MEGATOUCH ION RX OWNER’S MANUAL PM0721-01

Site Preparation

In determining the location for your Mega-

touch 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, cool-

ers or other high power consuming and elec-

trical noise generating equipment. Place the

game in a location where nothing will inter-

ferewith proper ventilation. Thegameshould

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 car-

ton, attach the power cord to the back

of the game near the ON/OFF switch.

Plug the game into a standard AC out-

let.

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

gamewill displaythe MainMenuScreen.

3. If you have a unit on the Broadband

Subscription Model, follow the steps in

Broadband Connection Instruc-

tions to connect to the server in order

to activate it.

4. The machine has been preset at the

factory and therefore should not need

to be adjusted, however it is recom-

mended that the screen be calibrated

(see Screen Calibration) and the coin

or bill acceptor(s) be tested.

5. There are many custom settings avail-

able for the game. To customize the

settings, follow the software instruc-

tions in this manual.

Game Description

The Rx model has one lock located on the

back of the unit. To open the unit, unlock this

lock and lift the front bezel from the rear of

the system. It comes equipped with a coin

mech and/or bill acceptor. This model also

hascouplersinstalled in the rearofthegame.

These are used for future hardware up-

grades which include linking and modem ca-

pabilities. Each game comes equipped with

a wireless USB adapter that can be used to

wirelessly link two Ion games together by

simply turning the games on. With the addi-

tion of a wireless router, the game(s) can

also connect to the Internet. The Linksys

802.11G router is recommended. For more

information, see Wireless Setup.

All of the major components of the Rx sys-

tem are located inside the cabinet, which

can be opened by unlocking a single lock.

Thesecomponentsinclude the motherboard,

LCD monitor, I/O board, power supply, hard

drive, coin box, and bill acceptor. On the I/O

board (located under the flap on the right

IMPORTANT NOTICE

While the Megatouch Rx is weather-resistant, and designed to channel water away from

internal electronic components, it is not weather-proof. It is recommended that the Rx be

placed in a protected environment out of direct rain and sunlight, such as under a canopy

or awning. If the game does get wet, please turn it off and allow it to dry completely before

continuing play.

When placed outdoors this unit should be properly grounded by using a GFCI (ground fault

circuit interrupter) outlet. Additionally, all extension cords used should be heavy-duty and

rated for outdoor use.

side of the system) there are SETUP and

CALIBRATE buttons. Pressing the SETUP

buttonwill bring you totheMain Menu Screen

(see Figure 1). From this screen you can

then adjust the operator options to best suit

your particular needs. For calibration in-

structions, please see the next section of

this manual.

This model features a widescreen LCD with

an electronic sidebar that provides space

for displaying images, advertisements, and

in-game information. The electronic sidebar

feature allows you to create customized

sidebar images to display during idle mode.

These images can be imported using a USB

pen at the game, or they can be remotely

sent to the game through the TournaMAXX

Operator Web Site. For more information,

see Sidebar Promotion in this manual, or

refer to your TournaMAXX Operator Web

Site.

Mounting the Rx Marquee

The Rx comes with an optional marquee

holder that can be secured to the top of the

game. In order to do this, use the provided

template that came with your Rx game. This

template will show you where to drill on top

of the Rx to best mount the marquee. Drill

the holes by following the template, then

secure the marquee to the top of the Rx

with the provided screws.

Web Marquee Creator

The Web Marquee Creator allows you to go

online to create your own customized mar-

quee for the Rx, which can then be printed

from any computer connected to a printer.

These custom marquees can be used to

advertiseanythingyouwish to promote. Sim-

ply go to www.meritgames.com/creator.asp

and follow the instructions. This marquee

will be printed out, then folded in half to fit

the marquee holder, which can be attached

to the top of your Rx unit.

Credit Card Reader

The game also features a built-in credit card

reader. To enable the credit card reader,

you must sign the provided contract, con-

nect the game to a broadband Internet con-

nection, and select a rate plan on your

TournaMAXX Operator Web Site. The credit

card functionality requires a broadband

Internetconnectionand a MegaNet subscrip-

tion.

Mounting the Rx to a Countertop

In addition to the U-bolt located on the rear

of the system, the Rx can also be secured

in a location by mounting it to a countertop

with the provided bolt, nut, and washer.

To do this, open the Rx and remove the

power supply. This will give you access to

the hole in the center of the Rx’s base, which

the securing bolt will run through.

Position the Rx where you would like it to be

mounted on the countertop, then use the

hole in the center of the game to mark the

drilling location on the countertop. Move the

Rx out of the way, and drill a hole in the

countertop to accept the bolt. Place the Rx

back over the hole and secure it in place

with the bolt, nut, and washer.

General Circuit Board Handling

Information

Before handling any boards, observe the

following procedures:

•Prevent Electro-Static Discharge by:

1. Storing the boards in the anti-

static 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 re-

placing the lithium battery on the

motherboard. There is a danger of explo-

sion if the battery on the motherboard is in-

correctly replaced. Only replace the bat-

tery with the same type recommended by

the manufacturer. Dispose of used batter-

ies according to the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions.

PM0721-01 MEGATOUCH ION RX OWNER’S MANUAL 4

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

enterthe cabinet and damage electron-

ics inside.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor

•The touchscreen glass should be

cleaned with a damp cloth and isopro-

pyl alcohol or a non-ammonia cleanser.

Do not use any abrasive or vinegar-

based cleansers, as they will damage

the touchscreen glass.

NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE

SOLVENTS, ACID OR VINEGAR-BASED

CLEANSERS ON THE MONITOR OR

DECALS. OVER TIME, SUCH CLEANS-

ERS COULD HARM THE TOUCH-

SCREEN 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 fea-

ture that allows it to automatically reboot if it

encounters a problem. When the watchdog

timer is enabled, it will reboot the machine

within 5 minutes after a failure, allowing the

game to automatically reset itself if a prob-

lem 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.
