SAFETY NOTICES
The following safety instructions apply to all game owners. We recommend that you read this page before
setting-up your Golden Tee game. Use the following safety guidelines to help protect the system from potential
damage and to ensure your personal safety.
• Use with only 115 volts/60Hz
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system power cables into properly grounded power sources.
These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter
plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3 wire
cable with properly grounded plugs.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a
surge suppressor, line conditioner or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Do not spill food or liquid on your system.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by
shorting out interior components.
• Keep your game far away from radiators and heat sources.
• Do not block cooling vents.
• Be sure to turn off power before working on the machine
• Be sure to use fuses which meet the specified rating. (5A, 220V Quick-blow). Using fuses exceeding
the specified rating can cause a fire and electrical shock.
• When working around the monitor, be extremely careful. Monitor parts are subject to high tension
voltage. Even after turning off power some portions are still subject to high tension voltage. Monitor
repair and replacement should be performed only by technical personnel who have knowledge of
electricity and technical expertise.

INITIAL SETUP
The locations of the On/Off Switch, Service Button, and Display Adjustment Panel are shown in the
illustration below. If for any reason the panels on the machine need to be removed you MUST disconnect the
unit from any power source.

Golden Tee® Fore! –home version Version 03/06 Page 5
Removing the Control Panel Assembly
For ease of movement thru narrow staircases a trained technician can remove the control panel assembly. Unplug
the machine before removing the control panel! The technician will follow these simple steps to remove the
control panel:
1. Remove only the two screws circled in the following picture.
2. Once the screws are removed simply grasp the control panel, at the side nearest the screen, and gently pull
upward. The panel is hinged at the front and will swing open. Once the panel is open, locate the latches on
both sides and release them.

Golden Tee® Fore! –home version Version 03/06 Page 6
3. After the latches are released grasp the bottom of the panel and gently pull up and out about six inches until
the panel stops are reached, then locate the video connector and separate the connection. The A/C power
connector for the power supply must also be disconnected.
4. Now that the wiring is disconnected it is safe to remove the panel. Close the control panel and grasp the
assembly from the bottom and lift about one inch to disengage the stops and pull outward until the panel is
clear of the cabinet.
To reinstall simply reverse the procedures making sure that the video and power connections are tightly
connected, and NEVER force either the connectors or the panels together.

have that option.
At the bottom of most menu screens are displayed the current date and time, next ITNet® call date and time, and the last date and
time ITNet® was called (successful or not). If the last call was unsuccessful, a short error message is displayed on the First Attempt
line.
The MAIN MENU allows you to enter several different areas:
ITNET® COLLECTIONS & AUDITS RESET displays the current machine coin counts, for use in separation of
ITNet® fees from your collections. DO NOT change items on this menu.
VOLUME SETTINGS is used to adjust the volume of your game for your location.
OPERATOR ADJUSTABLES MENU is used for customizing the game to your location including player costs per
game, skill level settings, attract mode sounds, etc.
GAME AUDITS MENU allows you to check your game’s coin, games purchased, course, and lifetime audits.
ITNET® MENU is redesigned to take advantage of many of the ITNet® capabilities including registering your

highlight the item in blue and then press the START button.

Golden Tee® Fore! –home version Version 03/06 Page 9
SKILL LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Golden Tee® Fore! lets you change the skill level needed to play the game. This setting lets you adjust some of the
playing conditions such as slope of the green, wind speed, and putting sensitivity. This is good for locations with
younger/novice players who are less skilled at the game, or expert/accomplished players who demand a greater
challenge.
To set the game to an easy skill level, highlight SKILL LEVEL 1 – EASIEST.
To set the game to a difficult skill level, highlight SKILL LEVEL 5 – HARDEST.
SKILL LEVEL 3 is the default skill level and approximately the skill required for the average player. Sometimes it is
best if the skill level is adjusted gradually over a period of time.
NOTE:
The skill level adjustment will only affect regular play. The ITNET menu options appear but should remain disabled for predictable machine
operation.
ATTRACT MODE SOUNDS
This menu is used to adjust the sounds that are heard while no one is playing the game.
ATTRACT MODE SOUNDS - ON ALWAYS will play sounds during every attract cycle.
ATTRACT MODE SOUNDS - ON OCCASIONALLY plays sounds about every ten to twelve times the attract mode
is repeated. This is the default.
ATTRACT MODE SOUNDS - OFF will not allow any sounds to be played during the attract mode.

