Safety
MonitorThis section provides safety information on the game monitor.
Removing the Monitor
WARNING: Never remove the Monitor with game power switched On. Otherwise,
damage may occur to the logic and touch screen boards.
Removing liquids
WARNING: Remove any liquids in the drain tube and gutter before removing the
monitor from the cabinet. Failure to dry these areas could damage components!
Before replacing the monitor, check that the V-channel gutter, nozzle, and drain
tube are clear. Reposition the drain tube so that if liquids are spilled on the monitor,
the liquid drains safely away from electronic components.
Handling CRTs and fluorescent tubes with care
Video machines include monitors with fragile cathode ray tubes (CRTs), and most
games contain fluorescent lamp tubes. Fluorescent tubes and CRTs are evacuated
glass containers. The vacuum exerts considerable stress on the glass. Because of
this stress, if you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT, it may implode. Shattered glass
can fly eight feet or more from the implosion. Use extreme caution when handling a
monitor. Determine where you will place the monitor before removing it.
Servicing Monitors
Only qualified service technicians should turn power On when the monitor is out of
the cabinet.
Repairing Monitors
High voltages may exist within the monitor circuitry and CRT even after you
disconnect power.
WARNING: When removing or repairing a monitor, take care to avoid electrical
shock. Do not touch internal parts of the monitor with your hands or metal objects.

Overview
OverviewWMS Gaming Video Lottery Terminals (VLT) function optimally with periodic
maintenance. The following pages contain recommendations for maintenance and
service, as well as general peripheral upkeep for running a terminal that is free of
avoidable service calls.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply cord from the outlet before servicing to
avoid electrical shock.
Servicing and
Transporting
Circuit Boards
This section provides procedures for servicing and transporting circuit boards.
ESD: Always transport a circuit board within a static shielding bag. The static
shielding bag protects the circuit board from the destructive static charge that
emanates from your body or clothes, and from walking across a specific kind of
surface. The location(s) where the board is packed and unpacked also require
proper ESD protection.
Follow the steps below to transport a circuit board:
1 While properly grounded, hold the edge of the circuit board and slide it into a
static shielding bag, Figure 3-1
Figure 3-1 Sliding the circuit board into a static shielding bag.
.
AUGUST 2005
Page 37
Chapte r 3: Mai ntenance
3-3
2 Close the static shielding bag with its zipper, if equipped, or tightly fold over the
end of the bag so the circuit board is completely surrounded, Figure 3-2
. Use an
anti-static sticker to seal the bag.
Figure 3-2 Closing the static shielding bag.
3 Carefully transport the circuit board so that it is not repeatedly sliding within the
static shielding bag. Do not transport through areas with high levels of static
electricity and electrical discharges, especially near or around air conditioning
equipment.
4 Confirm that the destination location is prepared as an ESD protective
environment. An ESD conductive mat and grounded ESD wrist strap are the
minimum requirements.
5 While properly grounded, open the static shielding bag.
6 Hold the edge of the circuit board and slide it out of the static shielding bag.
7 Place the circuit board on an ESD conductive mat to perform maintenance.

Bill ValidatorWith proper handling and routine preventive maintenance, you can eliminate most
Bill Validator malfunctions. The following procedures assure top performance from
your JCM World Bill Acceptor
CAUTION: The JCM Bill Validator has one DIP switch bank with eight switches. The
factory setting for these DIP switches is all switches OFF. DO NOT CHANGE THESE
SETTINGS! Changes can cause the Bill Validator to malfunction.
Bill Validator LEDsLit LEDs indicate that the Bill Validator is normal. If the LEDs go out, the VLT has
probably shut down the Bill Validator. Otherwise, all LEDs have burned out. This
situation is quite unlikely. Routinely check the LEDs to see if they remain lit. If not,
then service the validator.
CleaningThis section provides important information on keeping the Bill Validator clean.
Mag Sensor Parts
Regular cleaning is imperative. Sometimes iron filings adhere to the magnetic head
and head roller. Filings can prevent your Bill Validator from receiving bills.

EventAn event is a specific action of input or output coming to or from a component
within the system. Event logs are particularly useful for troubleshooting problems
occurring on a game. Some events are routine status reports about something you
probably know, such as “Main Door Open”, and others are procedural or security
related, such as “Setup Menu Entered”. Other types of events report error
conditions that prevent game play, such as “No Comm Event: Out of Service No
Host 202”. The event history log is a chronological listing of the machine's last 500
events, Figure 4-57
