Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing the Game Gate™ VU, the most advanced and
exible arcade solution available. The VU is designed to bring cutting edge video games to
your best venues by using a home video game system and games. Public use of this device
in conjunction with the XBox 360® or PLAYSTATION®3 requires a license for the hardware
and the software. Quasimoto has gone to great lengths to make this opportunity a legal real-
ity. The license is restricted to titles available, and not every game for a specic game system
is authorized. Registration and license is mandatory. Quasimoto is not responsible for any
misuse of the Game Gate™ VU. Please take the time to learn about the affordable license
program required to operate the equipment. You will need to register for the product to func-
tion.
If this is your rst time setting up the machine, start from the beginning of this manual and
move page by page. You are only minutes away from operating the arcade of your dreams.
If you have any questions during the installation process please feel free to contact us at any
time.
The Federal Copyright Act (Title 17 of the U.S. Code) governs how copy-
righted materials, such as video games, may be used. Neither the rental
nor the purchase of a game carries with it the right to show the game pub-
licly outside the home, unless the site where the game is used is properly
licensed for public exhibition.
Ownership of the game and the right to use it publicly are two separate issues. The copyright
holder retains exclusive public performance rights.
This legal copyright compliance requirement applies to schools, public libraries, day-care
facilities, parks, recreation departments, summer camps, churches, private clubs, prisons,
lodges, businesses, etc..
This legal requirement applies:
* Regardless of how the games are obtained
* Whether or not an admission fee is charged
* Whether the facility or organization is commercial or non-prot
* Whether a federal, state or local agency is involved

1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
During product installation and inspections, pay special attention to the following key
points to ensure a safe gaming experience for the user.
Mishandling the product or lack of compliance with the key points stated below may lead
to personal injury or damage of the product.
WARNING
- Turn the power off to the product before performing any work. Leaving the power
on during work may lead to an electric shock or short circuit. In the event that the
work requires the power to be on, this manual will clearly state to that effect.
- Conceal power cords and ground cables at all times from public surface (i.e. oor,
pathway, etc.). If left exposed, the power cords and ground cables may become
damaged. Damaged cords and cables are dangerous as they may cause an elec-
tric shock and/or a short circuit.
- Do not place anything on the power cords or ground cables. This may cause
damage to the cords or cables and may cause a re and/or an electric shock.
- Do not put any unnecessary tension on the power cords or ground cables after
product installation as this may cause a re and/or an electric shock.
- If the power cord is damaged, promptly contact the distributor from which the
product was purchased for a replacement cord. Using a damaged cord may cause
a re and/or an electric shock.
- Take care to correctly ground the product. Improper grounding may cause a re
and/or an electric shock.
- Use only fuses with the correct specied rating. Installing fuses outside the spec-
trum of the specied rating may cause a re and/or an electric shock.
- Ensure the connector connections are properly and securely connected. Loose
connections may cause a re and/or an electric shock.
- Specication changes (including but not limited to equipment relocation, conver-
sion, part removal/addition) not designated by the manufacturer, Quasimoto Inter-
active, Inc., are not permitted.
- Failure to follow this key point may lead to a re, an electric shock, and
may also lead to injury by the user, operator, and onlooker.
- Quasimoto Interactive, Inc. shall not be held responsible for any accidents
or compensation for damage to a third party that are the result of product
specications not designated by Quasimoto Interactive, Inc.

- The product uses an LCD monitor. The LCD screen can be easily damaged.
Use caution during cleaning. For further information, see the section on “Care
and Maintenance”.

this game kiosk. As such, manufacturers may discontinue or alter the specica-
tions of such multi-purpose components. In the event this happens, Quasimoto
