Failure to properly install and operate this game could result in malfunction or accident. Operate the game in accordance with the manual. TRANSPORTING Cabinet is very heavy and contains fragile components. Use appropriate care when moving or transporting cabinet. Avoid rough handling. HANDLING COMPONENTS Many components are extremely sensitive to handling, environmental and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) events— especially the computer. Do not handle it roughly. Before servicing, call your distributor and inquire about the PC warranty. Use proper ESD procedures when servicing. Protect components from harmful environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, excessive moisture or other damaging effects. DISCONNECT POWER Always turn off power and unplug the unit before servicing or making adjustments, unless otherwise instructed. Installing or repairing components while power is on can damage the components and void the warranty. GROUNDING Avoid electrical shock. Do not plug in AC power until you have inspected and properly grounded the unit. Only plug into a grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug or cut off the ground pin on the line cord. ELECTRICAL SHOCKS There is no isolation transformer in the cabinet. Disconnect AC power before servicing. However, be aware that lethal voltages can remain in the electronic components even when AC power is disconnected. Use extreme caution when servicing. Verify that there is a working ground connection. If the unit sustains water damage, cease using it immediately and unplug AC power. MONITOR Extremely high voltages exist in the monitor at all times. These high voltages exist even when the monitor is off and the AC line cord is disconnected. These voltages are extremely lethal and will cause death. The monitor contains no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to service the monitor. POWER SELECTOR Before installing game, ensure the voltage on the PC is set properly. There is a 115/230 VAC selector switch that must be set for the correct voltage for your site. Verify the fluorescent lamp rating. The rating must match the line voltage at the installation site. CONNECTORS Ensure all connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip in easily, do not force them. Connectors are often keyed and only connect one way. Check for correct orientation.

To Purchase This Item, Visit BMI Gaming | www.bmigaming.com | (800) 746-2255 | +561.391.7200 Safety COMPUTER The computer contains sensitive components, including a hard drive. Do not handle it roughly. Call your distributor before servicing its internal components. Ask about warranty information as it relates to the PC. Do not turn the PC power switch on or off. It should remain permanently in the ON position. Cycle AC power on or off with the cabinet power switch. A dongle has been inserted into one of the USB ports. This is required for game play. Do not remove the dongle except for troubleshooting purposes. POWER CORD If the power cord is damaged or lost, replace it with an identical cord as supplied by the manufacturer or an authorized service agent. WATER JETS Do not install or operate game within operating perimeter of a water jet. Do not clean equipment using water jet. HAZARD TO EPILEPTICS A small portion of the population has an epileptic condition that may cause seizures. Affected persons experience seizure while watching some television pictures or playing certain video games. People who have not had seizures may still have an undetected epileptic condition. If anyone in your family has experienced epilepsy symptoms (seizures or loss of awareness), consult your physical before using video games. While children play video games, a parent should observe. Be alert to the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation or convulsions. If you or your child experiences these symptoms, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician. MANUAL Keep this manual available and ready for use. If the game fails to function properly, turn off the machine and unplug the AC line cord. Contact your local distributor. Your warrantee, when applicable, lasts 60 days from your purchase date.
