MICROTOUCH:

Features:
- SMT-3 controller in white box
- SMT-4 controller in black box
- USB controller (open-face)
- Green LED on controller lit at half brightness, full brightness when screen is touched
- Overlay functions on capacitance.
- Touchscreen cable is on right side of CRT.

Troubleshooting:
- LED flashing from 1 to 5 times - detected error or possible defective controller
- LED not lit - Check +12Vdc. The touchscreen and/or controller may also be defective.

See Figure 1 for the touchscreen overlay connector schematic.

CALIBRATION:

1. Find the CALIBRATE button on the I/O board or the OSD board inside the CPU section, and

press it to enter the screen calibration mode.

2. Touch the center of the first cross that appears. Once you release your finger, a second

cross will appear.

NOTE: You must hold your finger on the circle for approximately 2 seconds for the calibration
to be recognized.

3. Touch the center of the second cross that appears on the screen.

4. 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.

5. Touch the EXIT button.

If you have enabled high resolution, the game will prompt you to go through the calibration procedure
twice.

6. The game will then prompt you to calibrate the joystick (if applicable). Move the joystick as far

left as it will go, release the joystick, and then press one of the buttons on the joystick.

NOTE: Your joystick may not appear to be functioning correctly during calibration, but it is
important that you continue the calibration steps. After calibration has been completed, it will
function properly.

7. Move the joystick as far right as it will go, release the joystick, and then press one of the joystick

buttons.

8. Move the joystick as far up as it will go, release the joystick, and then press one of the joystick

buttons.

9. Move the joystick as far down as it will go, then release the joystick and press one of the joystick

buttons.

10. Then, without touching the joystick, press one of the buttons on the joystick to complete calibra-

tion.

11. Touch the EXIT button.

FIGURE 1 - MICROTOUCH TOUCHSCREEN OVERLAY CONNECTOR SCHEMATIC

CALIBRATION or LOCKUP PROBLEMS:

•

If the calibration is off over the whole area of the screen, calibrate the screen again. If this does not
correct the problem, replace the touchscreen.

•

If the calibration is off in one area, check for scratches or nicks on the screen. If you detect
scratches or nicks, replace the touchscreen.

•

If the screen loses calibration entirely, check the ground pin on the line cord.

•

Microwave ovens and neon lights can and will interfere with the calibration of the touchscreen and
should not be within 6 feet (or 2 meters) of the game.

•

Improper grounding will affect the operation of the touchscreen.

•

If you are experiencing problems with double-touching (e.g., two cards are taken away after only
one touch to the screen), make sure the AC plug and wall outlets are properly grounded.

NOTE: If the cable was incorrectly installed, the touchscreen response will be out of sync by
180 degrees.

Hard Drive Removal

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are replacing a PATA hard drive with a SATA hard drive,

please see “PATA to SATA Hard Drive Conversion”.

Hard Drive Identification:

To determine whether your hard drive is quick-click or non-quick-click, look for a light gray adapter
between the hard drive adapter and the hard drive mounting bracket. See Figure 1. If there is such an
adapter, then you have a quick-click hard drive; if not, then your hard drive is non-quick-click. The PATA
hard drive with a clamp will simply have a clamp as shown in Figure 1. The SATA hard drive is also
shown in Figure 1. The SATA is easily identifable by the lack of a hard drive ribbon cable and adapter.

replace it with the provided neoprene tape. The tape sticks to the bezel, and the backing should
NOT be removed.

NOTE: Do NOT remove the backing of the tape that is attached to the Widescreen
Touchscreen. If there is no tape attached to the touchscreen you received, cut pieces of the
supplied double-sided foam tape long enough to cover each edge of the touchscreen with-
out overlapping. Remove the backing from ONLY ONE side of the tape and place it around
the edge of the REAR of the touchscreen. The rear of the touchscreen can be identified by
the tracing around the touchscreen. The side of the touchscreen with NO TRACING is the
rear, and the tape should be applied to that side. Once the tape is in place, DO NOT remove
the backing.

Reinstall the Front Enclosure

26. Be sure that all five cables (four monitor cables and the wireless adapter cable) coming from the

system are passing through the large middle hole on the front enclosure, then reinstall the enclo-
sure on the front of the unit. Do so starting with the bottom lip of the front enclosure. Place it behind
the lip of the metal plate at the bottom of the unit, then work your way up the front enclosure,
pressing it gently toward the game’s housing.

NOTE: On games with bill acceptors, you may need to work the front enclosure around the bill accep-
tor, then press the bottom of the front enclosure in place behind the metal lip. The front enclosure
should snap into place when seated correctly.

