The Dialed In Menu System B-2
B.1
Menu System Basics
The Dialed In menu system allows the user or operator of the game to test the performance of its
components and assemblies, personalize its rules and track, monitor or manage its play and/or
earnings. Four pushbuttons are used to navigate the menu system, make adjustments, enter data,
check components, trigger tests, etc. The buttons are located on the inside of the coin door,
mounted to a bracket nearest its outside edge (circled in figure B1).
The buttons are labeled: black is Enter , red next to it is Up/+ , next red is Down/- and green is Back/
Escape . Each time you press a button, you will hear an audio response through the game’s speakers.
Use Enter to enter a sub-menu, select a menu item to change or execute a command. Use Up/+ or
Down/- to maneuver through menu choices or increase/decrease data values for a selected menu
item. Use
Back/Escape
to exit a sub-menu or escape from a selected menu item without saving
changes. Each sub-menu screen contains specific instructions for button use and/or visual cues
superimposed over the button illustrations in the lower left corner of the LCD screen.
To enter the menu system at any time (after system boot-up), open the coin door and momentarily
press Enter . The main menu screen will instantly appear on the game’s LCD monitor (figure B2).
The current date and time will be displayed in the lower right hand corner of the screen, along with
the version of software the game is running. All of the RGB LEDs and GI/flasher LEDs in the game
will light up in white to improve visibility above and below the playfield.
From the main menu screen, you can access the game's Test Report (if present), device/component
tests, game settings, audits, utilities, presets, reports and resets. Simply move up/down in the list of
menu icons, using Up/+ and Down/- , then press Enter to select the sub-menu you’d like to access.
To exit the menu system and return to game play, press Back/Escape . Specific details for each main
menu item are included later in this section. From this screen, you can also easily jump into the
Game Presets , Difficulty Presets & Customization menus to quickly customize your game.
Note: When the coin door is opened, the game’s safety interlock switch (the upper switch on item
4, pg C-2 of this manual) disables the 70-volt power running to the playfield. In order to activate
70-volt devices in any of the diagnostics tests, you must either close the coin door or pull the safety
interlock switch’s actuator out (it will “click” and lock in place). When you close the coin door, the
interlock switch actuator will be pushed back into its normal (unlocked) position. CAUTION: Most of
the high power coils will be enabled, so slingshots, pop bumpers, VUKs and flippers (if activated by
the flipper buttons) will kick a ball around as it rolls down the playfield - or fire when trigger
switches are closed by any means.
So please be careful with your fingers and tools on the
playfield surface! If you lift the playfield for any reason, please be careful around high power
coil lugs, as they present a shock hazard!
