Site Preparation

In determining the location for your
Megatouch Ion™ video game, consideration
must be given to a suitable, grounded elec-
trical outlet. Since the game is a computer-
ized device, it should have a separate cir-
cuit, if at all possible. If a separate circuit is
not available, care should be taken to pro-
vide a clean and constant voltage. As a
basic guideline, never connect the unit to a
circuit that also supplies power to freezers,
coolers or other high power consuming and
electrical noise generating equipment. Place
the game in a location where nothing will
interfere 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.

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.

Turn the power switch at the back of
the game to ON and wait for it to go
through its boot-up sequence. The
game will display the Main Menu Screen.

If you have a Mega-Lease™ game, you
must follow the steps in the MegaNet®
User Manual to connect to the server
in order to activate your game.

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 software instruc-
tions in this manual.

Game Description

The Megatouch eVo model has 2 key-locked
compartments: the CPU section and the cash
tower section. It comes equipped with a
coin mech and/or bill acceptor. This model
also has couplers installed in the rear of the
game which are used for future hardware
upgrades including linking and modem ca-
pabilities. Each game comes equipped with
a wireless USB adapter which can be used
to wirelessly link two Ion games together by
simply turning the games on. With the addi-
tion of a wireless router, up to four games
can be linked and also connected to the
Internet. For more information, see

Wire-

less Setup

The eVo also has several additional wall
mounting kits. There is also an available
stand on which to place the game. Contact
your distributor to purchase any of these
additional parts.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible from the front
of the game. The CPU section houses the
LCD monitor, motherboard, I/O board, power
supply, hard drive, and the main harness.
Located on the control board (found inside
the CPU section near the hinge of the CPU
section door) are two internal switches,

SETUP

and

CALIBRATE

(see Figure 30).

Pressing the

SETUP

button will bring you to

the Megatouch Setup Screen. See the next
section for calibration instructions.

Cash Tower Section

The coin mech/coin box/bill acceptor are ac-
cessible from the rear of the cabinet. The
cash tower is locked for security purposes.
See Figure 29. The coin mech is secured by
the metal tab to the left of the mech. For
electronic mechs, pull the tab to the left in
order to release the mech. For mechanical
mechs, you must first remove the coin pod
cover by removing the two screws located
on the bracket above the coin mech.

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. THE GAME SHOULD ALWAYS BE

UNPLUGGED BEFORE SERVICING

Touchscreen/Joystick Calibration

How To Calibrate:

•

Find the CALIBRATE button on the con-
trol board inside the CPU section, and
press it to enter screen calibration
mode.

•

Touch the center of the first cross that
appears. Once you release your fin-
ger, 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.

If you have high resolution enabled (it is de-
faulted on), the game will prompt you to go
through the same steps again for high reso-
lution mode.

•

The game will then prompt you to cali-
brate the joystick. Move the joystick as
far left as it will go, release the joy-
stick, and then press one of the but-
tons on the joystick.

NOTE: The joystick may not appear to
be functioning correctly during cali-
bration, but it is important that you
continue the calibration steps. After
calibration has been completed, it will
function properly.

•

Move the joystick as far right as it will
go, release the joystick, and then press
one of the joystick buttons.

•

Move the joystick as far up as it will go,
release the joystick, and then press one
of the joystick buttons.

•

Move the joystick as far down as it will
go, then release the joystick and press
one of the joystick buttons.

•

Then, without touching the joystick,
press one of the buttons on the joy-
stick to complete calibration.

•

Touch the

EXIT

button.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure

The vertical/horizontal controls and bright-
ness/contrast controls are located on the
control board, inside the CPU section near
the hinge of the door. Pressing the button
labeled

Menu

on the control board will show

the on-screen display on the monitor. Use
the Left and Right buttons to move through
the menu. Touch Menu again to select the
option you want to change. Use the Left
and Right buttons to change the option. Then
select Menu again to deselect the option.
Auto will automatically adjust the size and
brightness. Touch the Exit button to exit.
Adjust the monitor controls until the screens
look as suggested in the following steps.

