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 is powered with an AC adapter, you may want to mount it close to an electric
outlet for convenience.
The mounting holes on this dartboard set are 16” apart so it can be mounted securely on
wall studs in your home. Locate a wall stud and place a mark 79 3/4” from the floor.
Measure 16” from your first mark (staying level with the first mark) and place the second
mark on the wall, which should be over another wall stud (refer to diagram on next page).
Screw 2 mounting screws in the center of the studs using the marks you made as guides.
Be sure the screws are level to ensure an accurate playing surface. If not mounting into
studs, be sure to use drywall anchors or other securing hardware appropriate to the wall you
are using.
Mount the dartboard on the wall by lining up the hang holes on the back with the screws
(see diagram below). It may be necessary to adjust the screws until the board fits snugly
against the wall. If you want to mount the dartboard even more securely to the wall, you can
fasten four screws through the holes located in the catch ring area (the area outside the
scoring segments).

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.
Accessory Storage
Dart holders and spare tip compartments are located on the inside doors. The spare tip
compartments open for easy access. Refer to diagram below.

Game Rules
The Oxford XO-3 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 the characters may appear slightly different than
illustrated here.
301
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 starting
total of 401 points; 501 has starting total of 501 points and so on up to 901.

CRICKET
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 when playing Cricket. The Cricket Scoring display on this dartboard utilizes individual
LED’s to track ‘marks’. 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)
Halex Oxford XO-3 Electronic Dartboard
_
11
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).
CUT-THROAT CRICKET
Same basic rules as standard Cricket except once scoring begins, points are added to your
opponent(s) total. The object of this game is to end up with the fewest points. This variation
of Cricket offers a different psychology to the players. Rather than adding to your own
score and helping your own cause as in standard Cricket, Cut-Throat offers the benefit of
racking up points for your opponent(s), digging him in a deeper hole. Competitive players
will love this variation!
SCRAM
(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.
ENGLISH CRICKET
(For 2 players only)
This game is another variation of Cricket that requires precision dart throwing. The game
consists of two rounds. The players have a different objective in each round. During the
first round, player 2 attempts to throw bullseyes – with the objective of needing 9 to
complete round 1. Double bull (red center) counts as 2 scores. Any throw that does not hit
bullseye is credited to player 1’s point total. For example, if player 2 throws a 20, a single
bullseye, and a 7 during his/her turn, player 2 will have one bullseye subtracted from the 9
needed, and 27 points will be credited to player 1’s point total. Player 2 must exhibit
accurate bullseye dart throwing!
Meanwhile, player 1 attempts to score as many points as possible during this first round.
Doubles and triples count 2x and 3x their respective values. However, to score points,
player 1 must score over 40 points in each turn (3 throws) to amass points against player 2.
Only those points over 40 are counted toward the cumulative score. Player 1 must also
exhibit precision dart throwing and avoid hitting any bullseyes during this first round because
any hits scored by player 1 in the bullseye area will be subtracted from player 2’s needed
total of 9 bullseyes.
Once player 2 reaches the objective of getting 9 bullseyes, the roles are reversed for round
two.

COUNT-UP
The object of this game is to be the first player to reach the specified point total. Point total
is specified when the game is selected. Each player attempts to score as many points as
possible per round. Doubles and triples count 2 or 3 times the numerical value of each
segment. For example a dart that lands in the triple 20 segment is scored as 60 points.
The cumulative scores for each player will be displayed in the LED display as the game
progresses.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Count-Up include 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and
999. To change to these more difficult settings, simply press the SELECT button. Each
option is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the total necessary to win the
game. For example, in Count-Up 500, the first player to reach 500 points is the winner.
HIGH SCORE
The rules for this competitive game are simple - Rack up the most points in three rounds
(nine darts) to win. Doubles and triples count as 2x and 3x that segment’s score
respectively.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for High Score include 4 rounds, 5 rounds, ... 14 rounds.
Each option is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the number of rounds
in the game. For example, in High Score 7 rounds, the player with the most points after 7
rounds is the winner.
ROUND-THE-CLOCK
Each player attempts to score in each number from 1 through 20 and bullseye in order.
Each player throws 3 darts per turn. If a correct number is hit, he/she tries for the next
number in sequence. The first player to reach 20 is the winner. The display will indicate
which segment you are shooting for. A player must continue shooting for a segment until it
is hit. The display will then indicate the next segment you should shoot for.
There are many difficulty settings available for this game. Each game has the same rules,
the differences are detailed as follows:
•
ROUND-THE-CLOCK 5 - Game starts at segment number 5
ROUND-THE-CLOCK 10 - Game starts at segment number 10
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK 15 - Game starts at segment number 15
•
Since this game does not utilize point scoring, the double and triple rings count as single
numbers.
ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double - Player must score a Double in each segment from 1
through 20 in order.
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 5 - Game starts at double segment 5
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 10 - Game starts at double segment 10
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Double 15 - Game starts at double segment 15
Halex Oxford XO-3 Electronic Dartboard

ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple - Player must score a Triple in each segment
from 1 through 20 in order.
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 5 - Game starts at triple segment 5
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 10 - Game starts at triple segment 10
• ROUND-THE-CLOCK Triple 15 - Game starts at triple segment 15
KILLER
This game will really show who your friends are. The game can be played with as few as
two players, but the excitement and challenge builds with even more players. To start, each
player must select his number by throwing a dart at the target area. The LED display will
indicate “SEL” at this point. The number each player gets is his assigned number
throughout the game. No two players can have the same number. Once each player has a
number, the action starts.
Your first objective is to establish yourself as a “Killer” by hitting the double segment of your
number. Once your double is hit, you are a “Killer” for the rest of the game. Now, your
objective is to “kill” your opponents by hitting their segment number until all their
“lives” are lost. The last player to remain with lives is declared the winner. It is not
uncommon for players to “team up” and go after the better player to knock him out of the
game.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Killer include 7 lives, 8 lives, ... 14 lives. Each option
is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the number of lives each player has
in the game. In addition, for those who really want a challenge, there are three additional
difficulty settings: Doubles 3 lives, Doubles 5 lives, and Doubles 7 lives. In these games,
you can only “Kill” opponents by scoring doubles in their number segment.
DOUBLE DOWN
Each player starts the game with 40 points. The object is to score as many hits in the active
segment of the current round. The first round, the player must throw for the 15 segment. If
no 15’s are hit, his score is cut in half. If some 15’s are hit, each 15 (doubles and triples
count) is added to the starting total. The next round players throw for the 16
segment and hits are added to the new cumulative point total. Again, if no hits are
registered, the point total is cut in half.
Each player throws for the numbers as indicated in the chart below in order (the LED screen
will indicate the active segment in which to throw). The player who completes the game with
the most points is the winner.

DOUBLE DOWN 41
This game follows similar rules as standard Double Down as described above with two
exceptions. First, instead of going from 15 through 20 and bullseye, the sequence is
reversed which will be indicated on the LED display. Second, an additional round is included
toward the end in which players must attempt to score three hits that add up to 41 points
(20, 20, 1; 19, 19, 3; D10, D10, 1: etc.). This “41” round adds an extra level of difficulty to
the game. Remember, a player’s score is cut in half if not successful, so the “41” round
presents quite a challenge!

ALL FIVES
The entire board is in-play for this game (all segments are active). With each round (of 3
darts) each player has to score a total which is divisible by 5. Every “five” counts as one
point. For example 10, 10, 5 = 25. Since 25 is divisible by 5 fives, this player scores 5
points (5 x 5 = 25).
If a player throws 3 darts that are not divisible by 5, no points are given. Also, the last dart
of each round must land in a segment. If a player throws the third dart and it lands in the
catch ring area (or misses the board completely), he earns no points even if the first two
darts are divisible by 5. This prevents a player from “tanking” the third throw if his first two
are good. The first player to total fifty-one (51) “fives” is the winner. The LED screen will
keep track of the point totals.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for All Fives include 51, 61, 71, 81, and 91. Each option
is played exactly as outlined above with the exception of the number of points (or fives) it
takes to win the game.
SHANGHAI
Each player must progress around the board from 1 through 20 in order. Players start at
number 1 and throw 3 darts. The object is to score the most points possible in each round
of 3 darts. Doubles and triples count toward your score. The player with the highest score
after completing all twenty segments is the winner.

