WARNING: TRANSPORTING GAMES. This game contains glass and fragile electronic
devices. Use appropriate care when transporting this game. Avoid rough handling when
moving the cabinet. Do not move this game with the power on.
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER. Always turn the power OFF and unplug the game
before attempting service or adjustments unless otherwise instructed. Installing or
repairing PC boards with power ON can damage components and void the warranty.
WARNING: GROUND GAMES. Avoid electrical shocks! Do not plug in a game until you
have inspected and properly grounded it. Only plug this game into a grounded, three-
wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the line cord.
WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS. This video game system does not utilize
an isolation transformer. Internal cabinet AC is not isolated from the external AC line.
WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. If you drop a
fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet
or more from the implosion.
CAUTION: CHECK POWER SELECTOR, LAMP. Set the 115/230VAC selector on the
power supply for the correct line voltage. Check the selector setting before switching on
the game. Verify that the fluorescent lamp assembly is correct for the local line voltage.
CAUTION: USE PROPER FUSE. Avoid electrical shock! Replacement fuses must be of
the same type as those they replace. Fuse voltage and current ratings must match
ratings on the original fuse.
CAUTION: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY. Be sure that printed circuit board
(PCB) connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip on easily, do not force them. A
reversed connector may damage your game and void the warranty. Connector keys only
allow a connector to fit one set of pins on a board.