Set the game to the Checkerz 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 top sets of checkers are
a rich red and the bottom set are a dark
gray. The feet on the

“Checkerz”

character should be white. (Adjusting
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 mother-
board. There is a danger of explosion if the
battery on the motherboard is incorrectly
replaced. Only replace the battery with the
same type recommended by the manufac-
turer. Dispose of used batteries according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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 Joystick

•

The joystick 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 housing and damage elec-
tronics 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.

Watchdog Timer

This game has been equipped with a fea-
ture that allows it to automatically reboot if it
encounters a problem. When the watchdog
timer is enabled, it will reboot the machine
within 2 minutes after a failure, allowing the
game to automatically reset itself if a prob-
lem arises without needing a technician
present.

If you want to disable the watchdog timer,
set DIP switch 3 on the I/O board to the open
position and reboot the game.

PROFILE OF COIN MECH BRACKET

Coin Mech Position- eVos with Coin Mechs Only

If you remove the coin mech for any reason, you must replace it in the correct
notches in the coin mech bracket so that the mech remains vertical. If your
game is sitting on a table or bar top, make sure the tabs on the coin mech are in
the notches labeled “BAR MOUNT” below. If your eVo is mounted on a wall (with
or without the use of the swivel bracket), make sure the tabs on the coin mech
are in the notches labeled “WALL MOUNT” below.

Connecting a Printer (German Games Only)

To connect a printer to the game as needed:

Locate the printer port on the back of the game (see Figure 29).

When the game enters idle mode, connect the printer to the printer port on the game.

and entered idle mode, the printer will begin printing. Do not disconnect the
printer until it is finished printing.

Um einen Drucker an eine Maschine anzuschliessen:

Den Druckeranschluss hinten am Gerät feststellen (Siehe Fig. 29).

NOTE: If the game is set to 3 or 6 Credits for a Dollar, prices will display as Credits.

FIGURE 2 - QUICK PRICE SETUP SCREEN

The operator can also use this screen to determine whether prices are displayed to players
as credits or monetary amounts, and set the cost of Fast-Play Amusement, Standard Amuse-

Coin-In 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 ad-
just the cost of a credit, as well as provide a
way to give players “bonus” credits for de-
positing a higher amount of money. On the
Cash-In and Credits Table, the “

” and “

”

buttons are used to change the number of
credits, while the corresponding price value
for the credits is entered by pressing the

Edit

button in that row.

NOTE: The “Edit” button will bring
up a numbered keypad, limited to 2
decimal places. The Cash-In and
Credits Table is ordered, so values
must be set in increasing increments
from top to bottom of the screen. The
final two values, however, can be
entered as “0”, which is the equivalent
of N/A. As each row on the table is
filled in, the “Edit” button will appear
for the subsequent row below it.

Similar to the Cash-In and Credits Table, when
programming the Channels on the Coin-In
Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value
coin, Channel 2 for the next highest value,
etc. The meter pulse, which is the highest
common divisor of all the monetary values
of the Channels, is independent of the cred-
its and only tracks the smallest unit of cur-
rency. Operators can use this number to

FIGURE 3 - COIN-IN MENU

determine the amount of money earned on a
game by multiplying the meter pulse by the
reading on the hard meter.

NOTE: Changing the values of the
Channels on the Coin-In Menu may
change the meter pulse. Therefore, a
Cash Settlement Collection should be
performed prior to adjusting the Chan-
nels in order to accurately reflect coin
drop based on the hard meter reading.
Adjusting the Channels will not affect
the Cash-In and Credits Table, which
performs a separate function on the
Coin-In Menu.

To give customers bonus credits for insert-
ing larger denominations, manually adjust
the credits earned per dollar value on the
Credit and Values Table. Coins may be de-
posited in any combination of values and
the game will automatically register the high-
est number of credits for the total amount of
coins deposited. Once a game is played,
any remaining fractional credits are saved
and applied to the next purchase.

NOTE: It is recommended that if you
are enabling bonus credits, that the
game be set to display in credits and
not money. If the game is set to display
in money, all money values will be
based on the value of 1 credit, which is
typically the most expensive credit.

The type of currency registered can be ad-
justed by touching the

Change Currency

button at the bottom right-hand corner of the
Coin-In Menu. Touching the

Default Set-

tings

button just below it will return the Coin-

In Menu to its factory settings. This setting
can be adjusted (as described previously),
but will return if the game memory is cleared.

