Site Preparation
In determining the location for your
Megatouch FORCE™ video game, consid-
eration must be given to a suitable, grounded
electrical outlet. Since the game is a com-
puterized device, it should have a separate
circuit, if at all possible. If a separate circuit
is not available, care should be taken to pro-
vide a clean and constant voltage. As a
basic guideline, never connect the unit to a
circuit that also supplies power to freezers,
coolers or other high power consuming and
electrical noise generating equipment. Place
the game in a location where nothing will
interfere with proper ventilation. The game
should not be exposed to any dripping or
splashing liquids. Objects filled with liquid
should not be placed on the unit.
The upright model should be located on a
sturdy, level surface. The game will only
remain stable when the leg levellers are ex-
tended and level. Extend the leg levellers
until they contact the floor and remove the
weight of the game from the cabinet wheels.
There are also two stabilizer rods in the back
of the game to provide stability if the game is
not placed against a wall (see Figure 25).
Extend the threaded rods until they contact
the floor. When the game is properly ad-
justed, it should remain stable.
Setting up your Megatouch Game
1.
After removing the game from the car-
ton, attach the power cord to the back
of the game, near the on/off switch.
Plug the game into a standard AC out-
let.
2.
Turn the power switch at the back of
the game to ON and wait for it to go
through its boot-up sequence. At the
completion of the boot-up sequence,
the game will display the Main Menu
Screen.
3.
The machine has been preset at the
factory and therefore should not need
to be adjusted, however it is recom-
mended that the screen be calibrated
(see “Screen Calibration”) and the coin
or bill acceptor(s) be tested.
4.
There are many custom settings avail-
able for the game. To customize the
settings, follow the instructions begin-
ning with the Main Menu section in this
manual.
Game Description
The Megatouch Fusion™ comes housed in
a 17” upright cabinet. This model has 3 key-
locked compartments: the main bezel door,
the rear door and the coin/bill door. It is
equipped with a coin mech and/or bill stacker,
and optional bill acceptors are also avail-
able. This model also has couplers installed
in the rear of the game. These are used for
future hardware upgrades which include
linking and modem capabilities. Enclosed in
some games along with the keys and war-
ranty card is an Ethernet cable and a cross-
over connector which can be used to link
games. For linking information see “Linking
Games” in the next section.
Rear Door Compartment
The rear compartment of the Fusion allows
access to storage space for add-on acces-
sories.
CPU Section
The CPU section is accessible by opening
the front bezel. The CPU section houses
the monitor, motherboard, I/O board, power
supply, hard drive, centronics connector, and
the main harness.
Located in the CPU section on the I/O board
are two internal switches, SETUP and CALI-
BRATE. Pressing the SETUP button will bring
you to the Megatouch Setup Screen. See
the next section for calibration instructions.
NOTE: Additional “SET UP” and “CALI-
