Site Preparation

In determining the location for your Megatouch Ion™ video game, consideration must be given to a suitable, grounded electrical outlet. Since the game is a computerized device, it should have a separate circuit, if at all possible. If a separate circuit is not available, care should be taken to provide a clean and constant voltage. As a basic guideline, never connect the unit to a circuit that also supplies power to freezers, coolers or other high power consuming and electrical noise generating equipment. Place the game in a location where nothing will interfere with proper ventilation. The game should not be exposed to any dripping or splashing liquids. Objects filled with liquid should not be placed on the unit.

Setting up your Megatouch Game

1. After removing the game from the carton, attach the power cord to the back of the game near the ON/OFF switch. Plug the game into a standard AC outlet.

2. Turn the power switch at the back of the game to ON and wait for it to go through its boot-up sequence. The game will display the Main Menu Screen.

3. If you have a Mega-Lease™ game, you must follow the steps in the MegaNet® User Manual to connect to the server in order to activate your game.

4. The machine has been preset at the factory and therefore should not need to be adjusted, however it is recommended that the screen be calibrated (see Screen Calibration) and the coin or bill acceptor(s) be tested.

5. There are many custom settings available for the game. To customize the settings, follow the software instructions in this manual.

Game Description

The Megatouch EVO model has 2 key-locked compartments: the CPU section door and the cash tower section. It comes equipped with a coin mech and/or bill acceptor. This model also has couplers installed in the rear of the game. These are used for future hardware upgrades which include linking and modem capabilities. Each game comes equipped with a wireless USB adapter which can be used to wirelessly link two Ion games together by simply turning the games on. With the addition of a wireless router, up to four games can be linked and the game(s) can also connect to the Internet. The Linksys

802.11B router is recommended. For more information, see Wireless Setup.

The EVO also has several additional wall mounting kits, including a direct, recessed, and swivel bracket wall mount. There is also an available stand on which to place the game. Contact your distributor to purchase any of these additional parts.

CPU Section

The CPU section is accessible from the front of the game. The CPU section houses the LCD monitor, motherboard, I/O board, power supply, hard drive, and the main harness. Located on the control board (found inside the CPU section near the hinge of the CPU section door) are two internal switches, SETUP and CALIBRATE (see Figure 24). Pressing the SETUP button will bring you to the Megatouch Setup Screen. See the next section for calibration instructions.

NOTE: Additional “SETUP” and “CALIBRATE” buttons can be accessed through the back of the CPU section, by unlocking the cash tower lock (see Figure 25).

Cash Tower Section

The coin mech/coin box/bill acceptor are accessible from the rear of the cabinet. The cash tower is locked for security purposes. See Figure 25.

General Care and Maintenance

NOTE: THIS GAME MUST ONLY BE SER-

VICED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

CAUTION: THERE ARE HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS IN THIS GAME. BE CAREFUL WHEN SERVICING THE INSIDE OF THE GAME. THE GAME SHOULD ALWAYS BE UNPLUGGED BEFORE SERVICING.

Touchscreen/Joystick Calibration NOTE: If you are using MegaWeb™ or

connecting your game to TouchTunes® product, you must enable high resolution calibration in order to properly view Web pages or activate all of TouchTunes features. All ION machines, except for the Classic, can support this high resolution mode. To enable high resolution:

1. Press the SETUP button located on the control board inside the CPU section.

2. Touch the System Menu button on the first screen that appears.

3. Touch the Options button on the System Menu Screen.

4. Scroll through the options until you see Enable Hi Resolution and touch the box next to this option so that a check appears in the box.

5. A warning that it should not be enabled on Classic games will appear. If you have a Classic game, touch No to exit. If you have any other type of cabinet, touch Yes to continue.

6. The game will now have high resolution enabled. Touch the X button in the upper corner of the screen to exit out of setup. Then continue with the following screen calibration steps.

How To Calibrate:

• Find the CALIBRA TE button on the control board inside the CPU section, and press it to enter screen calibration mode.

• Touch the center of the first cross that appears. Once you release your finger, a second cross will appear.