NOTE: Be CERTAIN that no wires are being crimped by the front enclosure when you place it back on
the unit. Additionally, be sure that you can access the joystick cables through the joystick hole on the
bottom of the front enclosure.

27. After the front enclosure is fully seated, replace all 13 of the screws (along with their washers) that

secure the front enclosure and the halo. Please refer to Figure 16 for screw locations.

NOTE: Be sure that when you resecure the screw that holds the rear cover bracket latch, that the latch
is facing down. See Figure 16 for screw location.

Install the New Halo

23. Reattach the three LED boards to the new halo in the same positions (see Figure 17). The connec-

tor of the top LED should be on the left-hand side when looking at the rear of the halo. The bottom
two LEDs can be attached to either the right or left side. The pins on these connectors can face
either the front or the rear of the system, just so long as you can reconnect the harnesses to them
when the halo is seated on the game.

NOTE: Be sure that when you’re reattaching the top LED board that the two white washers are used as
spacing between the LED board and the top of the halo.

24. Place the new halo on the game. The bottom of the halo should be resting on the front of the unit,

while the top LED board should be behind the metal frame (rear side of the unit).

25. Reconnect the 4-pin connector to the top LED board, then reconnect the two 5-pin connectors to

the bottom two LED boards. Be sure that all adapters are firmly mated into their connectors.

!! IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE REINSTALLING COMPONENTS !!

When you reinstall the game components, be sure that the screws are tight, but DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN THEM as this may crack or break the component.

NOTE: If you removed the bill acceptor magazine from your system, it would be best to insert it back
into the system now.

32. Reconnect any cables that you removed from the motherboard, OSD board, or power supply when

you slid the electronics tray from the system. Additionally, if you disconnected the three black
connectors (10-, 11-, and 12-pin) that connect the electronics tray to the game, you should recon-
nect these now (see Figure 11).

33. Slide the electronics tray into its tracks inside the system (the thumbscrew on the electronics tray

should be facing the rear of the system - see Figure 10), then gently push the electronics tray back
into place. BE CERTAIN that no wires are being crimped or interfered with while doing so.

34. Once the electronics tray is back into place, secure the tray by screwing in the thumbscrew.

Troubleshooting Information - DIP Switch Settings in Ion Games

Megatouch Ion Technical Reference Manual

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

The following table provides information on the functionality of the hard DIP switches in Megatouch
games. Make sure to read the information in the Notes column to determine what is affected when
performing these functions. After performing any DIP switch function, make sure to follow the instruc-
tions on the screen. In most cases, you will be instructed to reset the DIP switch in order to reboot the
game. If you fail to reset the DIP switch before rebooting, it could result in corruption of the hard drive.

NOTE: The DIP switch functionality is built into the software. To access the DIP switches through the
software: Turn off the game. Set DIP switch 1 to the closed position. Turn power on. When the
message Please reset DIP 1 to proceed appears, reset DIP 1 to the open position. The diagnostics
page will appear. Touch ? for information on DIP switch functionality. Touch the specific DIP switch to
activate it. Touch X to exit.

DIP# Function

Usage/Notes

8 Motherboard

configuration &
checksum test

• Configures the CMOS settings on the motherboard to the

default specifications and checks the files on the hard drive.

A checksum test should be performed when the game is locking
up or rebooting. If the test fails, the program should be reloaded
onto the hard drive. After reloading, perform another checksum
test. If it fails again, the hard drive should be replaced.

6 Hardware

configuration

• Identifies system hardware and configures the motherboard.
A hardware configuration occasionally needs to be performed
after a kit is installed and the touchscreen is not responding to
touch or the calibration is off.

5 & 7

Memory clear for
TournaMAXX
and TouchTunes

• Clears the login name, password, access phone number, and

all call-in settings for TournaMAXX users.

• Clears all the loaded albums for TouchTunes users.

• Clears current books, coin-in, high scores and resets the

software options.

A memory clear should be performed when a game is not able
to connect to TournaMAXX and there is some question about
the information in the Dial-Up Network Screen being correct.
After performing a memory clear, TournaMAXX setup
information must be re-entered, and an Update From Server
should be performed.
NOTE: TournaMAXX games must perform an Update From
Server BEFORE performing a memory clear.

4 & 7

Complete
memory clear

• Clears ALL memory on hard drive including the TournaMAXX

player database, TournaMAXX settings, advertising screens,
bookkeeping, high scores, coin-in, options, etc. It resets the
game to the factory defaults. It also marks bad sectors on
hard drive.

A complete memory clear should only be performed when the
game is locking up or resetting and it has passed the checksum
test. After performing a memory clear, the player database
should be reloaded, TournaMAXX setup information must be re-
entered, and an Update From Server should be performed.

