Megatouch Live Requirements
Your ML-1 requires a broadband Internet connection in order to function. Please
be sure that the location has an active broadband Internet connection available.

NOTE: If you have not completed a Megatouch Live Operator Agreement, please
contact AMI Tech Support at 800-523-2760.
Site Preparation
Indetermining 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, coolers or other high
powerconsuming andelectricalnoise generatingequipment.Place the gamein a location
where nothing will interfere with proper ventilation. The game should not be exposed to
anydripping or splashingliquids. Objects filledwith liquid shouldnotbe placed onthe unit.

CONNECTION to confirm and use this wired connection. Skip to step 10.

simply touch USE THIS INTERNET CONNECTION and skip to step 10.
