TROUBLESHOOTING

•If you don't see the title screen after pressing the "Power" button, check to make sure the light located next to the Power button is illuminated. If it is and you still don't see the title screen, check to make sure that the video and audio plugs are plugged into the correct locations on your TV and/or VCR and check to make sure the console has fresh batteries installed.

•If the paddles are not functioning properly; make sure the line of sight to the console is unobstructed, or press the reset button located on the backside of the paddle or check to make sure that the batteries are in proper working order.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Locate the battery compartment door on the bottom of the console and on each paddle. Loosen the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the battery compartment door. Insert four "AA" batteries (we recommend alka- line) as indicated inside the console and two “AA” batteries as indicated in each paddle. Replace the battery compartment door and tighten the screw.

ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN REPLACING BATTERIES.

CAUTION:

•As with all small batteries, the batteries used with this game should be kept away from small children who may put things in their mouths. If a battery is swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

•Be sure you insert the battery correctly and always follow the game and battery manufacturers’ instruc- tions.

•Batteries might leak if improperly installed, or explode if recharged, disassembled or heated.
