Site Preparation

•

Place the game on a flat, level and stable

surface.

•

Place the game in a location that does

not interfere with its proper ventilation.

•

Plug the game into a grounded electri-

cal outlet on a separate circuit, if pos-

sible.  If a separate circuit is not avail-

able, care should be taken to provide a

clean and constant voltage.

•

Make sure that all fans are operating

correctly and that airflow is unob-

structed.  If any fans are not operating,

it is important that they be serviced.

•

Make sure nothing is placed on top of

the cabinet or next to the fan vents that

would inhibit the flow of air.

Remove the vinyl pouch containing this

manual, warranty card and keys (located

on the top or back of the cabinet).  Put the

warranty card and keys aside for future

use.  Clean any adhesive residue that may

be left on the cabinet after removing the vi-

nyl pouch.

NOTE:

 INSIDE THE POUCH ARE TWO

SETS OF KEYS: ONE SET UNLOCKS THE
REAR DOOR AND THE OTHER SET UN-
LOCKS THE COIN DRAWER.

Locate the power switch on the back of the

game and push the rocker switch to the “ON”

position.

Turn on the game 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.

Game Description

The  base countertop model has 2 key-locked

compartments: the rear door section and  the

coin drawer section.

   

This model also has

couplers installed in the rear of the game.

These are used for future hardware up-

grades which include linking and modem ca-

pabilities.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible from the rear

of the unit in the countertop.  The CPU

section houses the monitor controls, the CPU

and  I/O board, the power supply, the main

harness, the coin meter and the connector

board.  The security key is located on the

I/O board.

Coin Drawer Section

The  coin drawer  section is accessible from

the rear of the unit.  This section is key-

locked for security purposes.  A sturdy metal

box located within this section holds all coins

deposited into the machine.

The coin drawer must be removed to

gain access to the bill acceptor.

Screen Calibration

•

Find the “CALIBRATE” button on the

connector board located behind the

coin mech (see Figure 10) and press it

to enter the screen calibration mode.

•

Touch the center of the first circle that

appears on the screen.  Once you re-

lease your finger, a second circle will

appear.

NOTE: 

You must hold your finger on the

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

•

Touch the center of the second circle

that appears on the screen.

•

A third circle will appear to calibrate

for low color games.  Touch the center

of the third circle.

•

Once the third circle is touched and

released, a crosshair will appear on

the screen.  To test the calibration of

the screen, touch the crosshair with

your finger and slowly drag your fin-

ger around the screen.  The crosshair

should follow your movement.

•

·

Touch the “EXIT” icon.

NOTE:  

If you perform a touchscreen test

through the set-up mode, a “LOW
COLOR ADJUSTMENT” icon will ap-
pear in the upper left corner of the
screen to give you the option to set the
low color adjustment.

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 by 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 con-

nected 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.

Cleaning the Cabinet

•

The cabinet should be cleaned with a

damp cloth and mild detergent.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

•

The touchscreen glass should be

cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-

pyl alcohol or a non-ammonia cleanser.

NOTE:

 

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE OR

VINEGAR-BASED CLEANSERS, AS THEY
WILL DAMAGE THE TOUCHSCREEN.

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.

NOTE:

 

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE

SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED
CLEANSERS WHEN CLEANING YOUR
GAME. OVER TIME, SUCH CLEANSERS
COULD HARM THE TOUCHSCREEN AND
ERASE THE DECALS.  BE CAREFUL NOT
TO USE COMMERCIAL CLEANERS   CON-
TAINING ANY OF THESE  SUBSTANCES.

NOTE:  Number corresponds to the options in the pre-
ceding table.

1

Touching “TIMER” for the “ALLOW SEX?” setting allows the

operator to set times during which adult-oriented categories
and games are available to the players.  Using the arrows,
set the time at which the adult-oriented games and catego-
ries will be turned on and set the time at which they’ll be
turned off.  The time is set using 24 hour, “military” time.  The
factory default settings are set to turn on at 22:00 (10:00 PM)
and to turn off at 6:00 (6:00 AM).

2

When “ALLOW NUDITY” is set to “YES,” a small box will
appear to the right.  Select the nudity level that will appear on
the game by touching the desired level.

3

These settings are only available if “ALLOW SEX?” is set to
“TIMER” or “YES.”

4

“SET” is only shown if “Player Selectable Language” is
set to “YES.”  When enabled, the operator can select
which of the available languages will be displayed for
the user to select.  To enable the languages: at the
Language Select screen, touch the desired language
on the left, then select an open field on the right.

5

When “AUTO CLEAR HIGH SCORES” is set to “YES,” a
small box will appear to the right.  Touching this box allows
the time period to be set from 1 to 4 weeks (from the time the
player name is entered).  The factory default setting is two
(2) weeks.

6

These settings are only available if “6 STARS ENABLED?”
is set to “YES.”  For more information on 6 Stars, see Sys-
tem Settings.

7

This setting is only available if “SHOW DECK CARDS” is
set to “YES.”

8

Setting this to “YES” enables a bonus replay for all games
except Trivia Whiz, Pile On, Strip Poker, Double Solitaire
and Mystery Phraze.  The following table shows the scores
needed to achieve a bonus replay (after a replay has been
earned, the next player must beat the last replay score to
earn another replay).

9

Easy Mode reduces the number of points needed to reach
the bonus round for Hoop Jones (125/150 points), Eleven-
Up (68,000/80,000 points), Tri-Towers (64,000/80,000
points), Royal Flash (180,000/200,000 points) and Quik
Match (250,000/280,000 points).

