3.14.6.Replacing The DIMM Board Battery Pack

3.14.6.1.Warnings And Restrictions Concerning The Battery Pack

Observe the following precautions when handling the DIMM board's battery pack. Sega cannot assume responsibility for any problems that arise from handling the battery pack in disregard of the guidelines set forth in the manual.

• Do not disassemble the battery pack and the batteries.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the internal wires and/or protective

devices may be damaged; as a result the safety system may not function when discharging and recharging, eventually causing an over heating, fire and explosion. If you should disassemble the batteries, the generated gases may harm your throat and the negative plate may overheat and make a fire.

• Do not make an external short circuit of the battery pack and the batteries.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the batteries may overheat, make a fire,

and explode.

• Do not fire the battery pack and the batteries.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the batteries may make a fire and

explode.

• Do not leave the battery pack and the batteries nearby the heat source (fire or heater) or under the intense direct sunlight and flaming sun. If you should fail to observe this instruction, the batteries may reduce the service life and in the worst case may overheat, make a fire, and explode.

• Do not leave the battery pack and the batteries in water or seawater. Also do not apply water or seawater onto the battery pack and the batteries. If you should fail to observe this instruction, the internal wires and/or protective devices may be damaged; as a result the safety system may not function when discharging and re charging, eventually causing an overheating, fire and explosion. Also water may be electrolyzed into oxygen and hydrogen, and eventually the battery's sealed section may be corroded and the internal liquid may leak.

• Do not solder on the battery pack's terminals.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the armor may be heated and melted or

the internal wires may be damaged, eventually causing an overheating, fire and explosion. Also, when the battery's temperature reaches to 100C or more, the battery may leak its internal liquid due to destruction of its plastic parts (gasket, separator, etc.), or may overheat, make a fire, or explode due to internal short-circuit.

• Do not insert or connect the battery in a reversal polarity.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the battery may be externally short-

circuited and eventually overheat, make a fire, or explode, depending on the device you connect with.

• Do not tightly seal the battery pack when installing it onto an external device.

• Flammable gas is generated from the battery when its safety mechanism has

functioned. If you should fail to observe the above-described instruction, sparks from motors, switches, etc. may cause the gas to fire. Therefore, install the battery pack so that the gas can be quickly released from the external device.

• Do not use the battery pack for the device/usage other than this game system.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the battery and/or the device may be

damaged due to non-applicable specifications.

• Do not strike a nail in, hammer, step on, or apply any other forms of pressures and shocks on, the battery.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the battery may be deformed. As a result, the battery may burst at its sealed sections to leak the internal liquid, or may be shortcircuited internally to overheat, make a fire, and explode.

• Do not use a battery charger because any battery charger is not usable for this battery pack.

• If you should fail to observe this instruction, the gas may be suddenly generated in the battery and eventually the battery may overheat, make a fire or explode.

• If the battery in use or in keeping shows an abnormal indication (deformation, change of colour, bursting of the armour cover, etc.), immediately stop using or keeping it. If it leaks and smells abnormally, immediately keep it away from fire and put it in a safety box.

• If the liquid leaks from the battery and gets in your eyes, do not rub your eyes but immediately wash them with clean water (city water etc.); and consult a medical doctor for a treatment. If you should fail to observe this instruction, the liquid may harm your eyes.

• The battery pack armour (a polyvinyl chloride tube) may be damaged or deformed by external force or heat. When transporting the battery pack or replacing it with a new one, therefore, be careful not to drop or excessively shock it. Do not continue to use any damaged or deformed battery pack. If you should fail to observe this instruction, the battery may overheat, make a fore, or explode.

• The battery pack contains a printed circuit board (PCB) for protective circuitry. It may be destroyed by the static electricity. When handling or servicing the battery pack, therefore, take preventive measures against the static electricity.

• If your battery pack has shown destruction of a protective circuitry PCB, do not continue to use it. If you should fail to observe this instruction, the battery may overheat, make a fore, or explode.

• When wiring the battery pack to a device, be careful not to apply excessive force onto the connectors and lead wires. The battery may overheat, make a fire, or explode if the connectors and lead wires are damaged.

• Do not do away with the used battery packs carelessly because they may contaminate the environment. Submit them to an industrial waste disposal plant.

• Be sure to dispose of the used battery pack in accordance with relevant national laws and/or local regulations.

If the GD-ROM drive appears to be taking too long to read the disc, the battery pack on the DIMM board may need replacing. The battery pack should last approximately 16 months under normal usage.

There is no recharging unit for the battery pack. Follow the steps listed below to replace the battery pack.

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 in Section 3.14.5 to remove the cover.

2. Unplug the battery pack's connector.

• Due to the length of the network cable, the distance in between the machines is limited. However, to avoid accidents, be sure to secure space in excess of 70 cm between the machines.

• To perform work safely and avoid serious accident such as the cabinet's falling down, do not perform work in places where step-like grade differences, a ditch, or slope exist.

