2. Depending on the style of your cabinet, the card reader blank plate can be located next to the
coin door or just above it, as shown in the picture below. Using a 3/8" wrench, unbolt the
flat card reader blank plate from inside the control panel.
3. If your cabinet does not have a hole for a card reader, you will need to cut one.
a. Remove the card reader from its mounting plate and use the mounting plate as a template
for cutting a hole for the card reader.
b. Place the mounting plate on the cabinet in one of the locations shown in the picture at
step 2. Make sure that there is nothing on the inside of the cabinet that may interfere with
the card reader installation.
c. Mark the holes in the mounting plate for the card reader and carriage bolts. Cut the hole
(approximately 2-9/16" x 4-1/8"), and drill 1/4" holes for the carriage bolts. You will
need four (4) 10/24 or 10/32 x 1-1/4" carriage bolts, nuts, and washers to install the card
reader.
4. Install the Card Reader Graphics sticker to the left of the card reader opening, as shown in
the picture below. If there is no space to the left, install the sticker directly below the card
reader opening.
5. Connect the USB cable to the card reader and a USB Port on the back of the computer.
(Refer to Figure 3 on page 8 for computer connections.)

6. Install the card reader with the wider part of the card reader shell on the top, as shown in the
pictures below. Use the same bolts that held the blank plate in place to secure the card reader
to the cabinet. Tie-wrap the USB cable to the cabinet so it will not be caught or pulled.
This completes the card reader installation.

1. Connect the telephone cable to the LINE connector on the modem, as shown in the picture
below. (Also refer to Figure 3 on page 8 for computer connections.)
2. Refer to the picture below and use one of the three options for getting the telephone cord
outside of the cabinet.
• Option 1: If your cabinet has a slot in the back door, run the cable out through the slot.
• Option 2: Drill a hole in the back door, and pass the cable through the hole.
• Option 3: Bend two air slots and pass the cable through the opening.
3. Connect the telephone cable to an existing, working analog phone line. Use the 3-way phone
splitter if you need to connect more than one device to the same phone line.
4. If you will be using a broadband connection rather than an analog phone line, connect a
CAT-5 Ethernet cable (not provided) from the Ethernet port on the computer to your
network.
This completes the cabinet hardware upgrade for EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR®GOLF
Tournament Play configuration.

Tournament Play Operators Card
Once you have the Tournament Play System hardware installed, you will need to order your
Operator Card and register your cabinet to participate in Tournament Play golf games. Once you
have ordered your card, please allow 7—10 business days for delivery.
It is very important to keep your Operator card in a safe place at all times, as it is used for
all functions of setting up and registering your cabinet for Tournament Play.
The Operator Card holds your Tournament Play Registration ID Number. Each time you register
a cabinet, your Operator Card ID is uploaded to the GLOBAL VR®Tournament servers.
GLOBAL VR®sets up an automatic billing cycle for Tournament Fees. Depending on the
billing cycle you choose in your Operator Account Setup form, you will be charged the
appropriate tournament fees each time you register or re-register a cabinet with your Operator
Card. You will need a credit card or checking account to set up the account. Once the account is
set up, you will automatically be billed for Tournament Fees.
If you wish to cancel automatic billing for Tournament Fees, you will need to contact the
GLOBAL VR®Accounting department at 408.597.3400 and request cancellation of your
automatic billing cycle. Tournament Fees are non-refundable and must be canceled 30 days in
advance of the next automatic bill date.
To register for an Operator Card, fill out the Operator Account Setup Form, and
mail or fax it to GLOBAL VR®.
Mail to: GLOBAL VR, 2350 Zanker Road, San Jose CA 95131
Fax to: 408.597.3431

Start Guide for Operators.