NOTE: TournaMAXX games must perform an Update From
Server BEFORE performing a complete memory clear.

3 Watchdog

Timer

• When the watchdog timer is enabled, it will reboot the

machine within 5 minutes of a failure, allowing the game to
automatically reset itself if a problem arises.

Setting the Coin-In Menu (for Games with 2006 and 2006.5 Software):

Settings for the bill acceptor are controlled by the settings for Electronic Mech 2 (2E) in
the Coin-In Menu screen.

To set the Coin-In Menu to provide a bonus credit for the use of a dollar, set the
number of coins (for Electronic Mech 2) to 4 and set the number of credits to 5. This will
provide 5 credits for each dollar entered. Meter Pulses can be set to 4 to record the
amount of “coins” in the cashbox, or it can be set to 5 to record the number of credits
played, depending on your individual need. An illustration of the coin-in menu set to
offer 5 credits for a dollar, with the meter counting coins, is shown below.

Setting the Coin-In Menu (for Games with 2007 and Later Software):

Game cost can be controlled two ways: by changing the number of credits required to play a game
or by changing the cost of a credit. The Coin-In Menu allows you to adjust the cost of a credit, and
provides a way to give players “bonus” credits for depositing a higher amount of money. On the
Cash-In and Credits Table, the “-” and “+” buttons are used to change the number of credits, while
the corresponding price value for the credits is entered by pressing the Edit button in that row.

NOTE: The “Edit” button will bring up a numbered keypad, limited to 2 decimal places.
The Cash-In and Credits Table is ordered, so values must be set in increasing increments
from top to bottom of the screen. The final two values, however, can be entered as “0”,
which is the equivalent of N/A. As each row on the table is filled in, the “Edit” button will
appear for the subsequent row below it.

Likewise, when programming the channels on the Coin-In Menu, Channel 1 is set for the
lowest value coin, Channel 2 for the next-lowest value, and so on. The meter pulse, which
is the highest common divisor of all the monetary values of the channels, is independent of
the credits and tracks only the smallest unit of currency. Operators can use this number to
determine the amount of money earned on a game by multiplying the meter pulse by the
reading on the hard meter.

NOTE: Changing the values of the channels on the Coin-In Menu may change the meter
pulse. Therefore, a Cash Settlement Collection should be performed prior to adjusting the
channels in order to accurately reflect coin drop based on the hard meter reading. Adjust-
ing the channels will not affect the Cash-In and Credits Table.

To give customers bonus credits for inserting larger denominations, manually adjust the credits
earned per dollar value on the Credit and Values Table. Coins may be deposited in any combina-
tion of values and the game will automatically register the highest number of credits for the total
amount of coins deposited. Once a game is played, any remaining fractional credits are saved
and applied to the next purchase.

NOTE: If you are enabling bonus credits, it is recommended that the game be set to dis-
play in credits and not money. If the game is set to display in money, all money values will
be based on the value of 1 credit, which is typically the most expensive credit.

The type of currency registered can be adjusted by touching the Change Currency button at the
bottom right-hand corner of the Coin-In Menu. Touching the Default Settings button just below it
will return the Coin-In Menu to its factory settings. This setting can be adjusted (as previously
described), but will return if the game memory is cleared.

Field

Bulletin

Date: 3-20-06

merit industries, inc.

Issue:

Merit has received field reports of intermittent touchscreen problems on
some Ion games, which can make the calibration drift or result in missed

touches. Our investigation into the matter revealed that a small number

of games were manufactured in September 2005 without touchscreen

insulation tape, which became necessary when our touchscreen supplier

changed their manufacturing method.

Games affected:

The potentially affected games are Ion EVO, Ion Elite Edge and Ion
Wallette games manufactured in September 2005 only. The first six

digits of the serial number of these games will be 09XX05

(where XX can be any number).

Symptoms:

The touchscreen may not recognize touch, the calibration may be off or
may drift and performing a touchscreen calibration does not correct the

problem.

Solution:

If your game is experiencing calibration problems similar to those
described above, and the serial number of the game is in the indicated

serial number range above, unlock and open the front bezel and make

sure it is properly taped. Figure 1 shows where to look to determine if

the bezel is taped. If you determine that the touchscreen does not have

the tape, contact your distributor for a free tape kit or install your own

one-inch wide electrical or polyester tape. Follow the instructions on the

reverse side of this bulletin to install the tape.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

215-639-4700 or 1-800-523-2760 or by E-mail: TechCenter@meritind.com

Bezel Tape Installation Instructions

1. Turn off and unplug the game.
2. Unlock and open the CPU section and place something in front of the game to brace the bezel once

the strain relief cord is undone.