• To perform work safely, be sure to secure the space corresponding to number of machines to be linked. Failure to observe this can cause accident.

• To avoid accidents, use a cable cover that will not cause patrons to trip when laying network cables in areas of heavy foot traffic.

• To prevent accidents and acts of vandalism, cover the network cables with the strongest cover possible.

• Network play is not possible between game machines with different cabinet types.

When connecting several games machines together, make sure that a sufficient amount of electrical power is available for each machine. Plan on providing 15A for each machine in 100-120V locations, and 7A in 220-240V locations.

3.14.8.1.1.1.Spacing of Game Machines

Leave at least 70 cm of space between game machines.

3.14.8.1.2.Connecting Network Cables

To enable network play, the hubs inside each of the game machines involved must be connected with network (LAN) cables. Connect the hub inside one of the machines to the hub in the other machine using LAN cables. There is no need to connect the other machines to each other in any other way.

Do not connect LAN cables between twin machines when they are not used for network play.

1. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Place the power cord so as not to damage it while working.

2. Using the illustration on the previous as reference, move the machines so that they are lined up. Leave enough space on the front lid side of the machine to perform the rest of the operations in this procedure.

3. Remove the lower back lids of machines denoted ‘L’ on back.

4. Remove the front covers on both machines.

5. Take off the required hole lids at the ends of the AC covers (see diagram above).

6. Route a spare LAN cable through both machines connecting both hubs. Any of the ports 2 or above can be used to connect to any of the other game machines.

7. Replace all lids and covers.

8. Once the machines have been linked for network play, line them up. Leave as much space as possible between the machines.

9. Secure all adjustors on each machine. (See Section 3.7.3)

10. Connect the power cord and grounding wire for each machine. (See 3.7.8)

3.14.8.1.3.Network Play Settings

Each of the linked machines must be set up for network play. If the machines are not set up correctly, network play will not be possible.

3.14.8.1.3.1.How To Set Up A Machine For Network Play

1. Turn off the power on each machine to be used in network play.

2. Enter Test mode on each machine. (See Section 5.1)

3. Select GAME TEST MODE and press the TEST Button. The machine will enter Game Test mode and the screen will display the Game Test menu. (See Section 5.2.10)

4. Select NETWORK SETTINGS from the Game Test menu and press the TEST Button. The Network Settings screen will appear. Network settings are carried out on this screen.

NETWORK SETTING

LINK NUM 2(2•`4) GROUP A(A•`Z) NUMBER 2(1•`4)

-> EXIT

SELECT WITH SERVICE BUTTON AND PRESS TEST BUTTON

5. Set the LINK NUM setting on the Network Settings screen to the number of game machines linked for network play.

6. Set up the GROUP setting on the Network Settings screen. The GROUP setting is used to divide the machines linked for network play into groups. For example, a network of 4 machines could be divided into 2 groups of 2 machines.

7. Set the NUMBER setting on the Network Settings screen so that each machine within a group has a different number. Make sure that one machine in each group is set to "1".

8. Exit Test mode on each machine. Be sure to choose EXIT from the System Test Menu to exit Test mode properly.

9. Once each machine has exited Test mode and gone through initialization, it will begin a network test. During the network test, the monitor will display a network test screen.

10. If there are no problems with network play settings or cable connections, the machine will enter Advertising mode.

11. If the advertising screen appears after the network test is finished, network settings are complete.

12. The network test should last roughly 20 to 30 seconds. If the network test screen fails to disappear, the problem is most likely due to one of the following: incorrect settings, an improperly connected LAN cable, a faulty LAN cable connection, or a severed wire.

3.14.8.1.4.General Precautions Regarding Network Play

• When setting up machines for network play, settings such as the game's difficulty level will be derived from the machine whose "NUMBER" is set to "1". If settings on machine "1" are changed, the other machines will have their settings changed accordingly. On machines other than "1", settings derived from machine "1" will not be displayed on screen and cannot be changed.

• Should a network connection fail during network play, gameplay will be suspended and the Network Error Screen will be displayed.

• If one of the units attached for network play enters Test Mode, the other unit will display the same Test Mode Screen.

• Even when units are connected for network play, each seat, each game may be given different cost settings. Incorrect cost settings may cause budget balancing problems.

Note that when 2 or more machines are linked together for network play, some functions are different than for stand-alone machines.

Whenever Test mode is used on a machine linked for network play, all machines connected to the network will display the network test screen. When patrons are engaged in network play, do not enter Test mode on any of the machines in the network, even if the machine is not in use.

However, machines whose GROUP setting is different from that of the machine entering Test mode will not be affected.

3.15. Periodic Check And Inspection

The items listed below require periodic check and maintenance to retain the performance of the machine and ensure safe operation:

• Be sure to check annually to see if the power cords are damaged. The plug is securely inserted and that there is no dust in the interior of the machine or between the socket and the power cord. Using the product in an unclean condition may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Only QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL should carry out periodic checks.
