On Your Mark, Get Set….Start Track Season With a Bang!

Even if your display is maintained annually with a Daktronics system check, you should take the time to complete a review of the equipment before the season starts.

Here are seven steps to take to make sure you’re ready to go:

1. Review the Standard Video Maintenance Guide. You’ll find many tips and tricks to making sure your display is at its best.
2. Clean up your display and do a visual inspection. Over time, particles can collect on the display face. Cleaning it ensures that image quality is at its best. As you go, visually inspect each system for signs of seasonal damage, loose wires or vandalism.
3. Listen up. After your visual inspection, power on your audio system. Play test content and walk the stadium to listen for audio in all seating areas. Startup and shutdown procedures can be found in your manual on our website.
4. Run a mock meet. Fire up your control system and stats system, and run a practice game in DakStats to make sure everything is ready to run.
5. Check your antennae. If there is any damage, you can find a replacement at How do I order All Sport antennas online.
6. Need help from the pros? Consider scheduling a maintenance check with the Daktronics service team. Just go to MySupport.
7. Prepare your paperwork. Make sure you have all your manuals handy for every operator. Lost one? You can find it on the Daktronics Support page.

Now that you are up and running, consider what content you’re going to feature.

Be creative and have some fun! This is a great place for you students to shine. You could show state record times, feature stats for standout athletes, and show places and times as races finish.
