Site Preparation

In determining the location for your
Megatouch video game, consideration must
be given to a suitable, grounded electrical
outlet. Since the game is a computerized
device, it should have a separate circuit, if
at all possible. If a separate circuit is not
available, care should be taken to provide a
clean and constant voltage. As a basic
guideline, never connect the unit to a circuit
that also supplies power to freezers, cool-
ers or other high power consuming and elec-
trical noise generating equipment. Place the
game in a location where nothing will inter-
fere 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 game should be located on a sturdy,
level surface. The bottom of the cabinet
has leg levellers to make any necessary
adjustments. When the game is properly
adjusted, it should remain stable. The cabi-
net is designed to be secured to the floor.
Follow the instructions below to secure the
game.

If there is not a hole in the middle of the
bottom of the cabinet, drill a 3/8” hole.

Mark the hole on the floor directly
through the cabinet.

Drill a hole in the floor. For concrete,
drill a 1/2” hole, for wood, drill a 3/8”
inch hole.

For wooden floors, tap the provided
hex drive wood insert into the hole with
a hammer, then use a 7/32” Allen
wrench to completely install the insert.
For concrete floors, tap the expanding
lag shield with a hammer until it is com-
pletely in the floor.

Install the provided three-prong knob
and washer into the hole in the bottom
of the cabinet and through the insert in
the floor.

Setting up your Megatouch Game

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.

Follow the instructions in the

Ticket

Dispenser

section of the manual to

load the tickets. The tickets are located
inside on the bottom of the cabinent

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.

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.

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 Fun Zone Jr. comes housed
in a 15” countertop cabinet. This game has
4 key-locked compartments: the CPU sec-
tion, the service section, coin mech section,
and the coin box. There is also a key-locked
ticket dispenser door built into the front of
the stand. The game comes equipped with
a coin mech and/or bill acceptor.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible from the rear
of the unit. This section houses the monitor
controls on the rear door, the CPU, I/O boards,
the power supply and the main harness.

General Care and Maintenance

NOTE:

THIS GAME MUST ONLY BE SER-

VICED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON-

NEL.

CAUTION:

THERE ARE HIGH VOLTAGE

PARTS IN THIS GAME. BE CAREFUL

WHEN SERVICING THE INSIDE OF THE

GAME. GAME SHOULD ALWAYS BE

UNPLUGGED BEFORE SERVICING

Screen Calibration:

•

Find the

CALIBRATE

button located be-

hind the coin mech and press it to enter
the screen calibration mode.

•

Touch the center of the first cross that
appears on the screen. Once you re-

lease your finger, a second cross will
appear.

NOTE:

You must hold your finger on the

cross for approximately 2 seconds for
the calibration to be recognized.

•

Touch the center of the second cross
that appears on the screen.

•

Once the second cross is touched and
released, another cross will appear on
the screen. To test the calibration of
the screen, touch the cross with your
finger and slowly drag your finger
around the screen. The cross should
follow your movement.

•

Touch the

EXIT

button.

Degaussing Your Monitor

If your monitor is displaying “purity problems,”
(a display with purity problems will have
parts of an all-white screen affected by
blotches of color) the monitor needs to be
degaussed using a

degaussing coil.

degaussing coil is a circular electromagnet,
used to cancel out any stray magnetic fields
that may build up on a metal object.

All of our monitors have built-in degaussing
coils that are automatically activated on
power-up. If your game is experiencing mi-
nor purity problems, try powering down the
game for 20 minutes and then reapplying
power to activate the degaussing coil. If the
problem is not corrected, you will have to
use a manual-degaussing coil. Use the fol-
lowing instructions for degaussing a moni-
tor.

Plug in your degaussing coil.

Hold the coil about three feet from the
monitor, press the trigger to activate
the magnetic field. For circular-shaped
coils, orient the coil so you see the moni-
tor through the hole in the middle; for
wand-shaped coils, point the wand
towards the screen.

