MEGATOUCH ION RX OWNER’S MANUAL PM0721-09

Site Preparation

IndeterminingthelocationforyourMegatouch

Ionvideo game, consideration must be given

toasuitable, grounded electricaloutlet.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

betaken to providea clean andconstant volt-

age.As a basic guideline, never connect the

unit to a circuit that also supplies power to

freezers,coolersorotherhighpowerconsum-

ingandelectricalnoisegeneratingequipment.

Place the game in a location where nothing

willinterferewith properventilation.Thegame

should 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.

Plugthegameintoastandard,grounded

AC outlet.

2. Turn the power switch at the back of

the game to ON and wait for it to go

throughitsboot-upsequence.Thegame

will display the Main Menu Screen.

3. The machine has been preset at the

factory and should not need to be ad-

justed, however it is recommended that

the screen be calibrated (see

Touchscreen Calibration) and the

coin and/or bill acceptor(s) be tested.

4. There are many custom settings avail-

ablefor the game.Tocustomize the set-

tings, follow the software instructions 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

mechand/orbillacceptor.Thismodelalsohas

couplersinstalledintherearofthegame.These

areused for future hardware upgradeswhich

includelinking and modemcapabilities. Each

game comes equipped with a wireless USB

adapter that can be used to wirelessly link

twoIongames together.Withtheadditionof a

wirelessrouter, the game(s)can also connect

tothe Internet. The Linksys 802.11G router is

recommended.Formoreinformation,seeCon-

nection Wizard.

All of the major components of the Rx sys-

tem are located inside the cabinet, which

can be opened by unlocking a single lock.

Thesecomponents include themotherboard,

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

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

board (see Figure 34) there are SETUP and

CALIBRATE buttons. Pressing the SETUP

buttonwillbring you totheMain Menu Screen

(see Figure 1). From this screen you can

then adjust the operator options to best suit

yourparticular needs. For calibration instruc-

tions, please see the next section of this

manual.

IMPORTANTNOTICE

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

internal electronic components, it is not weatherproof. 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.

PM0721-09 MEGATOUCH ION RX OWNER’S MANUAL 2

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 Remote Op-

erator Web Site. For more information, see

Sidebar Promotion in this manual, or re-

fer to your Remote Operator Web Site.

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 ad-

vertiseanything you wish to promote. Simply

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

follow the instructions. This marquee will be

printed out, then folded in half to fit the mar-

queeholder, which canbe attachedtothe top

of your Rx unit. If you wish to install this op-

tionalmarqueeholder, pleasesee the section

“RxOptionalMarqueeInstallationInstructions”

later in this manual.

Credit Card Reader

The game also features a built-in credit card

reader. To enable the credit card reader, you

must connect the game to a broadband

Internet connection, call into the MegaNet

server, and select a rate plan on your Re-

mote Operator Web Site. Credit card func-

tionality requires a broadband Internet con-

nection and a MegaNet subscription.

NOTE: If a Megatouch unit that accepts

credit cards is moved between the U.S. and

Canada, Customer Service must be noti-

fied 2 business days before activating the

credit card feature in the new country. Fail-

ure to notify Customer Service will put the

operator in violation of card processing

regulations, for which the operator assumes

full responsibility. Furthermore, players who

pay by credit card in the new country will be

surprised with currency exchange fees,

which will likely lead them to call their credit

card companies, dispute the charge, and

obtain a charge reversal. The net result will

be a credit card payment refund to the play-

ers, which will hurt revenue.

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

withthe provided bolt, nut, and washers.

To do this, open the Rx and remove the

powersupply.Thiswill giveyou access to the

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

securingbolt 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 washers. One washer

should rest inside the hole on the bottom of

theRx’sbase,while theothershouldbeplaced

on the bolt on the underside of the coutertop

and secured in place with the provided nut.

Touchscreen Calibration

IMPORTANT: You should only touch the

game with your finger during calibra-

tion (don’t lean or touch anywhere else

on the game) and keep your finger as

outstretched as possible, with your

palm and other fingers away from the

screen (so the rest of your hand

doesn’t affect calibration).