3. Remove the screw and washer fastening the strain relief cord, then remove the remaining 5 screws

fastening the LCD mounting bracket to the game. The dongle socket ground wire will also be

removed in the process.

4. Remove the nut, wire and bolt from the dongle socket assembly located on LCD mounting bracket,

then remove and carefully set the bracket aside with wire connections intact.

5. Loosen the 3 screws on the monitor side of the hinges in order to raise the hinges and allow room to

remove the monitor.
NOTE:

Elite Edge games may require you to remove the joystick in order to allow the necessary

room for loosening of the hinge screws. To remove the joystick, carefully place the game on its side.

Remove the 2 screws securing the protective bracket on the bottom of the game and remove the

bracket. Disconnect the joystick connector and remove the joystick. Return the game to its upright

position.

6. Carefully remove the monitor from the bezel, leaving the wire harness connections intact.

NOTE:

You may need to disconnect some wire harnesses to allow for more maneuverability when

applying the tape to the bezel. Make sure any disconnected harnesses are returned to their proper

position during reinstallation of the monitor.

7. Apply the supplied tape to the inside edge of the bezel as shown in Figure 2. Tape each side so that

the width of the tape covers the entire plastic lip, from the edge of the bezel to the bend in the plastic.

8. Carefully slide the monitor into the bezel, under the loosened hinges. Ensure that the monitor is

properly centered, then tighten the hinge screws. Make sure to reconnect any wire harnesses you

may have disconnected.
NOTE:

If you removed the joystick on your Elite Edge, carefully return the game to its side and

reconnect the joystick connector to the connector in the game. Place the protective bracket in its

previous position, sliding it under the lazy Susan and making sure the cutouts are placed around the

installed screws. Make sure all wires are secured inside the bracket, then reinstall the 2 screws

securing the bracket. Return the game to its upright position.

9. Reattach the LCD mounting bracket using the 6 existing screws. The dongle socket ground wire and

strain relief cord will also be fastened in the process.

10. Replace the dongle socket assembly by securing the bolt, green wire and nut over the LCD mounting

bracket.

11. Close and lock the CPU section.
12. Plug in and turn on the game.

Issue:

Force 2006 and Ion 2006 games have been reported as slow to
transition between the idle screens, the main player menu, and the

operator setup screens. The response of the touchscreen has also been

reported in some instances to be slower during high-speed play.

Games affected:

Only games running Force 2006 and Ion 2006 software.

Symptoms:

The game is slow to come out of the idle screens, main player menu and
setup screens. This can also cause a problem with the display of the

icons on the main player menu. Some players may notice that the

response of the touchscreen during high-speed game play is also

affected.

Solution:

Merit Industries is providing a free software upgrade disc to correct this
problem. The upgrade should be installed on all games running Force

2006 and Ion 2006 software. It will update the software to the 20.10

software release. This disc will be supplied to all distributors who

received the affected kits and games. It is important to note that this is a

full upgrade, which will overwrite data. Therefore, any operator-

customized settings will need to be reset following the installation. Also,

make sure to perform an Update from Server before installing this disc

if your game is connected to MegaNet or TournaMAXX so that all player

information is retained. Follow the instructions on the reverse side of this

Re: DVD Software Updates

Merit will be switching from CD to DVD Force software updates beginning with the September software

release. In response to operator feedback that software updates take too long, coupled with the

inexpensive cost and increased reliability of DVDs, Merit has decided to make the switch to DVD

technology. This will decrease the amount of time required to install software, as DVD readers have a

faster data transfer rate. In addition to faster installation, DVDs hold more data, which means fewer discs

to install. The entire Force 2006 update will fit on one DVD.

DVD readers also read and install CDs. Since the Maxx platform will continue to use CDs for software

updates, this allows operators to use one reader to update both Maxx and Force games.

DVD readers are readily available at retail consumer electronics stores and on the Internet. Merit has

tested and approved the following DVD reader for use with all DVD and CD updates: Sony model

DDU1613. The Lite-on brand DVD, model SOHD-16P9S, has also been approved for all DVD updates

and CD updates to all games with the exception of games that have Telco motherboards. Due to

variations within a model number, manufacturer changes, and other variables, Merit cannot guarantee the

functionality of any reader. We recommend that you test your reader with all your Merit products. Other

DVD readers may also be compatible and we will continue to test and approve more readers for use with

the software.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

215-639-4700 or 800-445-9353, or by E-mail at TechCenter@meritind.com.

Re:

Testing the Coin Mech and Bill Acceptor in Megatouch Games

Megatouch software provides a screen in operator setup to allow for bill acceptor and coin mech testing.