Move the coil in a circular motion around
the face of the monitor and slowly ap-
proach the game.

Continuing to move the coil in a circular
motion, slowly back away from the
monitor.

5a. CIRCULAR-SHAPED COILS: When you

are about three feet away, quickly turn
the coil perpendicular to the monitor and
release the trigger.

5b. WAND-SHAPED COILS: When you are

about three feet away, point the wand
away from the monitor and release the
trigger.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure

For adjusting the colors on any of our moni-
tor types, we suggest following the proce-
dures described below.

The vertical/hori-

zontal controls and brightness/contrast con-
trols are located on the monitor control board,
velcroed inside the rear door. Pressing the
button labeled

SEL

will toggle through the

digital controls. The LED’s indicate which
control is selected. One lit LED corresponds
to the top row of options, while two lit LED’s
corresponds to the bottom row. The con-
trols from left to right on the top row are:
Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Position,
Horizontal Size, Vertical Position, Vertical
Size. The controls from left to right on the
bottom row are: Pincushion, Trapezoid, Par-
allel, Zoom and Recall (which sets the dis-
play settings to the original factory defaults).
When the minimum or maximum value has
been reached, the LED’s will flash.

Adjust

the controls until the screens look as sug-
gested in the following steps.

Tatung Monitors

Set the game to the Quik Match game
screen.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal size
and vertical and horizontal position to
make sure that the game screen fills

the monitor screen and that the game
screen is centered.

Adjust the brightness and contrast con-
trols until the red tiles are a rich red and
the background is black. The numbers
on the tiles should be bright white. (Ad-
justing the brightness and contrast can
also correct for a lack of sharpness.)

General Circuit Board Handling
Information

Before handling any boards, observe the
following procedures:

•

Prevent Electro-Static Discharge by:

1. Storing the boards in the anti-

static bags in which they are
shipped.

2. Removing any static charge

from your body before handling
the boards.

3. Using a ground strap when

handling the boards.

•

When plugging in connectors to the
board, make sure the connector is
inserted straight onto the header and
that the connector covers all header
pins.

•

Do not connect any peripheral device
to the board, if the power is still
connected to the peripheral or if power
is already applied to the board.

CAUTION

: Be extremely careful when re-

placing the lithium battery on the
motherboard. There is a danger of explo-
sion if the battery on the motherboard is in-
correctly replaced. Only replace the bat-
tery with the same type recommended by
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batter-
ies according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

3 MEGATOUCH FUN ZONE JR. OWNER’S MANUAL PM0490-04

Cleaning the Cabinet

•

The cabinet should be cleaned with a
damp cloth and mild detergent. Always
apply the cleaner to the cloth and not
directly on the game. Liquids could
enter the cabinet and damage electron-
ics inside.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

•

The touchscreen glass should be
cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-
pyl alcohol or a

non-ammonia

cleanser.

Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-
based cleansers, as they will damage
the touchscreen glass

NOTE:

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE

SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED
CLEANSERS ON THE MONITOR OR
SIDE DECALS. OVER TIME, SUCH
CLEANSERS COULD HARM THE
TOUCHSCREEN AND ERASE THE DE-
CALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COM-
MERCIAL CLEANERS CONTAINING
ANY OF THESE SUBSTANCES.

Cleaning the Fans and Vents

•

The fans and vents should be cleaned
of any dust and grime on a regular
basis to ensure proper ventilation of
the game.

•

To ensure proper operation of the
game, it is important that all fans are
operating correctly and that the airflow
is unobstructed. Make sure nothing is
placed inside the cabinet or next to the
fan vents that would inhibit the flow of
air. Also, if any fans are not operating,
it is important that they be replaced.

