1. LEGAL INFORMATION

1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following safety instructions apply to all game owners. We recommend that you
read this page before setting-up Ultimate Arcade. Use the following safety guidelines to
help protect the system from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety.

• Use with only 115 volts/60Hz

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system power cables into properly

grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding
prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3 wire cable with
properly grounded plugs.

• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).

• Do not spill food or liquid on your system.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose your

system to rain or moisture.

• Do not expose your system to dripping or splashing.

• Do not push any objects into the openings of the system. Doing so can cause fire

or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

• Keep your game far away from radiators and heat sources.

• Do not block cooling vents.

• Be sure to turn disconnect the power cable before working on the machine.

• Be sure to use fuses which meet the specified rating. (5A, 220V Quick-blow).

Using fuses exceeding the specified rating can cause a fire and electrical shock.

• When working around the monitor, be extremely careful. Monitor parts are
subject to high tension voltage. Even after turning off power some portions are
still subject to high tension voltage. Monitor repair and replacement should be
performed only by technical personnel who have knowledge of electricity and
technical expertise.

2. GAME SETUP

2.1 PRE-GAME INSTALLATION

Remove the game from the shipping container. Included with the game; is an envelope
containing the game keys, SYSTEM RECOVERY CD, and this manual. The Ultimate
Arcade is pre-configured from the factory for immediate play so no software installation
is necessary. Connect the wall cord to a grounded (3-terminal) AC wall outlet. The
following precautions should be followed when installing the game:

• Avoid rough handling of the game; the picture tube is fragile.

• Install the game on a level surface.

• Avoid installing the game where it will receive excessive sunlight or heat,

to protect the game from rising internal temperatures.

• Do not install in a damp or dusty location.

• For a short time after connecting the power to the game, the picture may

be temporarily distorted.

The monitor’s purity is affected by the Earth’s magnetic field, causing a variation

of color. By turning the game on for 10 or 15 seconds and then off for 20 or 30 minutes
the automatic degaussing circuit applies a degaussing field around the edges of the
monitor. Doing this a number of times will correct the problem.

Another way to correct the problem is to purchase a degaussing coil or bulk tape

eraser at any electronics store. This will help to immediately demagnetize the video tube.
Caution must be used with a degaussing coil so that the magnetic field of the degaussing
coil is not allowed to become too intense at any one place on the picture tube, thereby
causing a localized color distortion.

Primary monitor adjustments are located behind the faux coin door.

2.2 ON / OFF SWITCH

The On/Off switch is located on the top of the machine in the back right

hand corner.

Press the test button which is located behind the faux coin-door to access the

ARCADE SETUP MENU. The test button can be accessed without opening the faux
coin-door by pressing the coin-return button. If you want to limit access to the TEST
button, open the faux coin door and control panel, loosen the nut on the back of the TEST
button and move it to the left. Be sure to retighten the nut. To choose a menu option,
move the arrow or cursor so that the desired option is highlighted. This is done using the
player one joystick. When the desired option is highlighted, press player one, blue button
one to select it and enter that submenu. In this manual the term “highlight” will mean to
position the arrow over the desired option. The term “select” will mean to press player
one, blue button one. The exit option on all menus will always go back to a previous
menu.

After you press the test button, you will see the ARCADE SETUP menu which will
allow you to access the following:

3.1 LANGUAGE

Move the joystick to the left and right to access the following languages: English,
French, German, Swedish, Italian, and Spanish.

3.2 SOUND VOLUME

This menu option allows you to set the Sound Volume level between one and ten. To
adjust, highlight Sound Volume on the ARCADE SETUP MENU (Fig. 3-1) and move
the joystick to the left or right. Sound for the entire system can be turned off by setting
the value to ZERO.
