Site Preparation
In determining the location for your
Megatouch video game, consideration must
be given to a suitable, grounded electrical
outlet. Since the game is a computerized
device,itshould haveaseparate circuitifat
allpossible. If aseparate circuit isnot avail-
able,careshould betakento provideaclean
and constant voltage. As a basic guideline,
never connect the unit to a circuit that also
suppliespower to freezers,coolers orother
high power consuming and electrical noise
generating equipment. Place the game in a
location where nothing will interfere with
proper ventilation. The game should not be
exposed to any dripping or splashing liq-
uids.
NOTE: After turning off the unit, wait
60 seconds before turning the game
back on. This will allow the game to
properly reset.
Setting up your Megatouch Game
1. Remove the game from the carton.
2. Open the additional box and use the
instructionsprovidedtoattachthedrink
arms to the game.
3. Attach the power cord to the back of
thegameneartheON/OFFswitch. Plug
the game into a standard AC outlet.
4. Turn the power switch at the back of
the game to ON and wait for it to go
through its boot-up sequence. At the
completion of the boot-up sequence,
the game will display the Player Menu.
5. The machine has been preset at the
factory and therefore should not need
to be adjusted; however, it is recom-
mended that the screen be calibrated
(see ScreenCalibration)andthecoin
or bill acceptor(s) be tested.
6. There are many custom settings avail-
able for the game. To customize the
settings, follow the instructions begin-
ning with the Main Menu section in this
manual.
Game Description
The gameis housedin a 61.25”upright cabi-
net. It should be located on a sturdy, level
surface. Thebottom of thecabinet has four
leg levellers to make any necessary adjust-
ments. Whenthegame isproperly adjusted,
it should remain stable.
There are 4 key-locked compartments: the
top bezel, monitor bezel, bottom door, and
the cash box door. An additional keyhole is
located on the right side of the game for the
Refill Key. See the Hopper Refillsectionof
this manual for more information.
Three modes are available for gameplay:
Amusement, Money Shoot/Skill With Prize

and Championship Edition). The default set-
ting is S.W.P. only. TournaCHAMP play re-
quires a modem. Championship Edition is
available with the purchase of an additional
kit (part number KUV-113-003-01).
The SETUP and CALIBRATE buttons are lo-
cated on the monitor control board above
the LCD touchscreen (see Figure 1). To
accessthe monitor controlboard, unlockthe
left and right locks on the top bezel. Lift the
bezel. The screen will go blank. Press the
SETUP button and a keypad will display on-
screen. Enteryour PIN code(default is4777)

following procedures to prevent electro-
static discharge:
1. Store the boards in the anti-static bags
in which they are shipped.
2. Remove any static charge from your
body before handling the boards.
3. Use a ground strap when handling the
boards.
•When plugging in connectors to the
board, make sure the connector is
inserted straight onto the header and
that the connector covers all header
pins.
•Do not connect any peripheral device
to the board, if the power is still
connected to the peripheral or if power
is already applied to the board.

The following table provides information on the functionality of the hard DIP switches in
Megatouch games. Make sure to read the information in the Notes column to determine
what is affected when performing these functions. After performing any DIP switch
function, make sure to follow the instructions on the screen. In most cases, you will be
instructed to reset the DIP switch in order to reboot the game. If you fail to reset the DIP
switch before rebooting, it could result in corruption of the hard drive.

software. To access the DIP switches through the software, turn off the game, set DIP
switch 1 to the closed position then turn the power on. When the message “Please
reset DIP 1 to proceed” appears, reset DIP 1 to the open position. The Merit diagnostics
page will appear. Touch ?for information on DIP switch functionality. Touch the specific
DIP switch to activate it. Touch Xto exit.

DIP# Function Usage/Notes
8Motherboard
configuration &
checksum test
•Configures the CMOS settings on the motherboard to Merit
specifications and checks the files on the hard drive.
A checksum test should be performed when the game is locking
up or rebooting. If the test fails, the program should be reloaded
onto the hard drive. After reloading, perform another checksum
test. If it fails again, the hard drive should be replaced.
6Hardware
configuration •Identifies system hardware and configures the motherboard. A hardware configuration occasionally needs to be performed
after a kit is installed and the touchscreen is not responding to
touch or the calibration is off.
5 & 7 Memory clear
for
TournaCHAMP
and
TouchTunes®
•Clears the login name, password, access phone number, and
all call-in settings for TournaCHAMP users.
•Clears all the loaded albums for TouchTunes users.
•Clears current books, coin-in, high scores and resets the
softwareoptions.
A memory clear should be performed when a game is not able
to connect to TournaCHAMP and there is some question about
the information in the Dial-Up Network Screen being correct.
After performing a memory clear, TournaCHAMP setup
information must be re-entered, and an Update From Server
should be performed.
NOTE: TournaCHAMP games must perform an “Update
From Server” BEFORE performing a memory clear.
4 & 7 Complete
memory clear •Clears ALL memory on hard drive including the
TournaCHAMP player database, TournaCHAMP settings,
advertising screens, bookkeeping, high scores, coin-in,
options, etc. It resets the game to the factory defaults. It also
marks bad sectors on hard drive.
A complete memory clear should only be performed when the
game is locking up or resetting and it has passed the checksum
test. After performing a memory clear, the player database
should be reloaded, TournaCHAMP setup information must be
re-entered, and an Update From Server should be performed.
NOTE: TournaCHAMP games must perform an “Update
From Server” BEFORE performing a memory clear.