Coin-In

To Enter The “Coin-In” Screen, Touch “Coin-In” on the Credits Menu

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by changing the number of credits required to play
a game or by changing the cost of a credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to adjust the cost
of a credit, as well as provide a way to give players “bonus” credits for depositing a higher
amount of money.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Channel 2
for the next highest value, etc. If all six coin inputs are not used, the unused inputs must be
set to “N/A”. Adjust the coin/credit/meter pulse settings by touching the left and right arrows
on the field you want to change.

In the above example (UK currency), each game costs one (1) credit and the cost for a
single credit is 30p. This method is preferred if you want game cost to always be reflected
as “1 credit.”

In the above example (UK currency), the cost of a credit is set to 10p and each game costs
3 credits (for a total of 30p). This method allows game cost to be increased by the smallest
unit of currency used (e.g. increasing the cost of Solitaire to four (4) credits would increase
the game cost by 10p).

In both examples, note that meter pulses are independent of credits and only track the unit
of currency (10p in the examples). Players are given an incentive to deposit more money
- they earn “bonus” credits for depositing 50p or £1. Coins may be deposited in any
combination of values and the game will automatically register the highest number of credits
for the total amount of coins deposited. Once a game is played, any remaining fractional
credits are erased.

Generally, most countries have a factory default setting. This setting can be adjusted (as
described above), but will return if the game memory is cleared. Some programs, depending
on the key used, have a currency default display located to the left of the coin inputs. It
shows the currency value for each of the coin inputs. This display is used as a guide and
is not used in any calculations. Touch the currency default display to hide/show the display.

TICKET SETUP SCREEN

Fun Zone Setup

The Fun Zone Setup Screens allow you to
program what is printed on coupons and
set up the rewards for particular game
scores. On the Fun Zone Setup Screen,
select how many tickets are awarded for
kid’s games by using the arrows next to

Kids Game Payout

. Certain kids games

will always award this number of tickets
per game.

Ticket Setup

The Ticket Setup Screen allows the opera-
tor to control the payouts by changing the
number of tickets won for each skill score
and the value of a ticket.

To Enter This Screen, Touch “Ticket
Setup” on the Fun Zone Setup Menu

Skill Score:

All Fun Zone games convert

raw game scores to a skill score to remove
the element of chance. The Skill Score is
determined by comparing a player’s score
with all other scores achieved by players
using the same play fields. The resulting
score is a percentage of 100,000, deter-
mined by comparison to other players on
the same levels. The amount of tickets won
is based on Skill Score and Credits played.

Tickets Won:

Changes the number of tick-

ets won per Skill Score. Move the Up and
Down arrows in the Payout: 1 Credit row.
Once the ticket payout is selected for 1 Credit
($0.25), the payouts for 2 ($0.50), 3 ($0.75),
and 4 ($1.00) credits will adjust accordingly
down the vertical column. The number of
Tickets Won for a specific Skill Score can-
not exceed the number for the higher Skill
Score to its right.

The

Average Tickets Per Credit

number

on the bottom left corner of the screen
changes in relation to increasing and de-
creasing of the number of Tickets Won. In

The Transaction Log Screen will display the
date, time, transaction, value in tickets and

or coupons are won, but not yet collected.

(ticket games) - indicates the num-

ber of tickets printed.

transaction log will also be cleared.

conjunction, the Average Tickets Per
Credit,Tickets Won and percentage payout
per credit can be used to calculate and con-
trol the amount of return value players re-
ceive from the total credits played.

Ticket Value:

Adjusts in increments of

1/10 of a cent. As the ticket value is raised
or lowered, the percentages next to Pay-
out: X Credit respond appropriately. The per-
centages represent the return rate an aver-
age player will receive for a specific credit
or money input.

NOTE: Changing the price of Credits
in the Credits/Pricing screens will also
effect payout percentages. Higher
prices per credit equal a lower percent-
age return of payout for the player;
lower prices earn the player a higher
percentage payout.

tickets a player may win. Tickets increase
by increments of 10. The minimum cannot
be set below the highest payout of a 4 credit
game.

restrict the progressive jackpot from grow-
ing past its value.