In addition, we added Super Shanghai as a difficulty option. This game is played exactly as
described above except various doubles and triples must be hit as specified by the LED
display.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Super Shanghai include the following options:
•
SUPER SHANGHAI 5 - Game starts at segment 5
SUPER SHANGHAI 10 - Game starts at segment 10
• SUPER SHANGHAI 15 - Game starts at segment 15

GOLF
This is a dartboard simulation of the game golf (but you don’t need clubs to play). The
object is to complete a round of 9 through 18 “holes” with the lowest score possible. The
Championship “course” consists of all par 3 holes making par 27 for a nine hole round or 54
for a round of 18.
The segments 1 through 18 are used with each number representing a “hole.” You must
score 3 hits in each hole to move to the next hole. Obviously, double and triples affect your
score as they allow you to finish a hole with fewer strokes. For example, throwing a triple on
the first shot of a hole it is counted as an “eagle” and that player gets a completes that hole
with 1 “stroke.”
Note: The active player continues to throw darts until he “holes out” (scores 3 hits on
the current hole). The voice announcer will indicate the player that is up - listen carefully to
avoid shooting out of sequence. By the way, there are no “gimmes” in this game!
FOOTBALL
Strap your helmet on for this game! The first thing necessary is to select each player’s
“playing field.” This can be done by throwing a dart or by manually pressing a segment on
the board by each player. This is entirely up to you, but whichever segment is selected
becomes your starting point which carries through the bullseye and directly across to the
other side of the bullseye (see diagram).
For example, if you select the 20 segment, you start on the double 20 (outer ring) and
continue all the way through to the double 3. The “field” is made up of 11 individual
segments and must be hit in order. So, keeping with the example above, you must throw
darts in the following segments in this order:
Double 20 ... Outer Single 20 ... Triple 20 ... Inner Single 20 ... Outer Bullseye ... Inner
Bullseye ... Outer Bullseye ... Inner Single 3 ... Triple 3 ... Outer Single 3 ... and finally a
Double 3.
The First player to “score” is the winner. The LED display will keep track of your progress
and indicate the segment you need to throw for next.

BASEBALL
This dartboard version of baseball takes
a great deal of skill. As in the real game,
a complete game consists of 9 innings.
Each player throws 3 darts per “inning.”
The field is laid out as shown in the diagram.

Singles segments
Doubles segment
Triples segment
Bullseye
Result____________
“Single” - one base
“Double” - two bases
“Triple” - Three bases
“Home Run” (can only
be attempted on third
dart of each round)
The object of the game is to score as many runs as possible each inning. The player with
the most runs at the end of the game is the winner.
STEEPLECHASE
The object of this game is to be the first player to finish the “race” by being the first to
complete the “track.” The track starts at the 20 segment and runs clockwise around the
board to the 5 segment and ends with a bullseye. Sounds easy right? What has not yet
been specified is that you must hit the inner single segment of each number to get through
the course. This is the area between the bullseye and the triples ring. And, as with a real
steeplechase, there are obstacles throughout the course to hurdle. The four hurdles are
found at the following places:
•
1st fence
• 3rd fence
Triple 13
Triple 8
•
2nd fence
• 4th fence
Triple 17
Triple 5
The first player to complete the course and hit the bullseye wins the race.
ELIMINATION
The object of the game is to “Eliminate” your opponents. The rules are very simple. Each
player must score higher total points with 3 darts than the opponent before them. Each
player starts with 3 lives. If the player fails to score higher total points than the previous
opponents score, they lose one life. Tie scores will also result in a lost life. The winner is
the last player with lives remaining. Press the SELECT button before starting to play with 4
or 5 lives per player.

This 2 -player game uses only the 20 and 3 segments to represent the two horseshoe pits.
Player 1 will shoot at the 20 segment and Player 2 will shoot at the 3 segment.
Scoring is cumulated per round.
First player to score 15 points is the winner.
Scoring for Horseshoes is as follows:
TRIPLE RING = Ringer 3 points
DOUBLE RING= Leaner 2 points
INNER SEGMENT (Small)= 1 point
Scores will only count for the player or team with the most points in that round. For
example, if player 1 scores 3 points and player 2 scores 1 point, only player 1 will awarded
3 points for that round. Rounds continue until 15 points are scored.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings for Horseshoes include games from 15- 25 points. Press
the SELECT button before starting the game for these variations.
BATTLEGROUND
In this 2-player game, the dartboard is a battleground divided into two halves. The first
player to hit all of the opposing segments (armies) wins the game. Segments do not have
to be hit in order.
Player 1 is the “TOP” army and shoots darts at the bottom sections of the board.
Player 1 needs to hit bottom segments (6, 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8)
Player 2 is the “BOTTOM” army and shoots for the top section of the dartboard
Player 2 needs to hit top segments (11, 14, 9, 12, 5, 20, 1, 18, 4, 13)
If a player shoots and hits their own side of the dartboard (army) they lose that army.
Adjustable difficulty settings are as follows:
BATTLEGROUND DOUBLES:
•
Players shoot for double segments only to eliminate opponent’s armies
BATTLEGROUND TRIPLES:
•
Players shoot for triple segments only to eliminate opponent’s armies
BATTLEGROUND with GENERALS
This variation of the game includes one more obstacle to accomplish to win the game.
Players must capture the “general” after all segments (armies) have been hit to win the

