WARNING: TRANSPORTING GAMES.

The VGM contains glass and fragile electronic devices. Use appropriate care when
transporting. Avoid rough handling when moving the cabinet. Do not move with the
power switched on.

WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER.

Always turn the power OFF and unplug the VGM before attempting service or adjust­ments unless otherwise instructed. Installing or repairing boards with power switched on
can damage components and void the warranty.

WARNING: GROUND GAMES.

Avoid electrical shocks! Do not plug in a VGM until you have inspected and properly
grounded it. Only plug this game into a grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a
“cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the line cord.

WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS.

The VGM system does not utilize an isolation transformer. Internal cabinet AC is not iso­lated from the external AC line.

WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE.

If you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can
fly eight feet or more from the implosion.

CAUTION: CHECK POWER SELECTOR, LAMP.

Set the 115/230VAC selector on the power supply for the correct line voltage. Check the
selector setting before switching on the VGM. Verify that the fluorescent lamp assembly
is correct for the local line voltage.

CAUTION: USE PROPER FUSE.

Avoid electrical shock! Replacement fuses must be identically rated. Fuse voltage and
current ratings must be identically rated to the original fuse.

CAUTION: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY.

Be sure board connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip on easily, do not force
them. A reversed connector may damage the VGM and void the warranty. Connector
keys only allow a connector to fit one set of pins on a board.

CAUTION: USE CARE WHEN SHIPPING HARD DISKS.

The hard disk drive must be packed in an anti-static bag. When shipping the drive for
repair or replacement, pack it in an approved container (P/N 08-8068). Do not stack or
drop hard disk drives.

WARNING: HAZARD TO EPILEPTICS.

A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause them to experi­ence epileptic seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain
kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These per­sons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or play­ing certain video games. People who have not had any previous seizures may
nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condi­tion (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before
using any video games.

We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you
or your child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle
twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions,
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.