If you are testing the coin mech or bill acceptor in your game, you should only use this I/O Test Screen in

order to perform testing. Testing the bill acceptor any other way will accrue money on the game, which

can affect the value of a credit and therefore affect cash settlement fees for premium services related to

linked music and certain games. To test the coin mech and/or bill acceptor, follow the steps below.

1. Press the SETUP button to enter operator setup.

2. Touch

the

Diagnostics

button and then touch I/O Test.

3. Test the bill acceptor and/or coin mech by inserting money and ensuring that it registers correctly

on the Diagnostics Screen. A green light next to the appropriate channel will register each time
that channel is tested, and the number next to the channel should increment appropriately with
each test. NOTE: On most U.S. games, one dollar will give you 4 pulses.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

215-639-4700 or 800-445-9353, or by e-mail at TechCenter@meritind.com.

Re:

New Security Keys Used with Ion and Force 2007 Software

Due to increased sales and supplier issues, Merit is now using multiple vendor components for security

keys in order to accommodate market demand. Because the new keys are a different component, the Ion

and Force 2007, version 22.02, software had to be updated in order to work with the new keys.

Therefore, you must keep the key and software together to ensure proper functionality. If you install a

new key into a game running version 22.02 software, you may receive the error message, “Key Range

Mismatch”. If this happens, you must either install the security key that came with the software or

update the game to a later version of 22 software.

Re: Wireless

Networking

Because of inherent limitations in wireless technology, intermittent wireless communication problems can

occur. These problems can happen for a number of reasons, including radio signal interference from

various consumer electronics, obstacles, such as walls, in the way of communication, and overloading the

router with too many devices. In order to prevent some of these problems, care should be taken when

placing the Megatouch game(s) and, if applicable, the router. Position all communicating devices so that

the number of walls or ceilings between them is minimized. Keep them in a centralized location with good

airflow and keep them away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

If you lose your wireless network connection for any reason, simply reboot the game and the connection

will be reestablished. Additionally, after configuring or changing your wireless network settings, reboot

the game in order to ensure that your wireless network is properly established.

It is important to note that if you are using security, the Megatouch only supports 64 or 128-bit WEP

encryption. Additionally, if you are unsuccessful with your initial connection attempt, try changing the

channel on the router to a lower channel. Most routers default to channel 6, if you are having difficulties,

try changing it to channel 3 or 4.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

215-639-4700 or 800-445-9353, or by e-mail at TechCenter@meritgames.com.

Re:

Replacing 500-Note with 700-Note Bill Acceptors in Aurora Games

If desired, you may replace the 500-note bill acceptor in your Aurora game with your own 700-note

stacker. To do so, you must have a rear door with one of the bosses on the door removed (see Figure 1).

If your door does not already have the specified boss removed, then you may carefully remove it,

making sure not to damage the plastic or finish in the surrounding area.

FIGURE 1 – AURORA REAR DOOR FROM THE INSIDE

After installing the 700-note stacker, you will also have to remove the locking cash bracket and not

reinstall it. Although each cash bracket has a different key, all Aurora games built with 500-note stackers

have the same key for the rear door, so it may be beneficial to change the lock on your game.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

215-639-4700 or 800-445-9353, or by e-mail at TechCenter@meritgames.com.

Issue:

When linking a Merit Megatouch® game and a TouchTunes® jukebox,
several errors have been reported.

Games affected:

Any Megatouch game linked with any TouchTunes jukebox can exhibit
these errors.

Symptoms:

The album covers on the TouchTunes jukebox can turn solid black.
Because the Megatouch game displays exactly what is shown on the

TouchTunes jukebox, the game will also display the black album covers.

It is important to note that while the album artwork is missing, the album

information is still visible and selectable and the jukebox will continue to

play music.
A second issue has been reported where the communications module on

the TouchTunes jukebox will crash. If this happens, the game can no

longer communicate with the jukebox. If a customer selects music from

the game, the game will try to communicate with the jukebox, and

because the jukebox module is not running, it will eventually time out.

This will result in displaying the error “Jukebox Connection failed –

rejected or timed out.”
Both of the above issues can be temporarily resolved by performing a

complete reboot of the TouchTunes jukebox.

Solution:

TouchTunes released version 2.4.0-45 software, which greatly reduced
the occurrence of the problems above; however, the black album covers

would still intermittently appear. TouchTunes released another version,

2.4.0-95, which appears to resolve the issues above. Both Merit and

TouchTunes have tested and approved TouchTunes software version

2.4.0-95 linked to a Megatouch game running version 23 software. In

order for proper functionality, all TouchTunes jukeboxes linked to

Megatouch games should be running these versions of software.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

Re:

Linking Megatouch® Games with TouchTunes® Gen 3 Jukeboxes

TouchTunes is releasing Gen 3 hardware and software, which does not currently support the link with

Megatouch games. TouchTunes may also decide to upgrade existing Gen 2 units to Gen 3 software in

the future. If you are linking your Megatouch game to a TouchTunes jukebox, be advised that in order for

the link to continue to work, the jukebox has to remain at Gen 2 (version 2.4.0-95) software.

