Safety Symbols and
Information When required, information is provided in procedures about potential challenges and dangers. The
terms WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE are used for specific safety reasons. For emphasis,
WARNING and CAUTION appear beside the characteristic triangle symbol. Table 1 lists notice
icons used in this guide.
Table 1 Notice Icon Descriptions
Icon/Format Description
NOTE: Information note about important features or instructions but is not critical data.
CAUTION: Caution alerts you to potential damage to a program, system, or device.
WARNING: Warning indicates a situation that may cause personal injury or death.
WARNING: Warning indicates a situation that may cause personal injury or death due to a
potential electrical hazard.
ESD: ESD alerts you to take proper grounding precautions against electrostatic
discharge (ESD) before handling a product.

3Preventing Injury and Damage
16-020834-00
Preventing
Injury and
Damage
This section provides instructions for preventing electrical injury and protecting components from
ESD damage.
Prevent Shock and
ESD Depending on the procedure, one or more of the measures listed below must be taken to prevent
electrical shock and/or electrostatic discharge (ESD) when servicing the game.
Power Game or Top Box OFF at the Power Switch
The game and, if applicable, the Top Box, have a red Power Switch that must be set to OFF when
servicing the game.
ESD Wrist Strap
Fasten a resistive type (1 or 10 Meg) ESD wrist strap on arm and ensure that it makes good skin
contact, Figure 1-1 (A). Secure the clip end of the wrist strap to a ground braid on a game.
Figure 1-1 ESD Wrist Strap on arm.
Disconnect Power Cord from Game (When not Handling ESD-Sensitive Equipment)
Disconnect the Power Supply Cord from the Power Entry Assembly, Figure 1-2 (A), and, if
applicable, the Top Box Line Cord from the outlet. If one is installed, remove the Hopper to access
the Power Entry Assembly.
WARNING: Disconnecting the game Power Supply Cord is the only means of disconnecting the
game from power.
Figure 1-2 Power Supply Cord plugged into Power Entry Assembly.
Special Instructions
for PCBs Whenever accessing any printed circuit boards (PCBs) or components in direct contact with
PCBs, including EPROMs, CompactFlash® Cards, and PCB connectors, use the following
procedure to prevent ESD damage to sensitive components.
CAUTION: Opening the game and unplugging the Power Supply Cord defeats the grounding
system on the game, as the grounding pin on the Power Supply Cord ultimately connects the game
to ground.
1Verify that the game power switch is set to OFF.
2Verify that the ESD wrist strap is firmly secured to a game ground braid.
3Connect/reconnect the Power Supply Cord to the Power Entry Assembly.
4Complete all necessary PCB or component handling steps.
5If additional steps are required for this procedure, ensure the game power switch is still set to
Off, and disconnect the game Power Supply Cord before proceeding.

Introduction The Bluebird Upright cabinet (BBU) from WMS is designed from an end-user point-of-view.
Listening to their customers and technicians, engineers designed Bluebird with a lower button panel
and a modified coin tray to provide both comfort and security. The sound system features two mid-
range speakers for an encompassing audio effect. Operators and technicians will also find that the
cabinet is revolutionary with its dual-support Hopper/Printer capability and reversible DC coin
Hopper, and the ability to fit a wide-range of Bill Acceptors.
This chapter provides basic information about the gaming machine and the procedures for the initial
setup. The game is delivered mostly assembled and only requires a review of the components, light
assembly, and preparation for software installation and configuration.

To understand the size of the game cabinet, see the dimensions (in inches) of the game in
Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Dimensions of BBU with 7'' Top Box (left), 12'' Top Box (center), and 13'' Round Top (right).
Weight The weight of the game is provided in Table 1-2.
CAUTION: The maximum weight of a game is 452 lbs. (205 kg). Verify that any non-WMS game
stand specifications meet this weight requirement before mounting the game. Using inadequate
game stands voids the WMS Warranty and may lead to distortion of the game cabinet, including the
inability to close and lock the Main Door.

Power Dissipation Table 1-3 lists the power dissipation and BTU ratings for the BBU-Video and BBU-Video Dual
Screen. Current values for all machines are based on a 120VAC configuration, with Bill Acceptors
installed.
The British Thermal Units (BTUs) were calculated by using the following equation:
BTUs = 3.413 * voltage * current
Any decrease in BTUs due to actual work performed (spinning Hopper motor) was neglected. The
BTU calculation for game play should be used when determining air conditioning requirements, as
Hopper payout occurs infrequently when compared to standby and play conditions.
Features: Doors The BBU features easy serviceability and quick access to parts:
The BBU Main Door and Lower Door provide access to many of the internal components,
