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:
• Make sure that the switch on the back of the computer is set to match the AC power in
use at your location:
• 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.
• Do not spill food or liquid on the cabinet.
• 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 system far away from radiators and other heat sources.
• Do not block cooling vents.
Warnings
To avoid electrical shock, unplug the cabinet before performing the
installation procedures.
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 10°-40°C (50°-104°F).

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.

Checking the Game Dongle
Figure 5. Parallel Game Dongle
The cabinet uses a game dongle to activate the game software. The game dongle connects to
the parallel port on the back of the computer.
For a dongle to be recognized correctly, it must be connected to the parallel port before the
cabinet is powered ON. If the dongle is not recognized, power the cabinet OFF, make sure
that the dongle is connected properly, and then power ON to see if this resolves the problem.
If the dongle should come off while the game is running, a NO DONGLE screen will appear.
If this happens, the dongle can be re-installed without rebooting the game.
Note: The dongle supplied with the cabinet is specific to the game and software version.
Future software upgrades may require you to also upgrade the dongle.
Important: Some of your registration information is stored in the dongle, so if you replace
your computer, remove the dongle and keep it with the cabinet.
