# Play Buttons
### Overview
To use the Play Button to track scores in a match's game:
* **Click once** to add a point
* **Click twice** to remove a point
* **Click and hold** to capture a Replay
These three actions are performed by the Customer’s team who won the rally, even if that team did not win the point, they will click the Play Button. Every time the Play Button is clicked, the Scoreboard will incrementally count the score. When the scoring has finished, the Scoreboard will animate and clearly identify the winner of the game.
As the participants on the court are playing a game or match, they can click on the Kiosk near the centerline or the Play Buttons near the baseline of the court to add points on the Scoreboard and Kiosk. Depending on the type of booking, the Scoreboard will have a different visual before a match is started.
### The Buttons
The buttons use Bluetooth to paired with the Kiosk (iPad) on each court. Each button is affixed to a sign (previously acrylic, currently a metal plaque), which is mounted to a fence or wall behind the baseline of the court. Each court has 2 Play Buttons, one on either side of the baseline.
The Play buttons come pre-paired with the iPad/kiosk, with each button assigned to a specific court (e.g. Court 2 Left or Court 4 Right). If a button requires re-pairing, read how to [re-sync the Kiosk with Play Buttons](https://podplay.gitbook.io/docs/scoreboard-and-kiosk/kiosk#sync-with-play-buttons).

### Replace the Battery
Play Buttons use a CR2032 battery and can be easily replaced. To change the battery for the Play Button, follow these steps:
1. Open the battery hatch by pushing the button to a surface and twisting to the left
2. Remove the old CR2032 battery
3. Place the new CR2032 battery with the “+” side facing toward you
4. Push the top part of the button to the bottom and twist to the right until it clicks, and the adhesive releases the surface
We are using the Play Bands, how should we change the battery?
To change the battery, follow these steps if you have the PlayBand (wristband)
1. Peel back the rubber cover from the back of the PlayBand
2. Remove the button
3. Open the battery hatch by pushing the button to a surface and twisting to the left
4. Remove the old CR2032 battery
5. Place the new CR2032 battery with the “+” side facing toward you
6. Push the top part of the button to the bottom and twist to the right until it clicks, and the adhesive releases the surface
7. Place the button back into the band (button side down)
8. Place the rubber cover over the button
{% hint style="warning" %}
The Play Band wristband has not bee shipped to a Club since 2024. If Customers have not accidentally taken home all of your wristbands and your Club is still using them, consider moving to the Play Button on the plaque near the baseline of the court. There's a 99% reduction in the chance a Customer accidentally takes home the button when it is adhered to the plaque.
{% endhint %}
### Factory Reset
Should the Play Buttons be unable to pair, a factory reset should be performed. To preform a factory reset on the Play buttons, follow these steps:
1. Remove the battery (read [**Replacing the Battery**](https://help.podplay.app/en/articles/3318849) for more)
2. Reinsert the battery
3. Push and hold the button for 10 seconds (must be within 5 seconds of reinserting the battery)
By pushing the button, all your settings will be lost and the Play button will return to default. Once the Play Button is reset, [Sync the Play Button with the Kiosk](https://podplay.gitbook.io/docs/scoreboard-and-kiosk/kiosk#sync-with-play-buttons).
