5. MAKE YOUR MOVE
- Enter your move by pressing the piece down lightly on the
FROM
and
TO
squares. For
example, if you press the pawn on E2, you will hear a beep and the E and the 2 will appear on the display. Then
press on the
TO
square (E4). The computer will beep, display your full move “E2-E4” and then display its move
and move its piece.
6. WATCH COMPUTER’S MOVE
- When the computer makes its move, it will show the move in the display
and then move its own piece. The display will then begin counting your move time. Make your next move and
continue the game. Enjoy the fascinating Mirage!
7. SWITCH OFF AND SAVE POSITION
- At anytime you wish to stop playing just press the ON/OFF button.
The computer will switch off and go into a sleep mode. The Mirage will now remember the last position and the
previous 16 moves (8 for each player) as long as you do not interrupt the power supply. To resume play press the
ON/OFF key again.
8. STORING THE MIRAGE
- Remove batteries and or unplug the Mirage if you plan to store the Mirage for a
long period of time. Battery leakage or a power surge can damage your game. If you would like to leave your
Mirage permanently displayed on a table or counter top, we recommend purchasing the Mirage Plexiglas dust
cover to keep your playing surface dust free. Dust buildup can hamper the performance of your Mirage chess piece

GETTING STARTED:
Power Supply
First, plug the adapter into the
Mirage
adapter port and then into the wall outlet. The Mirage is designed to work
with the voltage supplied from the wall outlet through the transformer adapter that comes with the game. Use only
the factory authorized adapter.
Optional Batteries:
Your computer can run on 5 “D” Size batteries to accommodate your need to play the Mirage anywhere there is no
plug for the power source. However, the battery life is good for only about ten hours. Please remove batteries when
game is not being used as the unit will keep” thinking,” and drain the batteries. Use alkaline batteries for longer
battery life. Make sure the computer is off, then insert the batteries as shown in the front of the manual. Press NEW
GAME. If the computer fails to respond, it may be static discharge that caused it to lock up, use a sharp object to
press the ACL button for at least one second. This resets the computer.
NOTE: When battery power drops, the low battery indicator will show in the LCD. On the left side of the display
“BAT” will appear. The electromagnet may begin to miss pieces just before the low battery indicator comes on.
