9. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
10. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
11. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
12. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the appa-
ratus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
The exclamation point
within an equilateral tri-
angle is intended to alert
the user to the presence
of important operating and
maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the litera-
ture accompanying the ap-
pliance.
The lightning flash with ar-
rowhead, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert
the user to the presence of
uninstalled “dangerous volt-
age” within the product’s en-
closure. This voltage may
be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of elec-
tric shock to persons.

Site Preparation
In determining the location for your
Megatouch Gametime™ video game, con-
sideration must be given to a suitable,
grounded electrical outlet. Since the game
is a computerized device, it should be con-
nected to a separate grounded circuit. If a
separate circuit is not available, care should
be taken to provide a clean and constant
voltage. As a basic guideline, never con-
nect the unit to a circuit that also supplies
power to freezers, coolers or other high
power consuming and electrical noise-gen-
erating equipment. Place the game in a loca-
tion where nothing will interfere with proper
ventilation. The game should not be exposed
to any dripping or splashing liquids. Objects
filled with liquid should not be placed on the
unit.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not expose this ap-
paratus to rain or moisture. The power
cord on the rear of the unit is the dis-
connect device and must remain
readily accessible after installation.

Setting up your Game
1. After removing the game from the car-
ton, plug the game into a standard AC
outlet.
NOTE: All packaging materials should
be retained in the event the game needs
to be sent in for service.
2. Turn the power switch at the back of
the game to ON and wait for comple-
tion of the boot-up sequence. The game
will display the Player Menu Screen.
3. 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 Touchscreen Calibration).
4. There are many custom settings avail-
able for the game. To customize the
settings, follow the software instruc-
tions in this manual.

Game Description
The Megatouch Gametime unit has an
Ethernet coupler installed in the rear of the
game (see Figure 1). The coupler can be
used for broadband Internet connection or
linking two or more games together for head-
to-head play. The game also has a wireless
adapter which can be used to automatically
wirelessly link to another game or wirelessly
connect to a broadband Internet connection
(this requires the purchase of an 802.11
wireless router). An optional keyboard up-
grade is also available for purchase through
your local authorized dealer (part number:
KAV-100-014-01). The keyboard allows you
to easily type text in a Web browser. There
is also a centronics connector on the back
of the game which is used for future soft-
ware upgrades.
Control Board Compartment
The control board compartment is located at
the rear of the game (see Figures 1 and 2).
Loosen the two thumbscrews to open the
compartment. The buttons on the control
board are explained below.
SETUP
Press SETUP to access the software op-
tions. These options are explained in the
software section of this manual. If SETUP is
pressed during boot-up, the on-screen DIP
switch program will launch. Consult the DIP
SWITCH SETTINGS section of this manual
for more information.
CALIBRATE
Pressing the CALIBRATE button will take
you through the steps to calibrate the
touchscreen. This is sometimes necessary
if the touchscreen is not responding prop-
erly to touch. See Touchscreen Calibra-
tion for detailed instructions.
MONITOR CONTROLS
The five buttons labeled Auto, Exit, Left,
Right, and Menu adjust the monitor settings.
See Monitor Adjustment Procedure for
detailed instructions of each button.
General Care and Maintenance
Touchscreen Calibration
•Press the CALIBRATE button, located
in the control board compartment (see
Figure 2). Touch the center of the first
cross that appears on the screen.
Once you release your finger, a sec-
ond cross will appear.
NOTE: You must hold your finger on
the circle for approximately 2 seconds
for the calibration to be recognized.
•Touch the center of the second cross
that appears on the screen.
•Once the second cross is touched and
released, another cross will appear on
the screen. To test the calibration of
the screen, touch the cross with your
finger and slowly drag your finger
around the screen. The cross should
follow your movement.
•Touch the EXIT button, then perform
the operation a second time for high
resolution.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure
The vertical/horizontal controls and bright-
ness/contrast controls are located on the
control board (see Figure 2).
Pressing the button labeled Menu on the
control board will show an on-screen dis-
play of the monitor settings. Use the Left
and Right buttons to move through the menu.
Touch Menu to select the option you want to
change. Use the Left and Right buttons to
change the option. Then press Menu again
to deselect the option. Auto will automati-
cally adjust the size and brightness. Touch
the Exit button to exit. Adjust the monitor
controls until the screens look as suggested
in the following steps:
1. Set the game to the Checkerz game
screen.
2. Adjust the vertical and horizontal size
and vertical and horizontal position to
make sure that the game screen fills
the monitor screen and that the game
screen is centered.
3. Adjust the brightness and contrast con-
trols until the top sets of checkers are
a rich red and the bottom set are a dark
gray. The feet on the “Checkerz”
character should be white. (Adjusting
the brightness and contrast can also
correct a lack of sharpness.)
Cleaning the Cabinet
•The cabinet should be cleaned with a
dry cloth and mild detergent. Always
apply the cleaner to the cloth and not
directly on the game. Liquids could
enter the cabinet and damage electron-
ics inside.
Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor
•The touchscreen glass should be
cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-
pyl alcohol or a non-ammonia cleanser.
Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-
based cleansers, as they will damage
the touchscreen glass. Always apply
the cleaner to the cloth and not directly
to the glass. Liquids could enter the
cabinet and damage electronics inside.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE
SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED
CLEANSERS ON THE TOUCHSCREEN
OR SIDE DECALS. SUCH CLEANSERS
COULD HARM THE TOUCHSCREEN
AND ERASE THE DECALS. BE CARE-
FUL NOT TO USE COMMERCIAL
CLEANERS CONTAINING ANY OF
THESE SUBSTANCES.
Cleaning the Fans and Vents
•The fans and vents should be cleaned
of any dust and grime on a regular
basis to ensure proper ventilation of
the game.
•To ensure proper operation of the
game, it is important that all fans are
operating correctly and that the airflow
is unobstructed. Make sure nothing is
placed next to the fan vents that would
inhibit the flow of air. Also, if any fans
are not operating, it is important that
the game be sent in for service.
Watchdog Timer
This game has been equipped with a fea-
ture that allows it to automatically reboot if it
encounters a problem. When the watchdog
timer is enabled, it will reboot the machine
within 2 minutes after a failure, allowing the
game to automatically reset itself if a prob-
lem arises without needing a technician
present.
