Game Description

The Megatouch Gametime unit has an Ethernet coupler installed in the rear of the game (see Figure 1). The coupler can be used for broadband Internet connection or linking two or more games together for head- to-head play. The game also has a wireless adapter which can be used to automatically wirelessly link to another game or wirelessly connect to a broadband Internet connection (this requires the purchase of an 802.11 wireless router). An optional keyboard up- grade is also available for purchase through your local authorized dealer (part number: KAV-100-014-01). The keyboard allows you to easily type text in a Web browser. There is also a centronics connector on the back of the game which is used for future soft- ware upgrades.

Control Board Compartment

The control board compartment is located at the rear of the game (see Figures 1 and 2). Loosen the two thumbscrews to open the compartment. The buttons on the control board are explained below.

SETUP

Press SETUP to access the software op- tions. These options are explained in the software section of this manual. If SETUP is pressed during boot-up, the on-screen DIP switch program will launch. Consult the DIP SWITCH SETTINGS section of this manual for more information.

SETUP

CALIBRATE

Pressing the CALIBRATE button will take you through the steps to calibrate the touchscreen. This is sometimes necessary if the touchscreen is not responding prop- erly to touch. See Touchscreen Calibra- tion for detailed instructions.

MONITOR CONTROLS

The five buttons labeled Auto, Exit, Left, Right, and Menu adjust the monitor settings.

See Monitor Adjustment Procedure for

detailed instructions of each button.

General Care and Maintenance

Touchscreen Calibration

•Press the CALIBRATE button, located in the control board compartment (see Figure 2). Touch the center of the first cross that appears on the screen. Once you release your finger, a sec- ond cross will appear.

NOTE: You must hold your finger on the circle 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, then perform the operation a second time for high resolution.
