The computer is serviced as one unit. YOU WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY if you open the computer without direct authorization
from the GLOBAL VR Technical Support staff.
When shipping the computer, always use plenty of padding and
protection. GLOBAL VR recommends shipping the computer in a box
with three inches of foam padding on all sides. Shipping the computer
without enough padding can VOID THE WARRANTY if the computer is
visibly damaged from shipping.
Perform the following steps to remove the computer from the cabinet:
1.
Disconnect the cabinet from AC power and remove the rear door from the cabinet.
2.
Disconnect all of the cables from the computer.
3.
Remove the Game Dongle and keep it with your cabinet.
Do not
ship the Game Dongle with the

the cabinet.
5.
Unbuckle the strap that secures the computer in place and remove the computer.
