Preface
Safety
Please read this page before preparing your arcade cabinet for game play.
The following safety instructions apply to all game operators and service personnel. Specific warnings and cautions will
be included throughout this manual.
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect the system from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety:
•Electronic components in the game cabinet run on 115 VAC. The voltage switch on the back of the computer must
be set to 115. If you power up the computer outside of the cabinet, set the switch to match the local AC voltage:
−115 volts / 60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South
Korea and Taiwan
−230 volts / 50Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East
•To help prevent electric shock, plug the system into a properly grounded power source. 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 increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line
conditioner or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
•Be sure nothing rests on the system's cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or
tripped over.
•Keep your system far away from radiators and other heat sources.
•Do not block cooling vents.
Precautions for Game Operation
•To avoid injury and accidents, people who fall under the following categories should not play the game:
−Those who need assistance when walking.
−Those who have high blood pressure or a heart problem.
−Those who have experienced muscle convulsions or loss of consciousness when playing a video game or similar
activities.
−Those who have trouble in the neck or spinal cord.
−Intoxicated persons.
−Pregnant women.
−Persons susceptible to motion sickness.
−Persons who do not abide by the warning labels on the game.
•A player who has never been adversely affected by light stimulus might experience dizziness or headache when
playing the game. Small children can be especially susceptible to these conditions. Caution guardians of small
children to keep watch over their children during play.
•Instruct those who feel sick during play to see a doctor.
•To avoid injury from falling objects, and electric shock due to spilled drinks, instruct players not to place heavy
items, food, or drinks on the product.
•To avoid electric shock or short circuit, do not allow customers to put hands and fingers or extraneous matter in the
openings of the product.
•To avoid risk of injury from falling, immediately stop customers from leaning against or climbing on the product.

Warnings
To avoid electrical shock, unplug the cabinet before performing
installation or service procedures.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
equivalent power cord available from GLOBAL VR or your
distributor.
GLOBAL VR®assumes no liability for any damages or injuries
incurred while setting up or servicing the cabinet. Only
qualified service personnel should perform installation or
service procedures!
Environmental Conditions
Cabinet is intended for indoor use only. Be sure to keep the cabinet dry and maintain operating temperatures of
59°—86°F (15°—30°C).
FCC Notices (United States)
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal
leads, that endangers the functioning of radio navigation or other safety service, or that seriously degrades, obstructs, or
repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include, but are not
limited to, AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal
Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices
(including computer systems) contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the
electronic environment. While this computer system has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory
agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Re-orient the receiving antenna.
•Relocate the cabinet relative to the receiver.
•Plug the game into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Regulatory EMC representative of GLOBAL VR®or an experienced radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. You may find the FCC Interference Handbook, to be helpful. It is available from the U.S.
Government Print Office, Washington, DC 20402.
This device has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference with radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
you will be required to correct the interference at your own expense.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Chapter 2 — Installing a New Cabinet
Use the following procedure to install a new cabinet:
1. Carefully remove the cabinet from the shipping container, giving yourself plenty of space around
the cabinet. Inspect the exterior of the cabinet for any damage.
2. Remove the keys from the coin return slot. Open the coin door to locate the second set of keys
(see 0).
Figure 2. Coin Door with Key Locations
3. 50" Cabinet: Refer to the document 50" Cabinet Installation Instructions (Part #: 040-0246-
01) for complete instructions on setting up the display stand with the monitor and marquee.
4. 42" Cabinet: Unpack the marquee front. Remove the five (5) nuts and washers from the pre-
installed screws with standoffs, shown by the rectangles below. (Leave the standoffs in place.)
Remove the three (3) wood screws, shown by the circles below, from the back of the support
piece at the top. Use this hardware to secure the marquee front in place on top of the cabinet.
5. Connect the AC power cord to a grounded outlet and power on the game.
6. Play a game to verify everything is working properly.
7. Refer to Chapter 4 for information on using the Operator menus to set up your game.

weapons and fuel for your flamethrower.
6. When your game is about to end, a countdown appears onscreen. To continue, insert coins and
press the START button on your side.