game. One hit on the bullseye will capture the general. Hits to the bullseye will not count if
all segments are not first closed.

ADVANCED BATTLEGROUND
The rules are the same as standard Battleground except now there are land mines on the
battlefield!
Players must be careful to avoid the land mines located in the Triple and Double rings of
opponents segment numbers.
Any player that hits a double or triple ring on the opposing teams battlefield will lose an army
of his or her own. For example, if player 1 mistakenly hit the triple ring of the “6” segment,
they would lose their own army at the “11” segment. A mine can only be set off once in
each segment per game.
PAINTBALL
This game is similar to “Battleground” except there is an alternative way to win the battle
other than just hitting the opposing teams armies segments. As in the real game of
paintball, players can also capture the opposing team’s flag to win the game. To capture
the flag, the double bullseye must be hit 2 times to capture the opposing teams flag! Single
bullseyes will not count towards the 2 needed to capture the flag. Double bullseyes hit do
not have to be scored in the same round and will be tallied during the game. First player to
either capture the flag or eliminate the opposing army is the winner.
Adjustable Difficulty Settings
Paintball Doubles Players must either hit 3 double bullseyes to capture the flag or hit
double ringed segments to eliminate armies.
Paintball Triples Players must either hit 3 double bullseyes to capture the flag or hit triple
ringed segments to eliminate armies.
CAT & MOUSE
This is a very challenging 2-player game that is best suited for players of advanced skill.

One player will play the role of the cat and the other will be the mouse. The object of the game is for
the mouse to get back to his hole before being caught by the cat. The mouse starts first from the “20”
segment and proceeds counter-clockwise around the dartboard by hitting first the double segment and
then the single of each segment. The cat starts back at the “18” segment and proceeds counter
clockwise around the dartboard to catch the mouse by hitting doubles only of each segment. If the
mouse makes it all the way around the board back to the double 20, the mouse wins the game. If the
cat hits the double segment that the mouse is on, the cat has caught the mouse and has won the game.

Important Notes
Stuck Segment
Occasionally, a dart will cause a segment to become wedged within the segment separator
web. If this happens, all play will be suspended and the LED display will indicate the
segment number that is stuck.
To free the segment, simply remove the dart or broken tip from the segment. If the problem
is still not solved, try wiggling the segment until it is loose. The game will then resume where
it left off.
Broken Tips
From time to time a tip will break off and become stuck in the segment. Try to remove it
with a pair of pliers or tweezers by grasping the exposed end and pulling it out of the
segment. If this is not possible, you can attempt to push the tip through to the back of the
segment. Use a nail that is smaller than the hole and gently push the tip until it falls through
the other side. Be careful not to push too far and damage the circuitry behind the segment.
Don’t be alarmed if tips break. This is a normal occurrence when playing soft tip darts. We
include a pack of replacement tips, which should keep you supplied for quite some time.
When replacing tips, make sure you use the same type of tips that come with this dartboard
– 2ba threads.
Darts
It is recommended that you do not use darts that exceed 17 grams on this dartboard. The
darts included with this dartboard are 10 grams and use standard soft tips. Replacement
tips are available at most retailers carrying dart products.
Cleaning your Electronic Dartboard
Your Halex electronic dartboard will provide many hours of competition if cared for properly.
Regular dusting of the cabinet is recommended using a damp cloth. A mild detergent can
be used if necessary. The use of abrasive cleaners or cleaners that contain ammonia may
cause damage and should not be used. Avoid spilling liquid onto the target area since it can
result in permanent damage and is not covered by the warranty.