Merit remains committed to continue support for the existing Megatouch / TouchTunes link. If you have

any concerns about Gen 3 software, you should contact TouchTunes, as they have dropped the support

for the link in their latest software release and do not currently have plans to implement it.

Re:

Game Cleaning and Maintenance

As preventive maintenance to keep your Megatouch video games running at peak performance, it is
important to clean your games on a regular basis.

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. We recommend that you check the fans every 6
weeks. 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.

Checking the Fan Speed:

It is also important to check the CPU fan speed of your Megatouch at regular

intervals. Do so by going into operator setup, pressing Diagnostics, then pressing System Info. The
CPU fan speed will be displayed on the following page. If the fan speed is below 3500 RPM it is
recommended that the CPU fan be replaced. If it below 3000 RPM it is recommended that the CPU fan
be replaced immediately. Additionally, a physical check of all fans is highly suggested, especially if there
are any unusual noises coming from a fan.

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 enter the cabinet and damage
electronics inside.

Cleaning the Joystick:

The joystick 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 enter the housing and damage
electronics inside.

Cleaning the Touchscreen Monitor:

·The touchscreen glass should be cleaned with a damp cloth and

isopropyl 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 SIDE DECALS. OVER TIME, SUCH CLEANSERS COULD HARM THE TOUCHSCREEN
AND ERASE THE DECALS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE COMMERCIAL CLEANERS CONTAINING
ANY OF THESE SUBSTANCES.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at
215-826-1400 or 800-523-2760, or by e-mail at TechCenter@meritgames.com.

Re:

Bill Acceptor Upgrade for the New Five-Dollar Bill

Merit’s bill acceptor supplier, MEI, has developed recognition software for the new five-dollar bill that

recently entered circulation. There are two options to upgrade the bill acceptor in your Megatouch game.

MEI offers a handheld programming device and an adapter cable (9-pin AC power cable, MEI part

number 01-12-139), which can be used to perform the update. You can also take the bill acceptor to an

authorized MEI service center to have it reprogrammed. A list of authorized service centers is available

on MEI’s Web site at www.meiglobal.com.

Merit began using the newly programmed acceptors in manufactured games on January 16

th. Therefore,

all games with the serial number 011608XXXXXXXX or greater (the first 6 digits indicate the date of

manufacture) already have the new bill acceptor installed and require no additional programming.

For games that require reprogramming, follow the instructions below if you are programming the bill

acceptor yourself.

1. Turn off the game and disconnect it from its power source.
2. Disconnect the 2 connectors running to the side of the bill acceptor, taking note of how they are

connected so you can reconnect them later.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to take note of your bill acceptor connectors before removing
them. If the connectors aren’t properly connected and aligned when replacing them, you
can render your bill acceptor inoperable.

3. Connect the 30-pin connector on the harness attached to the handheld programming device to

the same location on the bill acceptor where you just removed the previous 2 connectors.

4. Connect the 9-pin connector from the separate AC power cable to the mating 9-pin connector on

the harness attached to the programming device. Plug the other end of this cable into an outlet.

5. Locate the switches on the opposite side of the bill acceptor and turn on switch 8 (all other

switches should be off).

6. Plug in and turn on the game. The software will download to the bill acceptor.
7. Once the software is downloaded, the bill acceptor will perform a run and stack. Wait for the run

and stack before disconnecting the device.

8. Turn off power to the game and disconnect the 30-pin connector from the bill acceptor.
9. Return switch 8 to the off position.

10. Reconnect the 2 bill acceptor connectors as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to take note of your bill acceptor connectors before replacing
them. If the connectors aren’t properly connected and aligned when replacing them, you
can render your bill acceptor inoperable.

11.  Close and lock the game.
12.  Turn on the game.
13.  Test the functionality of the bill acceptor to make sure that it is properly registering and giving the

appropriate number of credits for the new five-dollar bill.

Re: Ion 2008.5 Software Update

All operators should be aware that if they downloaded the 2008 software update via the broadband

download (V24.25) and they wish to upgrade their Megatouch to 2008.5 software (V25), they must do so

via download. If the 2008 software was done by download, the 2008.5 must be done in the same manner

and not by delta disc. The broadband download to 2008.5 can be done remotely by computer and there is

no key change, so there is no need to actually visit the site. In most cases the 2008.5 download can be

fully completed overnight with little to no interruption of game operations.