11 MEGATOUCH ION EVO OWNER’S MANUAL PM0426-19

Coinless Coin Op Menu

When enabled via the Options button on
the Credits/Pricing Menu, the Coinless Coin
Op feature allows the operator to charge
on a per-game or per-time basis without
players inserting money into the game. The
total amount owed after gameplay is tallied
by the machine and collected by the location
owner. Location owners reset the game
with a PIN after collection.

NOTE: If you have set a tax fee on the
Cash Settlement Screens, Coinless Coin
Op Mode play will be taxed at the set
rate. If you want to set the tax
percentage at a different rate for
Coinless Coin Op mode and regular
mode, you should perform a Cash
Settlement Collection, change the tax
rate and then switch modes.

Certain features will not be available in
Coinless Coin Op Mode, such as MegaNet
content, Merit Money, Promo Credits, Free
Credits, TouchTunes® music and AMI
jukebox music. Pricing for these features
can only be displayed in currency values,
not credits.

FIGURE 4 - PLAYER MENU IN COINLESS

COIN OP (TIME AND PER GAME MODES

Time pricing can be changed on this screen
with the up and down arrows. The
currency amount will apply to each 15-
minute time block selected by the customer.

Setting the PIN

Touch the Set PIN button on the Coinless
Coin Op Menu to program the PIN. The
number can be from 1 to 5 digits.

NOTE: The Coinless Coin Op PIN can
also be set from the Player Menu.
Touch the Options button, enter the 6
Star PIN, and touch the CCO Set PIN
button.

Disabling the Money Inputs

It is recommended that the money inputs be
disabled when the game is in Coinless Coin
Op mode. Unplug the power and signal
harness connected to the bill/note acceptor
and the harness connected to the coin
mech (if applicable) to disable the inputs.

Per-Game Mode

When players choose this mode, a running
total of the amount owed is maintained and
displayed in the CREDITS box on the
screen. The total is tabulated after each
game or function. The location owner then
collects the total amount owed at the end
of gameplay. If there is no activity for 10
minutes, the machine will disable and the
amount owed by the player will display on
screen. No further gameplay can occur
until the machine is reset by a location
employee using the PIN.

Time Mode

The price per 15-minute time block will be
displayed before players choose this
mode. During gameplay, the time remaining
and amount owed by the player will be
displayed on screen. When the time block
runs out, players can purchase additional
time. Otherwise, the machine will disable
and the amount owed by the player will
display on screen. No further gameplay
can occur until the machine is reset using
the PIN. If the player leaves the game
before the purchased time block has ended,
the game can be reset using the PIN.

Resetting or Freezing the Game

The game can be reset at any time using
the pre-programmed PIN. Once gameplay
totals have been tallied by the machine, the
attendant can also choose to freeze the
game to prevent more activity until the
transaction is complete. The Reset or
Freeze buttons are accessible through the
Options button on the Player Menu after
touching the Coinless Coin Op button. An
alarm will begin to sound after 3 failed
attempts to enter the valid number when
entering the PIN to reset the game. The
alarm will terminate when the machine is
rebooted, the operator SETUP button is
pressed, or the correct PIN is entered.

AMI Jukebox Mega-Link Setup

In available markets, your Force or Ion Mega-
touch game(s) may be linked with an AMI-
powered jukebox by utilizing the Mega-Link
feature, which allows customers to view
and play jukebox music selections directly
from the Merit touchscreen. To enable the
link, you will need a broadband Internet con-
nection, a router and Ethernet cable(s) (if
you are not using wireless). It is recom-
mended that you set up and configure your
router prior to initiating the Mega-Link. Once
the router is configured, follow the instruc-
tions below for hardware and software
setup.

NOTE: Some Force games do not sup-
port Super High Resolution and thus
cannot be linked to a jukebox. These
games include Force Radion and Clas-
sic, as well as Force conversions from
Slim, Select and EZ Maxx models.

