Operating Manual
Model 377
Congratulations on your purchase of
Excalibur Electronics’ innovative LCD
Backgammon! You’ve purchased a part-
ner who’s always ready for a game—and
who can improve as you do!
Install the Batteries
Using a small Phillips screwdriver,
remove the battery-compartment panel
screw on the back of LCD Backgammon.
Then remove the panel by pulling gently
from the top. Install three fresh, alkaline
AAA batteries, making sure to follow the
diagram in each battery slot so that the
polarity (+ or -) of the batteries is correct.
Replace the battery compartment panel.
Play a Game Right Away
After you have installed the batteries, the
display will show the backgammon board
with all the pips (pieces) on their starting
triangles (see figure on right). The LCD
will also show SidESidE. This indicates you
are at the first move of the game and
ready to roll the dice to see who goes
first. If it doesn't display SidESidE, use a
thin object to press RESET.
Deciding Who Goes First
Press the central direction button
diaganolly down to the left or right. This
activates the ROLL key. You will see the
dice roll, then stop. If the die on the left is
less than the die on the right, LCD
Backgammon will go first and play it’s
move. If the die on the left is larger, you
move first so the display will show
PLAyPLAy. If doubles (the same value dice)
are rolled, the display will show dOUbdOUb,
which means the stakes for the game can
be doubled. You may accept the double
or decline it by pressing the ACCEPT or
decline DECLINE keys.
After the computer’s move or after your
move, the display will show rOLLrOLL,
press a ROLLkey to roll the dice.
Making Your First Move
The way you select and make your move
is very simple. You always have WHITE.
• Press on the SELECT key to choose
the pip you want to move. An arrow will
point to the pip if it can be legally moved.
• To play the die on the left, press the
central direction button diaganolly up to
the left. This activates the LEFT key.
• To play the die on the right, press the
central direction button diaganolly up to
the right. This activates the RIGHT
key.