Additionally, updating in this manner is an advantage to the operators in that the download is safer – it

partitions the drive so that it stores both the old version and the new version (in the event that there is any

need to revert to the older software version).

If you have any questions please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

Issue:

Certain games updating from 2008 to 2008.5 software may lose the local
AMI music catalog after installing the software update.

Games affected:

Only certain games using the delta disc to update from version 2008
(V24.04, V24.05 and V24.06) to 2008.5 (V25.01) software that are linked
to an AMI jukebox may be affected.

Symptoms:

The local music catalog will not appear. All album jackets in the local
catalog will appear as Music On Demand.

Solution:

There are three options to receive the catalog after installing the 2008.5
software update:

Option 1: If you used the broadband software download, your game will
download the local catalog automatically during the next call into the
server.

Option 2: Before going to the game location, download the latest AMI
catalog from our Web site (www.meritgames.com/amidatabase.asp).
Follow the online instructions to copy the catalog onto a USB pen or
disc. After installing the 2008.5 software update, install the AMI catalog
via disc or USB pen.

Option 3: The game will also download the latest catalog automatically,
but you will have to clear the current catalog from the machine first. To
do this, press the setup button to enter operator setup. Then touch
System, AMI Setup, and then Clear Info. Touch the box next to
Catalog to clear the catalog and then touch Yes. Confirm that you want
to continue by touching Yes again. When complete, the game will return
to the AMI Setup Screen. Touch Connect on this page to start the
download process. This process could take anywhere from 30-90
minutes. If time is a factor for you, we recommend using option #2 to
install the music catalog.

Issue:

Several errors have been reported in TouchTunes software when their
jukeboxes are connected to Merit games.

Games affected:

Merit games linked to TouchTunes digital jukeboxes using certain
versions of TouchTunes Gen 2 and Gen 3 software.

Symptom 1:

Gen 3 Software
Song purchases from a Merit game to a TouchTunes jukebox running
Gen 3 Software (release 3.3.1-84) can cause an error in the number of
Merit credits used, regardless of the number of credits configured on the
Merit game. This error will charge only one credit no matter how the
system is configured.

To resolve this issue: Upgrade your TouchTunes Jukebox Software to
version 3.4.5-33.

Symptom 2:

Gen 2 Software
On TouchTunes Gen 2 Software (release 2.8.2-x), about 2.5 hours after
a jukebox reboot, the Merit game will no longer be able to communicate
with the jukebox (though the jukebox buttons will still be visible on your
Merit game). Rebooting the jukebox will solve the problem temporarily,
but it should not be considered a fix.

To resolve this issue: Upgrade your TouchTunes Jukebox Software to
version 2.8.2-30. This release and all subsequent builds will have a fix
for this issue incorporated into it.

Symptom 3:

Gen 2 Software
On TouchTunes jukeboxes running Gen 2 Software (release 2.8.2-12), if
the jukebox is paused and a song is then selected from a Merit system
running at low resolution, an error will appear on the Merit system and
additional credits will be added to the Merit game.

Re: Force & Ion 2009 Incompatibility

All of the advancements in Merit’s Ion 2009 platform have moved this software release outside of the
technological window of Force systems. Due to this, 2009 Ion and Force software will not be
interchangeable. Force software will only work on Force machines, while Ion software will only work on
Ion machines. This also means that Ion hard drives and Ion installation discs will work only on Ion
systems. The same holds true for Force hard drives and Force installation discs, as they will only work on
Force systems.

Merit still maintains its solid commitment to its Force platform. This change is due to Ion technology

Performing this upgrade will delete previous information and files on your hard drive. If you want
to retain any pertinent information (ex: Books Screen information), you will need to document that
information before performing the upgrade.

The update process could take from 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the speed of your DVD drive.

5. If you are connected to TournaMAXX or TournaCHAMP, you must perform an Update From Server

before beginning this installation so that no information is deleted.

6. For Force Games: Insert the Force Disc into the drive. If you don't get the disc into the drive before

the game starts to boot-up, turn off the game and turn it back on.
For Ion Games: Insert Ion Disc 1 into the drive. If you don’t get the disc into the drive before the game
starts to boot-up, turn off the game and turn it back on.

7. The message “By continuing with this installation program, you indicate that you accept the

terms of Merit’s software license agreement

” will appear on the screen. If you accept the terms,

select Yes, I agree.

