A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching TV pictures or playing video games. Players who have not had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

Consult your physician before playing video games if you have an epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms while playing video games: altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion and/or convulsions.

SETTING UP

TTER

On the front of the Menacer loosen the screw on the battery compartment and insert four (4) “AA” batteries as indicated inside the compartment (alkaline batteries recommended). Replace the battery compartment door.

The screen may be blurred and resetting the game may not work. Be sure to install fresh batteries. There is also no memory function. All game data will be erased when the power is turned off or batteries are replaced.
