SAFETY

The following topics should be studied to ensure maximum reliability and safety for both serviceman and customer. Shock Hazard: The high voltage present on the monitor may be very dangerous. Extreme caution must be used when working with or around the monitors. Be certain that the grounding strap is attached to the monitor frame. The picture tube in the monitor is also a hazard and should be handled with care. Do not strike, scratch, or subject the tube to more than moderate pressure as it may implode causing serious injury from flying glass. Be certain that the control panel, power supply, monitor, and coin door are all properly grounded to the ground wire inside the line cord. Do not remove the ground prong off the plug end.

You are able to exchange the cassettes on this type of board. When replacing cassettes, please follow the procedure set out below:

1. Turn off the power.
2. Remove the cassette. When removing a cassette please pull it out straight.
3. Insert the new cassette. When inserting a new cassette, please place a magazine or the like under the mother-board to prevent it from being bent. Please pay attention to the direction of the cassette before attempting to insert it. (The cassette will not fit into the sockets if you try to place it in backwards.)
4. Please place JP1 into the position for replacing cassettes.
5. When the power is on, data transmission will start to occur, so please leave the board alone and wait for a while (it takes approximately 10 minutes). If an error message occurs, check such things as the connection to the 12V power source or the actual voltage of the power source. (Please use a stable 12V voltage power source.)
6. When the data transmission has completed, please turn the power off and return JP1 to its normal position.
7. Turning the power back on will start the game operating.

NOTES OF CAUTION

1. Always make sure the power is off before installing or removing PC boards or their cassettes.
2. Removal of the serial number stick affixed to this board, or alteration of the board without consent, will result in loss of subjectivity to warranty period.
3. Please use an edge connector that conforms to the JAMMA standard. Alterations such as scraping off the edge section of the PC board are a cause of malfunction, so please desist from such actions.
4. The circuits have a battery packed memory system. Please refrain from carrying out conductivity inspections with such tools as circuit testers as these can cause short circuits.
5. When transporting PC boards, please wrap them in sponge rubber or bubble wrap and place them in cardboard boxes. Take care to prevent exposure to strong shocks or jolts.
6. When replacing sub-boards, place a support such as a magazine or a book under the mother-board to prevent it from being bent.
7. Please use a stable 12V power source.
8. It is not usual for there to be some noise in the sound at start-up.
9. Turning the volume up to maximum when set to stereo output may cause the sound to become strange, but this is not a malfunction. If this occurs, either turn down the volume or, change the 12V power source by increasing the current to about 2 AMPS. (i.e. change the power supplies current not the voltage.)