8. For Force Games: Skip to step 9.

For Ion Games: When the first disc is finished installing, the message: "Please replace the current
disc with disc #2 then close the door to continue

" will appear on the screen. Remove the first

disc, insert the disc labeled Disc 2 and close the door.

9. When the installation is complete, the screen will display the message “Installation Complete!

Please remove the disc and Reboot.

”

10. Remove the disc and turn off power to the game.
11. Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable from the centronics connector on the game. Be sure to grasp

the connector and not the cable itself.

12. Turn on the game. When the game boots up, you will be prompted to calibrate the game. Follow the

instructions on the screen.

13. If you are connected to TournaMAXX or TournaCHAMP, you must perform an Update From Server.

You will have to re-enter the dial-in settings first. Refer to the MegaNet manual for instructions.

Re: SATA DVD Software Updates for the Megatouch Rx

Merit’s latest product, the Megatouch Rx, has taken hardware advancements in countertop games to a
new level. The Rx features a new motherboard, widescreen monitor, credit card reader, and SATA hard
drive that the Aurora Widescreen also shares; yet the Rx technologically moves forward, by also featuring
software updates using a SATA DVD drive. The combination of SATA DVD drives and hard drives offer
many advantages over the older technology; they transfer data faster, offer more reliable operation, and
use flexible, thinner cables, which allow for increased air flow and easier access to components. SATA
has been recognized as the new standard in hard drive technology, as 99% of drives in 2008 desktops
were SATA. Merit believes that transitioning to SATA will improve overall system performance, as well as
make software updates quicker and easier.

Although all Ion software upgrade kits come with a hard drive, if you wish to reinstall the software on the
Rx by disc, you will need to use a SATA DVD drive. Merit recommends a standard internal DVD-ROM
drive of 12x or greater speed. The Rx comes with a separate cable to connect an internal SATA DVD
drive. This cable has a SATA connector that attaches to the drive, and an eSATA connector that
attaches to the Rx’s update port. We recommend that you keep this cable connected to your DVD drive
and only connect it to the update port during updates, as the industry standard for the SATA connector is
only 50 insertions/removals and the standard for the eSATA connector is 5,000. If you have an external
SATA drive, you will need to use the cabling that comes with the drive, but it must not be longer than ½
meter (19 inches), since longer cables can cause performance issues.

SATA DVD drives are readily available at retail consumer electronics stores and on the Internet. Merit
has tested and approved the following SATA DVD readers for use with all SATA updates: Lite-On model
HAS120, and Philips & BenQ model DVD8881. Due to variations within a model number, manufacturer
changes, and other variables, Merit cannot guarantee the functionality of any reader. We recommend
that you test your reader with all of your Rx games; however, we have found that most DVD readers will
likely be compatible.

If you have any questions, please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at
800-523-2760 or 215-826-1400, or by e-mail at TechCenter@meritgames.com.

Re: Intel Motherboard Fan Replacement

The full-board warranty offered by Intel on their motherboards covers the factory-installed fan on the

board. This means that the fan on an Intel motherboard (inside Aurora Widescreen and Rx systems)

should not be replaced, as moving this fan will void the warranty on the motherboard. This is due to

the high probability of disturbing the phase change material (the thermal adhesive barrier) during fan

adjustment/replacement, which would render the motherboard inoperable. The Intel motherboard is

under warranty for 2 years, and if a component on the motherboard fails, the board should be

replaced.

If you have any questions please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

Re: Complete Merit Software Updates Are Now Downloadable

Merit Entertainment is announcing a great new advancement for operators – the Download Manager.

The Download Manager is a program that makes it possible for operators to download Merit software

that was previously unavailable for download, either due to the large size of the files or corruptibility

factors. This means that things like complete software version updates can now be downloaded

directly to your computer, and then burned to disc for transfer to your Megatouch systems.

Other files using the Download Manager can be saved on a USB pen for transfer to your Megatouch.

Instructions on the file download screen will tell you the appropriate method for file transfer to your

Megatouch – i.e. disc or USB pen.

At the current time, both Ion and Force 2009 software is available for download, with more software

versions to be made available in the future. Complete versions of software would still need the

appropriate security key to function properly, so these particular downloads are for reinstallation of

software only. (All new software versions must still be purchased to get the appropriate security key.)

The Download Manager can be found on Merit’s Web site

(http://www.meritgames.com/Support_Center/Downloads/DownloadManager.asp), and connected

operators can also use their operator Web site (www.tournamaxx.com) to access the Download

Manager, which can be found under the Support tab on this site. The Download Manager will

currently run on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista operating systems that are running Internet Explorer.

If you have any questions please contact Merit Customer Service and Technical Support by phone at

800-523-2760 or 215-826-1400, or by e-mail at TechCenter@meritgames.com.
