Safety Notices

loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These
persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. People who
have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness),
immediately consult your physician before using any video games.
Parents should observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child experience the following symptoms: diz-
ziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions,
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.

container (P/N 08-8068) in order to be sent in for repair or replacement. Do not stack or drop hard disk
drives during installation or removal.
CAUTION. Transport machine securely, as it contains glass and fragile electronic devices. Avoid
rough handling and never move cabinet while power is on.
CAUTION. Verify switch on the power supply is set for 110VAC or 220VAC according to local line
voltage. Verify fluorescent lamp is correct for local voltage.
WARNING. Avoid electrical shocks. Do not plug in line cord until machine has been inspected and
properly grounded. Use only a fixed-location grounded 3-wire outlet. Do not use a "cheater" plug or
cut off ground pin on line cord
WARNING. This video game machine has no isolation transformer. There is no isolation between the
internal cabinet AC system and the external AC line.
WARNING. To avoid electrical shock, turn off power switch and disconnect from AC power source
before removing or repairing any component. After servicing, ensure all ground wires are secure
before restoring power.
NOTICE. Ensure proper mating of all connectors. If a connector does not slip on easily, do not force.
Reversed connectors may damage your machine and void the warranty. Connectors are keyed to fit
specific pins on each board.
WARNING. To avoid electrical shock, all replacement fuses must match the type, voltage rating, and
current rating of the original fuse.

MAINTENANCE
Viewing Glass
You need not switch off AC power to clean the glass. Apply a mild glass cleaner to a clean cloth or
sponge, then use this to wipe the viewing glass. Do not apply cleaner directly onto glass. Liquid could drip
down into video game machine circuits or onto detectors and cause erratic operation.
Cabinet

this to wipe the controls or cabinet. Do not apply cleaner directly on controls or cabinet.
