UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.1
EXAMINATION
FOR
SHIPPING
DAMAGE:
Before
shipment
from
the
factory,
components
and
sub-assemblies
of
each
game
are
carefully
checked
for
proper
operation.
However,
during
shipment
some
adjustments
may
have
changed
or
parts
may
have
been
damaged.
Upon
initial
removal
of
the
game
from
the
shipping
container,
first
examine
the
exterior
of
the
cabinet.
Then
open
the
rear
(or
side)
access
panel
and
also
examine
the
interior.
Any
shipping
damage
such
as
a
dented,
cracked
or
bro-
ken
cabinet,
sub-assemblies
broken
loose,
etc.,
should
be
reported
immediately
to
the
shipper
and
to
Atari,
Inc.
4.1.2
MECHANICAL INSPECTION:
After
determin-
ing
that
the
game has
been
received
in
good
condi-
tion,
carefully
inspect
the
interior
parts
and
verify
the
following:
(a)
All
slip-on
and
plug-in
connectors
are
firmly
seated
(particularly
the
PCB
edge
connector)
(b)
The
fuses are
all
seated
in
their
holders
(c)
No
loose
foreign
objects
are
present
(espe-
cially
metal
objects
which
could
cause
elec-
trical
short
circuits)
(d)
No
harness
wires
have
become
discon-
nected
or
pulled
loose.
Be
sure
all
major
assemblies
have
been
checked:
game
PCB,
the
transformer
and
other
components
on
the
electronics
tray
assembly,
the
two
coin
mechanisms,
the
speakers
(only
one
on
upright
cabinet
version),
the
player
controls
and
start
push
button
switches, and
the
TV
monitor
chassis.
Do
not
go
on
to
the
remaining
paragraphs
in
this
section
until
the
above
mechanical
inspection
has
been
thoroughly
performed.
4.2 ENERGIZING
THE
GAME
4.2.1
APPLICATION
OF
AC
POWER:
Close
and
lock
the
access
panel,
making
sure
that
it
is
com-
pletely
shut
at
the
bottom,
and
remove
the
key
from
the
lock.
On
the
cocktail
table
cabinet
version
also
make sure
that
the
table
top
is
fully
folded
down
into
its
normal,
horizontal
position
and
that
the
coin
mechanism
access
door
is
fully
closed.
Then
plug
the
power
cord
into
an
AC
outlet
providing
the
AC
power
listed
in
the
Specifications
(Section
II
of
this
manual).
The
wall
outlet
must
accept
a
three-prong
plug
and
the
receptacle
must
be
connected
to
a
good
earth
ground.
After
the
power
cord
has
been
plugged
in,
the
proper
response
from
the
game
is
that
a
picture
ap-
,'pears
on
the
TV
screen.
If
there
is
no
response at
all
from
the
game,
un-
plug
the
power
cord
and
check
the
AC
wall
outlet.
A
simple,
safe
way
to
check
for
presence
of
AC
power
at
the
wall
outlet
is
to
plug
in an
appliance
known
to
be
working
properly-such
as
a
table
lamp,
radio,
or
an
electric
clock.
If
the
wall
outlet
passes
the
check,
•
then
presume
that
the
trouble
is
with
the
game
and
refer
to
Section
VI
of
this
manual.
CAUTION:
No
troubleshooting
steps
should
be
attempted
inside the cabinet
by
anyone
not
familiar with safety measures
and
repair
procedures
on
electrical
equipment.
Do
not
go
on
to
the
remaining
paragraphs
in
this
section
until
the
proper
response
described
above
has
been
observed.
4.2.2
CHECK
ON
OPERATION
OF
INTERLOCK
SWITCHES:
The
interlock
switches
are
safety
switches
mounted
inside
the
game
cabinet.
The
up-
right
cabinet
has
one
switch
near
the
bottom
edge
of
the
rear
access
panel.
At
the
factory
this
switch
is
mechanically
adjusted
so
that
it
will
automatically
transfer
to
its
"off"
position
(switch
contacts
"open")
whenever
the
panel
is
opened.
When
the
interlock
switch
is
in
its
"off"
position,
the
AC
power
leading
to
the
game's
power
supply
is
inter-
rupted.
When
the
panel
is
closed,
the
interrupt
switch
is
adjusted
to
be
in
the
"on"
position
(switch
contacts
"closed")
and AC
power
is
allowed
to
reach
the
game's
power
supply,
meaning
that
the
game
can
operate.
The
cocktail
table
cabinet
has
three
interlock
switches,
one
near
the
bottom
edge
of
the
side ac-
cess panel,
one
just
beneath
the
folding
table
top
on
the
side
farthest
from
the
hinges,
and
one
on
the
coin
mechanism
assembly
near
the
hinge
of
the
ac-
cess
door.
At
the
factory
these
switches
are
mechan-
ically
adjusted
to
transfer
to
"off"
if
the
side
panel
is
opened,
if
the
table
top
is
lifted,
and
if
the
coin
mechanism
access
door
is
opened,
respectively.
When
even
one
of
these
switches
is
in
the
"off"
pos-
ition,
the
AC
power
is
interrupted.
After
application
of
AC
power
per
paragraph
4.2.1
above,
correct
operation
of
the
access
panel
interlock
switch
on
both
cabinet
versions
can
be
checked
as
follows:
unlock
and
slowly
open
the
panel.
The
correct
response
is
that
by
the
time
the
edge
of
the
panel
has
moved
about
2
to
3
inches
away
from
the
cabinet
the
TV
screen
should
go
dark,
verifying
that
the
interlock
switch
has
automatically
transferred
to
"off."
While
opening
the
panel
do
not
insert
fingers
inside
the
cabinet
and
do
not
allow
foreign
objects
to
fall
inside.
If
the
TV
screen
con-
tinues
to
be
lighted
up
even
after
the
panel
has
been
opened,
immediately
close
and
lock
it
and
unplug
the
power
cord
from
the
wall
outlet.
Then
refer
to
Section
VI
of
this
manual
to
replace
and/or
adjust
the
interlock
switch.
On
the
cocktail
table
cabinet
the
other
two
interlock
switches
must
also
be
checked,
one
at a