Additionally, all games linked to a
jukebox must be running 2006.5 soft-
ware (V21) or greater. To determine
what version of software your game is
running, push the SETUP button in-
side the cabinet. The program infor-
mation will be displayed in the lower
left corner of the first screen that ap-
pears. Following the PG3002 will be
the version running on your game.

NOTE:

Megatouch games that are con-

nected using the Mega-Link system must
have the same level of software for proper
operation. The software is designed to de-
tect other levels of software in linked games.
If a different level is detected, you will re-
ceive a screen that says, “MEGA-LINK MIS-
MATCH CALL ATTENDANT.” This screen will
be displayed approximately 5 minutes after
you turn the games on. To clear the screen
and continue playing the games, you must
turn the power off, unlink the games, and
turn the power back on again. If you want
to link these games you must upgrade all
games to the same software level.

Hardware:

Ensure that both the jukebox and your
Megatouch game are turned off and
unplugged before making any con-
nections.

Unlock and open the jukebox door to
locate the unit’s interior router.

Insert the Ethernet (Category 5) cable
through the access hole in the rear of
the jukebox, then connect the cable to
the interior router.

NOTE: If the jukebox is mounted to
the wall, it may be necessary to tem-
porarily dismount it to properly run
the Ethernet cable.

Connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to your external router.

Wired connections:

Connect a sepa-

rate Ethernet cable to the Ethernet cou-
pler on the outside of your game, then
to the router. Plug in and turn on the
jukebox and your game.

Wireless connections:

Plug in and

turn on the jukebox and your game,
then continue with step 1 in the

Overview

The Local Tournament is a completely programmable tournament promotion system, allowing
players to compete for a prize pool based on the income from premium-priced tournament
games. The top three scorers, at the completion of a tournament, are entered into the
Winners’ List for retention until they claim their prizes. The game can be set to use cash
prizes or redemption points depending on local laws.

Up to four tournaments can be programmed to run simultaneously. The settings for each
tournament, including game cost, rounds, starting time, ending time and date, duration and
prize pool, can be independently programmed to provide maximum flexibility and promotional
potential. Each tournament can be further programmed to be a single, repeating tournament
game or a sequence of different games, which change for each tournament period.

Players who achieve one of the three high scores during a tournament must enter their
name, along with their own personal identification number (PIN). Should they finish as one
of the three highest scorers in that tournament, the PIN will be used to ensure positive
identification of the player. Provided an attendant is present, prizes may be claimed anytime
after the completion of a tournament. Once the prize is awarded, it is noted on the Winners’
List and is accounted for in the bookkeeping statistics.

Local Tournament Mode

NOTE: If you have dual tournament mode and are switching from TournaMAXX
to Local Tournament Mode, you will need to perform an “Update From Server”
before changing modes. To do so, touch the “Update From Server” button on
the TournaMAXX Menu.

To maintain accurate bookkeeping statistics, it is also advised that you per-
form a Cash Settlement Collection before proceeding to Local Tournament
Mode.

NOTE: The transition from TournaMAXX to Local Tournament requires that the
game be switched from ON-LINE to OFF-LINE mode. From the System Menu,
choose “Options”, then touch the OFF-LINE button. If you are returning to
TournaMAXX, you must return to this screen and select ON-LINE.

When the hard drive passes the test it will display
a "CHECKSUM GOOD" message and continue to
boot up into the game attract screens. This
indicates a coin jam.

lock up with a "CHECKSUM ERROR" message,
which will stay on the screen until the power is
turned off. In this case, the hard drive will have to
be replaced.

•

"DISK BOOT

This message indicates the motherboard is not receiving data from the
hard drive and has locked up.

•

Check the IDE ribbon cable connections to the motherboard and
hard drive.

•

Check the power to the hard drive. It should have +5 volts, +12
volts, and ground.

•

“QUANTUM
FIREBALL,
SMART FAILURE
DETECTED,
BACK UP HARD
DRIVE”

The self-diagnostics on the hard drive has detected an error.

•

The hard drive will have to be replaced.

•

“CRITICAL

RETRY FAIL” or
“BAD COMMAND
OR FILE NAME”

•

Try reloading the program onto the hard drive with a different set of
update discs compatible with the security key. If it will not accept the
download, try another DVD drive. If it still does not work, replace the
hard drive.
