Misc.
This controller is equipped with penalty arrows using the [PENALTY ◄] or the [PENALTY ►] buttons. Most Daktronics hockey scoreboards manufactured when this controller was in production do not have these arrows, so these buttons don't do anything. If the scoreboard does happen to have penalty arrows, these would be used (in European hockey) to indicate that there is a misconduct being served.

The 5000 series controller has, [SAVES +1] and [SAVES -1] buttons that work the same as the shots on goal buttons. ''None of the fixed digit scoreboards from Daktronics display goalie saves... this would only be displayed if connected to a video screen using real-time data. (RTD)''

The [SET SHOT TIME] and [RECALL SHOT TIME] buttons are not used in hockey.