10 Setting this to “YES” enables the Theft Deterrent.  If you

choose to enable this option, the game will automatically
shut down at specified intervals and you will need to reacti-
vate the game by entering a personal identification number.
If you select “YES”, the game will prompt you for a four to
eight digit pin number.  It will then prompt you to choose the
intervals that you want the game to activate the Theft Deter-
rent mode.  Select 1 week, 2 week, 3 week, or 4 week inter-
vals.  In order to avoid the system shutdown, you must turn
off the Theft Deterrent and turn it back on again before the end
of the time interval that you have selected.

11 Touchscreen mode offers 2 options for touchscreen settings.

Mode 1 is standard (default).  It is the recommended setting
for most locations.  This setting allows for normal play.  Mode
2 is an added feature used for faster play and reaction time
of the touchscreen.  This mode is enhanced for intensive
play.  When set to mode 2, certain environmental conditions
may cause slight touchscreen drift.  If this occurs, return to
Mode 1.

*Six Stars Enabled

This feature allows access to the Clear High

Scores, Volume Control, Video Billboard and

Calibration, without having to remove the coin

box.  If the Six Stars Enabled dip switch is

set to “YES,” touching the info button in the

main menu will cause six numbered stars to

appear on the screen.  Touching these stars

in the programmed order will bring up a

screen with icons for the Video Billboard,

High Scores and Volume Control, and Screen

Calibration screens (provided the appropri-

ate DIP switches have been set to “YES”).

To set the   sequence in which the stars

must be touched, go to the “System Set-

tings” screen, touch the “Set Six Star PIN”

icon and set the sequence.

The game list and prices are programmed

using this screen.  The left side  of the screen

shows the various game menu names.  The

fields to the right show the game positions

available, with the price for each game.  The

list at the bottom shows all games available

for that category.  The lower buttons will

reset the selected game menu to the default

setting (DEFAULT), clear all of the games

from the player’s game menu (CLEAR), clear

the selected item from the player’s game

menu (CLEAR 1), and reset all of the game

menus to the default settings (DEFAULT

ALL).

To program the player’s game lists, first  se-

lect the category in which you want the game

to appear, by touching that category’s name

on the left side of the screen.  Choose the

menu position you want the game to oc-

cupy, by touching that position.  Then, touch

the desired game name, from the game list

on the bottom of the screen.  That game will

now appear in the menu (a game cannot

appear in a game list more than once).

Games currently in the displayed category

will appear shaded in the game list on the

right.  To adjust the price, touch the price in

the game menu.  Each touch will rotate the

price from 25¢ (1CR), to 50¢ (2CR), to 75¢

(3CR), to $1 (4CR) and back to 25¢ (1CR).

Touch “EXIT” when done.

NOTE:

 

TOP GAMES

 ALLOWS THE OPERA-

TOR TO ENTER UP TO 6 GAMES IN THAT
CATEGORY.  SET THE TOP GAME THRESH-
OLD TO TELL THE GAME HOW MANY
PLAYS QUALIFIES A GAME FOR THE TOP
GAMES LIST.  ONCE A GAME REACHES THAT
NUMBER OF PLAYS, IT WILL AUTOMATI-
CALLY BE ADDED TO THE TOP GAMES CAT-
EGORY.  THE DEFAULT THRESHOLD IS “10.”

*Games currently in the displayed cat-
egory will appear shaded in the game
list on the right.

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 providing a way to give players “bonus” credits for

depositing a higher amount of money.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, E1 is set for the lowest value coin, E2 for the next

highest value, etc. If all four coin inputs are not used, the unused inputs must be set to

 “N/A.”.  Adjust the coin/credit/meter pulse settings by touching the “plus” and “minus”

signs 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

by giving them “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.

The books screen displays the current and

lifetime credit totals for each game, as well

as the percentage of credits played per game

(the percentage for each game is the total

number of credits played on that game di-

vided by the total number of credits entered

into the machine).

Touching a game name will display the cur-

rent and lifetime credit totals*, broken into 1

Player, 2 Player and Linked Games.  It also

shows the “shortest,”  “longest” and “aver-

age” playing times for that game (only “link-

only” games, like Pile-On, are included in time

calculations; time calculations for games that

can be played as link or amusement are only

displayed for the amusement version).

Touch CLEAR CURRENT to erase all current

book data.

*Touching Trivia Whiz or Power Trivia

displays totals by category.

Video Billboard Icon Functions:

Megatouch MAXX™ Video
Billboard Operating Instructions

The Megatouch MAXX™ Video Billboard al-

lows for six, separate advertising screens.

Two of the screens can only be accessed

using “Six Stars” (and are intended for use

by the location owner), the other four

screens are  accessed using the Video Bill-

board icon located on the System Settings

screen.

The Video Billboard provides several font

styles, sizes and colors, a choice of back-

ground colors and designs, as well as a

variety of clip art.  The basic Video Billboard

screen is shown below, followed by the

operating instructions.  A maximum of 16

screen objects (a line of text or a piece of

clip art) can be placed on any given screen.

The Video Billboard also allows you to add 3

advertising screens that you create on your

personal computer.  These screens are in

addition to the 6 screens that can be cre-

ated directly on the game.  To create these

new screens, you will need a personal com-

puter with a PC card reader/writer, a graph-

ics program to create graphics and two 8

MB PC cards.  Complete instructions can be

found on the Merit Industries website

(www.meritind.com).
