Notice Regarding Non-Atari<. Parts
WARNING
Use of non-Atari parts or modifications of
any Atari game circuitry may adversely affect
the safety of your game, and may cause in-
jury to you and your players.
You may void the game warranty (printed on the inside back cover of this manual) if
you do any of the following:
• Substitute non-Atari parts in the game.
• Modify or alter any orcuits in the game by using kits or parts not supplied by Atari
Games Corporation.
NOTE
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not in-
stalled and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to
radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of Federal Cornmunic~tions
Commission (FCC) Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area or modification to this equipment is likely to cause in -
terference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatev-
er measures may be required to correct the interference. If you suspect interference
from an Arari game at your location, check the follOWing :
• All ground wires in the game are properly connected as shown in the game wiring
diagram.
• The power cord is properly plugged into a grounded three wire outlet.
• On games provided with an Electromagnetic Interference (EM!) ground plane, be
sure the game printed -circuit boards (PCBs) are properly installed on the EMI
Groul'l.d Plane. If you are still unable to solve the interference problem, please con -
tact Customer Service at Atari Games Corporation. See the inside front cover of this
.manual fot service in your area.

Safety
Summary
The
following safe
ty
precautions apply
to
all game operators and servi
ce
personnel. Specific warnings
and
cautions
will-
be
f
ound
in
this
manual
whenever
they apply.
WARNING
Properly
Gr
o
und
th
e Game. Players
may
receive an electrical shock
if
t
hi
s game
is
nor properly
grounded! To avoid electrical shock,
do
not
plug in the game until
it
has
been
inspected
and
properly
grounded. This
game
should
be
on
ly
be
plugged into a grounded three-wire
outlet
If you have only
a cwo-wire outle[,
we
re
commend you hire a licensed electrician to install a three-wire
grounded
out
-
let.
If
the
control -panel
is
no
{ properly grounded, players may receive an electrical shock! After senric-
ing any part
on
th
e
co
nt
rol
panel, check that the grounding wire
is
firmly
secured
to
the
inside
of
the
control panel. After you have checked
this,
Jock
up
the game.
AC
Pow
er
Connection.
Before
you
plug in the game,
be
sure that'the game's
power
supply
can
ac

cept
the
AC
line voltage in

1000tion. The line voltage requirements are listed in the first
chapter
of
this manua
l.
Disconnect
Power
During
Repairs.
To avoid eleruical shock, disconnect
the
game
from
the
AC
power
before
rem
oving
or
repairing any part
of
the game. If you remove
or
repair
the
video display,
be
very careful to avoid electrical shock. High
vo
ltages continue
to
exist
even
after
power
'is discon·
nected
in
the
display circuitry
and
the cathode-ray
tube
(eRn.
Do not tou
ch
the
internal parts
of
the
display with
yo
ur hands or with metal objects! Always discharge the high voltage from the
CRT
before
servicing it.
Do
this after you disconnect it from the power source. First, attach
one
~n d
of a large,
well·insulated, 18-gauge jumper wire
to
ground. Then momentarily touch the (ree
end
of
the
ground-
ed
ju
m
per
wire to the
CRT
anode
by
sliding the wire under the anode cap.
Wai
t
['Wo
minutes
and
do
this again.
Use
Only
Atari
Parts.
To maintain the safery
of
your Atari game, use only Atari parts
when
you
repai!
i
t.
Using non-Atari
parts
or
modifying
the
game circuitry may
be
dangerous, and
could
injure
you
and
your
players.
Handl
e
the
CRT With
Care.
If you
drop
me
CRT
and
it
breaks,
it
may implode! Shattered glass from
the
implosion
can
fly
six feet
or
more.
Use
the
Proper
Fuses
. To avoid electrical shock, use replacement fuses
which
are specified in
the
pans
list
for this game. Replacement fuses must match those replaced in fuse rype, voltage rating, and
current rating. In addition, the fuse cover
mustbe
in place during game operation.
CAUTION
Properly
AttachAll
Connectors.
Make sure that the connectors
on
each printed circuit
board
(PCB)
are
properly plugged in. The connectors are keyed to
fit
only
one
way. If
they
do
not
slip
on
easily,
do
not
force them. If
you
reverse a cOlUlector, it may damage your game and
void
your
warranty.
Ensure
the
Proper
AC
line
Frequency.
Video games manufactured for
operation
on
60
Hz line
power
(used
in the United States) must
not
be
operated in countries with
50
Hz
Hne
power
(used
in
Europe). If a 60 Hz machine operates
on
50 Hz line power, the fluorescent line ballast transformer will
overheat
and
ca
'use a potential fire hazard. Check the product
id
entification label
on
your machine for
the
line frequency required.

Set-Up
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not plug in the cabi-
net until
it has been properly inspected and set up
for the line voltage in your area.
This cabinet should
be connected to a grounded
three.-wire outlet only.
If you have only a two-
wire outlet, we recommend that you h ir e a 1i~
censed electrician to install a grounded outlet.
Players can receive
an electrical shock if the cabi-
net is not properly grounded.
Inspecting the Game
WARNING
Do not plug in the game until you have complet-
ed the following inspecti on steps.
Please inspect your Toobin' game carefully
to ensure
that the game
is complete and was delivered to you in
good condition. Figure 5-1 shows the locations of the
component parts of the game. Table 1-1 li sts space,
power, and environmental requirements.
Inspect the factory-assembled game
as follows:
1. Examine the exterior of the cabinet for dents, chips,
or broken parts.
2. Unlock
and open the rear access panel. Unlock and
open the coin doors. Inspect the interior of the cab-
inet as follows:
a. Ensure that all plug-in connectors
(on the cabinet
harnesses) are firmly plugged in. Do
not force
connectors together. The connectors are keyed
so they fit only in the proper orientation. A re-
versed edge connectorcan damage a pn'nted-cir-
cuit board (PCB) and will void your warranty.