Golden Tee® Fore! –home version Version 03/06 Page 10
GAME RESETS
The GAME RESETS menu will cancel or zero out any custom features or bookkeeping figures that are no longer
wanted.
RESET OPERATOR ADJUSTABLES TO FACTORY SETTINGS will return the game’s adjustable settings (volume,
skill level, etc.) to factory defaults.
RESET RECORDS ONLY FOR <COURSE NAME> is used to reset the statistics and information like “Longest Drive” for each of the 7
stroke-playable courses (5 if you don't have EXtra) individually..
RESET ALL COURSE RECORDS ONLY is used when you want to clear the records for all courses on Golden
Tee® Fore!
RESET ALL OF THE ABOVE is used when you want to do a broad reset and bring the game completely back to its
original “out-of-the-box” settings for all operator adjustables and course records.
DELAY TIME ADJUSTMENT
This allows for changing the delay of game time. A player’s game will terminate if no activity is detected for a set
amount of time. Use this setting to adjust this time delay.
DELAY OF GAME TIMEOUT - The game will give the player a penalty stroke if they have not taken any action after
this amount of time. This function can be set from as little as 25 seconds to as high as 2 minutes. The default is set
to 00:25 (25 seconds). Note: The first hole will give the player a longer 2-minute timeout.
DELAY OF GAME TIMEOUT ON - The TIMEOUT can be disabled by selecting NO. We recommend leaving this
YES so the game will return to the attract mode if a player walks away from a game in progress. The default is set
to YES.

Golden Tee® Fore! –home version Version 03/06 Page 11
CLOSEST TO PIN MENU
OPERATOR CTP OFF OR (ON - # OF MINUTES) lets the operator turn on CTTP mode on his game for a varying
set of minutes. By keeping this at OFF instead of a time frame it will keep the game in regular mode. If they choose
a set of minutes and exit all the way off then it will prompt the operator with a message saying they are entering
CTTP mode and then reset the game. Once the time is up that the operator has selected they can choose to have it
run for another 15 minutes or let it time out and reset the game putting it back into regular play mode.
ACTIVATE CTP SPONSOR ON/OFF lets the operator enable or disable the ability for selected sponsors to swipe a
special card that lets them "rent" the machine from the operator. It puts the game into the special CTTP mode but
not until they've paid for a selected amount of time. Once their time is up they can let the machine reset back to
normal or put more money in to rent the machine for a longer period of time.
HOLE-N-WIN MENU
DO NOT tamper with or make changes to this menu.
Version 4.00.00 and higher offers operators the ability to earn additional revenue with the ITNet® online feature
Hole-n-win! Players pay an additional amount of money for an opportunity to win money. Part of the player-
supported funds is given back to operators on their monthly ITNet® billing statement.
HOLE-N-WIN OFF disables the Hole-n-win! feature. All screens in the attract mode are hidden and the player is
never offered a Hole-n-win! opportunity. Use this if you find out your location is ineligible to run Hole-n-win!
HOLE-N-WIN ON (DEFAULT) enables the Hole-n-win! feature on your machine. This is the default all games are
set to and has all screens in the attract mode visible to all players. This then gives players, in the game, an
opportunity to win money.

Golden Tee® Fore! –home version Version 03/06 Page 12
The Hole-n-win! Status shows the last date that someone won a Hole-n-win! on that specific machine. It will then
show you the date that Hole-n-win! becomes re-available on that machine or if it is currently available already what
courses qualify for Hole-n-win!
GAME AUDITS
The GAME AUDITS MENU will supply you with a detailed accounting of helpful and informative bookkeeping and
statistics.
DISPLAY GAME PURCHASE AUDITS is designed to help in bookkeeping purposes. This screen has a similar format to the Player Cost
Schedule, displaying the game types that were selected by players.
DISPLAY COURSE AUDITS is a breakdown of how many games were played on each course. Note that 18 hole,
Front 9 and Back 9 games are displayed with code version 2.01.06 and higher.
For version 4.00.00 and higher, Total Hole-n-win! Attempts are included on this screen.
