The right side of the marquee (looking fromthe front) should be even with the front of the plastic on the coin/bill acceptor, and thefront base of the marquee should be even across the front of the monitor bezel. This stepis just so you can see how the marquee should fit without using any adhesive. You mayalso find it helpful to use a pencil and draw and very light line on the top of the bezel tomark the rear of the marquee. You can then follow this guideline when you permanentlysecure the marquee to the bezel.MONITORCOIN/BILLACCEPTORFIGURE A - <strong>RX</strong> MARQUEE PLACEMENT (SIDE VIEW)Marquee Installation:1.

The Coin-In Menu allows you to adjustthe cost of a credit, as well as provide away to give players “bonus” credits for depositinga higher amount of money. On theCash-In and Credits Table, the “-” and “+”buttons are used to change the number ofcredits, while the corresponding price valuefor the credits is entered by pressing theEdit button in that row.NOTE: The “Edit” button will bringup a numbered keypad, limited to 2decimal places. The Cash-In andCredits Table is ordered, so valuesmust be set in increasing incrementsfrom top to bottom of the screen. Thefinal two values, however, can beentered as “0”, which is the equivalentof N/A. As each row on the table isfilled in, the “Edit” button will appearfor the subsequent row below it.Similar to the Cash-In and Credits Table, whenprogramming the Channels on the Coin-InMenu, Channel 1 is set for the lowest valuecoin, Channel 2 for the next highest value,etc. The meter pulse, which is the highestcommon divisor of all the monetary valuesof the Channels, is independent of the creditsand only tracks the smallest unit of currency.Operators can use this number todetermine the amount of money earned on agame by multiplying the meter pulse by thereading on the hard meter.NOTE: Changing the values of theChannels on the Coin-In Menu maychange the meter pulse. Therefore, aCash Settlement Collection should beperformed prior to adjusting the Channelsin order to accurately reflect coindrop based on the hard meter reading.Adjusting the Channels will not affectthe Cash-In and Credits Table, whichperforms a separate function on theCoin-In Menu.To give customers bonus credits for insertinglarger denominations, manually adjustthe credits earned per dollar value on theCredit and Values Table. Coins may be depositedin any combination of values, andthe game will automatically register the highestnumber of credits for the total amount ofcoins deposited. Once a game is played,any remaining fractional credits are savedand applied to the next purchase.NOTE: It is recommended that if youare enabling bonus credits, that thegame be set to display in credits andnot money. If the game is set to displayin money, all money values will bebased on the value of 1 credit, which istypically the most expensive credit.The type of currency registered can be adjustedby touching the Change Currencybutton at the bottom right-hand corner of theCoin-In Menu. Touching the Default Settingsbutton just below it will return the Coin-In Menu to its factory settings. This settingcan be adjusted (as described previously),but will return if the game memory is cleared.PM0721-09MEGATOUCH ION <strong>RX</strong> OWNER’S MANUAL12

Each tournament can be further programmed to be a single, repeating tournamentgame, or a sequence of different games, which change for each tournament period.Players who achieve one of the three high scores during a tournament must enter theirname, along with their own personal identification number (PIN). Should they finish as oneof the three highest scorers in that tournament, the PIN will be used to ensure positiveidentification of the player. Provided an attendant is present, prizes may be claimed anytimeafter the completion of a tournament.
