes his round, the board will automatically reset for the “human” player. Play continues until one player wins.

Handicap Feature

This feature is used to give novice players a “head start” when playing players of greater skill. Before play, decide which players will get a “handicap.” Press the HANDICAP button to activate this feature. Press the PLAYER button to select the player you wish to handicap (the player’s light will flash to indicate which player you have selected). Once the player is selected, press the HANDICAP button.

Each time the button is pressed, that player will receive an extra round of darts (3 throws). The scoreboard on the right side of the board will indicate how many extra rounds of darts you have selected for handicap. Each player can have different levels of handicap. Note: The handicap feature can be utilized for all games except Golf and Trapshoot.

QuickPickÔ Game Buttons

These buttons launch you directly into the game indicated below the button. With the large selection of available games included in this dartboard, these buttons are a convenient way to jump directly into a game. The default setting is for 2 players. The following games have been set up for QuickPick:

• Big Six
• Cut-Throat Cricket
• Cricket
• 301 / 501

Team Play

When pressing the PLAYER button, the sequence is as follows: 3 player, 4 player, 5 player, 6 player, 7 player, 8 player, T 2-2 (“4 Player”), T 3-3 (“6 Player”), T 4-4 (“8 Player”), 1 player, and back to 2 player. When selecting a team play option:

Active Score Display

This dartboard has an active score display. This LED, located in the center of the display, indicates the current thrower’s dart scores during play.

Caring for your Electronic Dartboard

1. Never use metal-tipped darts on this dartboard. Metal-tipped darts will seriously damage the circuitry and electronic operation of this dartboard.
2. Do not use excessive force when throwing darts. Throwing darts too hard will cause frequent tip breakage and cause excess wear on the board.
3. Turn darts clockwise as you pull them from the board. This makes it easier to remove darts and extends the life of the tips.
4. Use only the A/C adapter that comes with the dartboard. Using the wrong adapter may cause electrical shock and damage to the electronic circuits.
5. Do not spill liquids on the dartboard. Do not use spray cleaners, cleaners that contain ammonia, or other harsh chemicals, as they may cause damage.

Game Rules

The 3200-Q electronic dartboard is loaded with games and options. The rules for each game are detailed below in the order they appear on the LED display when paging through the games. An illustration of the LED displays is indicated next to the game description for your reference. Please note that the characters may appear slightly different from those illustrated here.

301 (G01)

This popular tournament and pub game is played by subtracting each dart from the starting total until the player reaches exactly 0 (zero). If a player goes past zero, it is considered a “Bust,” and the score returns to where it was at the start of that round. For example, if a player needs a 32 to finish the game and he/she hits a 20, 8, and 10 (totals 38), the score goes back to 32 for the next round. In playing the game, the double-in / double-out option can be chosen (double out is the most widely used option). Simply press the “DOUBLE” button to change this setting. LED indicators will display your current setting:

• Double In – A double must be hit before points are subtracted from the total. In other words, a player’s scoring does not begin until a double is hit.
• Double Out – A double must be hit to end the game. This means that an even number is necessary to finish the game.
• Double In and Double Out – A double is required to start and end scoring of the game by each player.
• Master Out – A double or triple is required to finish the game.

Dart-Out Feature (“01” games only)

This electronic dartboard has a special “Dart Out” feature. When a player requires less than 160 to reach zero, the estimate feature becomes active. The player can press the DART OUT button to view the darts necessary to throw to finish the game (reach zero exactly). Doubles and triples are indicated with 2 or 3 lines to the left of each number, respectively.

Adjustable difficulty settings for 301 include 401, 501, 601, 701, 801, and 901. To change to these more difficult settings, simply press the SELECT button. Each option is played exactly as outlined for 301, with the exception of the starting total; 401 has a starting total of 401 points, 501 has a starting total of 501 points, and so on up to 901.

Cricket (G02)

Cricket is a strategic game for accomplished players and beginners alike. Players throw for numbers best suited for them and can force opponents to throw for numbers not as suitable for them. The object of Cricket is to “close” all of the appropriate numbers before one’s opponent while racking up the highest number of points.

Only the numbers 15 through 20 and the inner/outer bullseye are used. Each player must hit a number 3 times to “open” that segment for scoring. A player is then awarded the number of points of the “open” segment each time he/she throws a dart that lands in that segment, provided their opponent has not closed that segment. Hitting the double ring counts as two hits, and the triple ring counts as 3 hits. Numbers can be opened or closed in any order. A number is “closed” when the other player(s) hit the open segment 3 times. Once a number has been “closed,” any player for the remainder of the game can no longer score on it.

Winning – The side closing all the numbers first and accumulating the highest point total is the winner. If a player “closes” all numbers first but is behind in points, he/she must continue to score on the “open” numbers. If the player does not make up the point deficit before the opposing player(s) “closes” all the numbers, the opposing side wins. Play continues until all segments are closed; the winner is the player with the highest score.

Cricket Scoring Display

This dartboard utilizes a dedicated scoreboard that keeps track of each player’s segment status (“marks”) when playing Cricket. When Cricket is selected, the lights on the Cricket scoreboard are not lit; they will illuminate as “marks” are scored. There are 3 separate lights within each number (15 through 20 and bullseye). During play, one of the status lights will turn on as a segment is hit. If a double or triple of an active number is hit, 2 or 3 lights will turn on, respectively.

No-Score Cricket

(Press SELECT button when Cricket is displayed). Same rules as standard Cricket, except there is no point scoring. The object of this version is to be the first to simply “close” all the appropriate numbers (15 through 20 and the bullseye).

Scram (G03) (For 2 players only)

This game is a variation of Cricket. The game consists of two rounds. The players have a different objective in each round. In round 1, player 1 tries to “close” (score 3 hits in each segment, 15 to 20, and bullseye). During this time, player 2 attempts to rack up as many points in the segments that the other player has not yet closed. Once player 1 has closed all segments, round 1 is complete.

In round 2, each player’s roles are reversed. Now, player 2 tries to close all the segments while player 1 goes for points. The game is over when round 2 is complete (player 2 closes all segments). The player with the highest point total is the winner.