•Pressthe“Calib”button on theI/Oboard

(see Figure 34).

•Touch the center of the first cross that

appears and hold it there for 2 sec-

onds. Once you release your

finger, a second cross will appear.

•Touch the center of the second cross

that appears on the screen and hold it

there for 2 seconds.

•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.

The game will prompt you to go through the

same steps two more times.

Monitor Adjustment Procedure

The vertical/horizontal controls and bright-

ness/contrast controls are located on the

OSD board, which is located on the back of

the monitor. Pressing the button labeled

Menu on the OSD board will show the on-

screen display on the monitor. Use the Left

andRight buttons tomove through themenu.

Touch Menu again to select the option you

want to change. Use the Left and Right but-

tons to change the option, then select Menu

again to deselect the option. Auto will auto-

matically adjust the size and brightness.

make sure that the game screen fills

the monitor screen and that the game

screen is centered.

3. Adjust the brightness and contrast con-

trols until the top sets of checkers are

a rich red and the bottom set are a dark

gray. The feet on the “Checkerz”

character should be white. (Adjusting

the brightness and contrast can also

correct for a lack of sharpness.)

NOTE: If you are experiencing an issue

where your screen seems to be slightly

shifted, repeat the screen calibration

process, pressing “Auto” on the OSD

board when each new calibration

screen appears BEFORE you calibrate

the screen for that resolution.

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

inserted straight onto the header and

that the connector covers all header

pins.

•Donot 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 battery

with the same type recommended by the

manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries ac-

cording to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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 en-

ter the cabinet and damage electronics

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 CLEANSERS

COULD HARM THE TOUCHSCREEN AND

ERASE THE DECALS. BE CAREFUL NOT

TO USE COMMERCIAL CLEANERS CON-

TAININGANY 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 feature

that allows it to automatically reboot if it en-

counters a problem. The watchdog timer will

reboot the machine within 5 minutes after a

failure,allowing the gameto automatically re-

setitself if a problemarises without needinga

technicianpresent.

Power Cord Security

Use the provided tie wrap to secure the

power cord to the U-bolt on the back of the

game (see Figure 33 at the rear of this

manual).

This will prevent unnecessary strain or ac-

cidental removal of the cord if the game is

turned or moved.

NOTE:Make sure thatthe plug is fully seated

in the game after attaching it to the U-bolt.

MEGATOUCH ION RX OWNER’S MANUAL PM0721-09

Rx Optional Marquee Installation Instructions

CAUTION

WHILE THE RX MARQUEE IS OPTIONAL, DUE TO THE STRONG ADHESIVE USED TO

SECURE IT, ONCE IT IS INSTALLED, IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE REMOVED.

The marquee should never be used as a handle when servicing the game, as it was not

designed for this purpose. When used inappropriately in this fashion, the marquee

could break, causing the bezel to slam down and thereby damaging the system.

The monitor bezel should always be opened by using the handle on the rear of the

coin/bill acceptor.

Before you begin installation:

Line up the marquee as shown in FigureA. The right side of the marquee (looking from

the front) should be even with the front of the plastic on the coin/bill acceptor, and the

frontbase ofthe marquee should be even across the front of the monitor bezel. Thisstep

is just so you can see how the marquee should fit without using any adhesive. You may

also find it helpful to use a pencil and draw and very light line on the top of the bezel to

mark the rear of the marquee. You can then follow this guideline when you permanently

secure the marquee to the bezel.

COIN/BILL

ACCEPTOR

MONITOR

Marquee Installation:

1. Remove the two strips covering the two pieces of tape on the bottom of the

marquee.

2. Carefully line up the marquee on top of the bezel. Follow any guidelines you have

drawn for yourself, or refer to Figure 1 for placement.

3. Press down on the base of the marquee to ensure that the adhesive has fully bonded

with the bezel.
