How to Set Unicorn Electronic Dart Boards

Unicorn electronic dartboards have preprogrammed games that tally the score of each player in the game. This takes the guesswork out of playing unfamiliar games. Setting up the dartboard at regulation height and throwing distance allows you to get the most from your installed dartboard. Using the proper mounting hardware and using the correct mounting locations ensures the dartboard does not fall to the ground during a well-played game of darts.

Things You'll Need

Tape measure
Pencil
2-foot level
1/8-inch drill bit
Variable speed drill motor
Phillips screwdriver
3 AA batteries
Electrical tape

Instructions

  Measure up 68 inches from the floor with a tape measure. Mark a horizontal line on the wall with a pencil. Set a 2-foot level vertically against the wall with one side of the level running through the pencil mark. Starting at the horizontal pencil mark, draw a vertical line along the side of the level with a pencil.

  Measure 5 9/16 inches up from the 68-inch mark and place a mark across the vertical line with a pencil. Set the level against the wall horizontally. Align one edge of the level with the mark you placed across the vertical line. Using the vertical line as the center point, draw an 8-inch horizontal line with the pencil.

  Place two marks on the horizontal line with your pencil. Draw each mark 3 1/4 inches out from the vertical line. Mark a final location 68 3/4 inches off the floor with the mark crossing the vertical line drawn with the level. Circle the 68 3/4-inch and the two 3 1/4-inch marks with your pencil.

  Drill a 1/8-inch hole at each location with a 1/8-inch drill bit and a variable speed drill motor. Install one supplied screw into each hole with a Phillips screwdriver. Leave the heads of the three screws 1/8 inch from the surface of the wall.