NOTE: You must hold your finger on the cross for approximately 2 seconds

for the calibration to be recognized.

• Touch the center of the second cross that appears on the screen.

• Once the second cross is touched and released, another cross will appear on the screen. To test the calibration of the screen, touch the cross with your finger and slowly drag your finger around the screen. The cross should follow your movement.

• Touch the EXIT button.

If you have high resolution enabled, the game will prompt you to go through the same steps again for high resolution mode.

• The game will then prompt you to calibrate the joystick. Move the joystick as far left as it will go, release the joystick, and then press one of the buttons on the joystick.

NOTE: The joystick may not appear the be functioning correctly during calibration, but it is important that you continue the calibration steps. After calibration has been completed, it will

function properly.

• Move the joystick as far right as it will go, release the joystick, and then press one of the joystick buttons.

• Move the joystick as far up as it will go, release the joystick, and then press one of the joystick buttons.

PM0426-13 MEGATOUCH EVO ION OWNER’S MANUAL 2

• Move the joystick as far down as it will go, then release the joystick and press one of the joystick buttons.

• Then, without touching the joystick, press one of the buttons on the joystick to complete calibration.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure

The vertical/horizontal controls and brightness/contrast controls are located on the control board, inside the CPU section near the hinge of the door. Pressing the button labeled Menu on the control board will show the on-screen display on the monitor. Use the Left and Right buttons to move through the menu. Touch Menu again to select the option you want to change. Use the Left and Right buttons to change the option. Then select Menu again to deselect the option. Auto will automatically adjust the size and brightness. Touch the Exit button to exit. Adjust the monitor controls until the screens look as suggested in the following steps.

1. Set the game to the Checkerz game screen.

2. Adjust the vertical and horizontal size and vertical and horizontal position to make sure that the game screen fills the monitor screen and that the game screen is centered.

3. Adjust the brightness and contrast controls until the top sets of checkers are a rich red and the bottom set are a dark gray. The feet on the “Checkerz” character should be white. (Adjusting the brightness and contrast can also correct for a lack of sharpness.)

General Circuit Board Handling Information

Before handling any boards, observe the following procedures:

• Prevent Electro-Static Discharge by:

1. Storing the boards in the antistatic bags in which they are shipped.

2. Removing any static charge from your body before handling the boards.

3. Using a ground strap when handling the boards.

• When plugging in connectors to the board, make sure the connector is inserted straight onto the header and that the connector covers all header pins.

• Do not connect any peripheral device to the board, if the power is still connected to the peripheral or if power is already applied to the board.

CAUTION: Be extremely careful when replacing the lithium battery on the motherboard. There is a danger of explosion if the battery on the motherboard is incorrectly replaced. Only replace the battery with the same type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• The cabinet should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth and not directly on the game. Liquids could enter the cabinet and damage electronics inside.

3 MEGATOUCH EVO ION OWNER’S MANUAL PM0426-13

Cleaning the Joystick

• The joystick should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Always apply the cleaner to the cloth and not directly on the game. Liquids could enter the housing and damage electronics inside.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

• The touchscreen glass should be cleaned with a damp cloth and isopropyl alcohol or a non-ammonia cleanser.

Do not use any abrasive or vinegarbased cleansers, as they will damage the touchscreen glass.

NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED CLEANSERS ON THE MONITOR OR SIDE DECALS. OVER TIME, SUCH CLEANSERS COULD HARM THE TOUCHSCREEN AND ERASE THE DECALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COMMERCIAL CLEANERS CONTAINING ANY OF THESE SUBSTANCES.

Cleaning the Fans and Vents

• The fans and vents should be cleaned of any dust and grime on a regular basis to ensure proper ventilation of the game.

• To ensure proper operation of the game, it is important that all fans are operating correctly and that the airflow is unobstructed. Make sure nothing is placed inside the cabinet or next to the fan vents that would inhibit the flow of air. Also, if any fans are not operating, it is important that they be replaced.

Watchdog Timer

This game has been equipped with a feature that allows it to automatically reboot if it encounters a problem. When the watchdog timer is enabled, it will reboot the machine within 2 minutes after a failure, allowing the game to automatically reset itself if a problem arises without needing a technician present.

