It’s Spring Cleaning Season
Spring into success with Nevco: the ultimate spring-cleaning guide for your products!
EDWARDSVILLE, IL, March 20, 2025 – As the days grow longer and the temperatures start to warm up, it’s the perfect time to tackle that all-important “spring-cleaning” — but we’re not just talking about your home! At Nevco, we believe it’s equally important to refresh and maintain your sports equipment to ensure peak performance throughout the season.
Whether you’re gearing up for spring sports or preparing for another year of community events, here are a few helpful tips on how to spring clean and maintain your Nevco products to keep it looking great and working smoothly.
- Give Your Equipment a Physical Checkup
After a long winter of inactivity, your equipment might have collected dust, dirt, or debris. Start by wiping down the exterior with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. This helps keep the display clean, clear, and professional-looking. Be sure to also inspect the display panels for any signs of wear and tear or damage. If you’re noticing anything out of the ordinary, it might be time to contact Nevco for servicing or part replacements.
- Test the Functionality
It’s essential to check the overall functionality of your product, especially if it’s been a while since you last used it. Turn it on and ensure that all of the LEDs, digits and controls are functioning as they should. Verify that the clock works accurately, and check all input/output connections, as well as the wireless controls, to make sure everything is operating smoothly. Any unexpected glitches or malfunctioning components should be addressed before the next game day!
- Update Software and Firmware
Nevco’s modern products come with cutting-edge technology, and like any tech device, your system needs to stay up to date. Check for any software or firmware updates from Nevco, as these updates can improve functionality, add new features, or fix bugs. Keeping your software up to date ensures it operates at its best, providing reliable service for games and events.
- Check Your Battery and Power Supply
A vital component of product maintenance is ensuring that the power supply is in top shape. Inspect the battery backups and the overall power system to make sure they are functioning properly. If your product runs on a battery backup, replace the batteries if necessary to avoid power interruptions during key moments of your next event.
- Inspect the Connectivity
For wireless-controlled products, connectivity is key. Ensure your wireless connections (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) are stable, and if applicable, test remote control functionality to make sure everything responds quickly and accurately. You don’t want any lag time between input and display, especially during high-stakes games.
- Ensure Proper Storage and Protection
If your equipment, such as controllers, portable shot clocks or segment timers, is temporarily stored during the off-season, it’s important to ensure it’s in a safe environment. Avoid placing your equipment in areas where extreme temperatures or humidity can cause damage. Store it in a dry, temperature-controlled space to protect its components and extend the lifespan of your product.
- Service and Calibration
We provide support, assistance, and troubleshooting through our service ticket system via email and phone. If our technician determines that the equipment requires a check-up, customers can send it in for a thorough diagnosis. Feel free to reach out to our support team for more information.
