Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of
consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or
other light patterns. Such people may suffer a seizure when
playing with computer and video games. This may even affect
people who have no previous medical history of epilepsy and
who have never before had any epileptic seizures. If you or
anyone in your family have ever had symptoms possibly related
to epilepsy (e.g. loss of consciousness or seizures) when
exposed to flashing lights, please consult your doctor before
using the game. Children should always be supervised by their
parents when using computer and video games. Should you or
your child experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred
vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness,
disorientation, or any form of involuntary movements or
convulsions while operating a computer or video game,
IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your doctor before
playing again.

2Introduction and Setting Up
Congratulations on your new MILLENNIUM Games Console. We
hope you will have a lot of fun with it. Please follow the
instructions in this manual to make the best possible use of the
product.
2.1 Product Contents Check
The package comprises the following items:
☺Games console ☺Carrying strap
☺Television cable ☺Instruction manual
2.2 Power Supply
2.2.1 Installing the Batteries
☺Hold the console carefully in the palm of your hand and
open the battery compartment by pressing against the
catch and lifting the cover.
☺The ARCADE 3000 requires three 1.5 volt batteries of the
“AAA” or “LR03” type.

☺Replace the cover of the battery
compartment.

2.2.2 Using Rechargeable Batteries
We strongly advise you to use alkaline batteries. We do not
recommend rechargeable batteries, as these only have a
voltage of 1.2 and therefore supply insufficient power to the
machine.
If you do wish to use rechargeable batteries (which is not
recommended by the manufacturer), they will not damage the
machine but it may function abnormally. In any case, the
period of use (even if they are the special type with more than
650 mAh capacity) will be considerably shorter than with
normal batteries.
2.2.3 Battery Life
As a rule the batteries will last several hours, but this depends
on various factors.
In the first place it depends on always using batteries of good
quality. In addition the battery life is influenced by the volume
of the sound and the use of the TV output.
If you go against our advice and use rechargeable batteries,
the playing time can be expected to be shorter than with good
quality alkaline ones, as the voltage of rechargeable batteries is
only 1.2.
The following are signs of low batteries:
☺The brightness and contrast on the TFT display decrease.
☺The machine suddenly switches off or returns to its starting
screen in the middle of a game.
☺The machine will not switch on.
In these cases replace the batteries to make the machine work
properly again.

2.2.4 Important Battery Information
☺Batteries should only be installed by an adult.
☺Only use batteries of the recommended type (3 x AAA),
and never mix old and new batteries.
☺Batteries must always be inserted with the correct polarity
(+ or -).
☺Exhausted batteries are to be removed as soon as
possible.
☺The battery terminals must never be short-circuited.
☺Do not dispose of exhausted batteries with the household
rubbish. Take them to a hazardous waste depot.
☺Help to protect the environment!
☺Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
☺Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the unit
before charging.
☺Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult
supervision.

clockwise (to decrease it or switch the sound
off).
NB: Please do not turn the volume up too far –
especially when playing with earphones – to
avoid damage to your hearing.
Navigator Functions vary from one game to another. The
navigator usually serves to move an object or
actor in the game; also to select options.

game; also serves to confirm a selected
option.

only).
A & B turbo Perform action (A or B) continuously
(“automatic firing”).
Speaker Emits the sound effects, unless you are using

a standard 3.5 mm jack plug; any
conventional earphones with this connection
may be used.

The TV cable that comes with the machine
should be plugged in here if you want to play
using your television set. For details of how
this works, see the following section.

3Playing with TV Output
A special feature of your ARCADE 3000 is that you may use it
as a TV console so that your television gives you the picture
and sounds.
To do this, your television must meet the following
requirements:
☺It must be a PAL standard set.
☺There must be CHINCH sockets for video (yellow) and
audio (white/red), preferably at the front of the set.
☺If you only have SCART instead of CHINCH sockets, you
may be able to use a SCART adaptor which is obtainable
from a dealer.
Here is how to connect the ARCADE 3000 to the television:
1) At one end of the TV cable supplied with the ARCADE 3000
there is a single thin 2.5 mm jack plug. Insert this into the
TV output socket (10) of the console.
Important: Only do this, when the console is switched off!
2) Insert the yellow CHINCH plug into the yellow (video)
CHINCH socket on your television.
3) Insert the white CHINCH plug into the white (audio)
CHINCH socket on your television.
The red audio socket on the television is not used.
4) Switch on your television set, and select the “video in”
(normally AV) channel. If you aren’t sure how this works,
refer to the instructions for your television set.

5) Switch on the games console. The starting display of the
ARCADE 3000 should now appear on the TV screen. The
console’s own TFT screen and sound output will remain
switched off.
6) Now operate the console in the usual way.
Important Precaution:
When playing with the television, make sure no one can trip
over the cable!
4Trouble shooting
The machine will not switch on
Check whether the batteries are installed correctly (pay
attention to the polarity!) and whether the power is sufficient.
If necessary, insert new batteries.
Check whether you have pressed the button properly.
The picture appears abnormal
There can often be electrostatic charges. The result can be a
flickering display, lines through the picture, or distorted
colours.
If this is the case, switch the ARCADE 3000 off and then on
again, or press the RESET button twice. If the problem still
persists, you may need to change the batteries.
The picture loses brightness and contrast
The batteries are spent and must be replaced.
The speaker has a tinny sound
You may have turned the volume up too high. Turn the knob
the other way to reduce it.
No sound comes through the headphones
Check whether the headphone connection really fits the
machine. Is the plug secured properly? If necessary, try
different headphones.
The machine automatically reverts to its initial display
The batteries may be spent and need replacing.