If you want to disable the watchdog timer, set DIP switch 3 on the I/O board to the open position and reboot the game.

PM0426-13 MEGATOUCH EVO ION OWNER’S MANUAL 4

Coin-In

NOTE: The Coin-In Menu instructions on the current page apply to select markets only. For typical markets, the appropriate guidelines for operation will be found on the following page.

To Enter The “Coin-In” Screen, Touch “Coin-In” on the Credits Menu

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by changing the number of credits required to play a game or by changing the cost of a credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to adjust the cost of a credit, as well as provide a way to give players “bonus” credits for depositing a higher amount of money.

When programming the Coin-In Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Channel 2 for the next highest value, etc. If all six coin inputs are not used, the unused inputs must be set to “N/A”. Adjust the coin/credit/meter pulse settings by touching the up and down arrows on the field you want to change.

COIN INPUT COIN VALUE COINS = CREDITS & METER PULSES

1A 10p 3 1 3 2B 20p 3 2 6 3C 50p 1 2 player premium 25p/credit 5 4D 1£ 1 5 player premium 20p/credit 10

In the above example (UK currency), each game costs one (1) credit and the cost for a single credit is 30p. This method is preferred if you want game cost to always be reflected as “1 credit.”

COIN INPUT COIN VALUE COINS = CREDITS & METER PULSES

1A 10p 1 1 1

2B 20p 1 2 2

3C 50p 1 6 1 bonus credit 5

4D 1£ 1 15 5 bonus credits 10

In the above example (UK currency), the cost of a credit is set to 10p and each game costs 3 credits (for a total of 30p). This method allows game cost to be increased by the smallest unit of currency used (e.g. increasing the cost of Solitaire to four (4) credits would increase the game cost by 10p).

In both examples, note that meter pulses are independent of credits and only track the unit of currency (10p in the examples). Players are given an incentive to deposit more money by giving them “bonus” credits for depositing 50p or £1. Coins may be deposited in any combination of values and the game will automatically register the highest number of credits for the total amount of coins deposited. Once a game is played, any remaining fractional credits are erased.

Generally, most countries have a factory default setting. This setting can be adjusted (as described above), but will return if the game memory is cleared. Some programs, depending on the key used, have a currency default display located to the left of the coin inputs. It shows the currency value for each of the coin inputs. This display is used as a guide and iis not used in any calculations. Touch the currency default display to hide/show the display.

PM0426-13 MEGATOUCH EVO ION OWNER’S MANUAL 10

Coin-In Menu

FIGURE 3 - COIN-IN MENU

When programming the Coin-In Menu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest value coin, Channel 2 for the next highest value, etc. Meter pulses are independent of credits and only track the unit of currency. Players are given an incentive to deposit more money by giving them “bonus” credits for depositing larger denominations. Coins may be deposited in any combination of values and the game will automatically register the highest number of credits for the total amount of coins deposited. Once a game is played, any remaining fractional credits are erased.

Touch the currency default display to hide/ show the display.

To give customers bonus credits for inserting a five-dollar bill, the $5 line must be enabled in the Coin-In Menu. To enable it, enter the Quick Price Setup Screen and select 6 Credits for $1.00, 4 Credits for

$1, 3 Credits for $1.00 or Use Factory Default Pricing. NOTE: You must touch

one of the available options on the Quick Price Setup Screen to enable the $5.00 row. Then, enter the Coin-In Menu and adjust the number of credits in the $5.00 row.

Coinless Coin Op Menu

When enabled via the Options button on the Credits/Pricing Menu, the Coinless Coin Op feature allows the operator to charge on a per-game or per-time basis without players inserting money into the game. The total amount owed after gameplay is tallied by the machine and collected by the location owner. Location owners reset the game with a PIN after collection.

NOTE: If you have set a tax fee on the Cash Settlement Screens, Coinless Coin Op Mode play will be taxed at the set rate. If you want to set the tax percentage at a different rate for Coinless Coin Op mode and regular mode, you should perform a Cash Settlement Collection, change the tax rate and then switch modes.
