Chapter 1 – Safety and Warnings

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING THIS GAME, A GROUNDED A.C. RECEPTACLE MUST BE

USED. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.

FAILURE TO USE A GROUNDED RECEPTACLE COULD ALSO CAUSE IMPROPER GAME

OPERATION, OR DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRONICS.

DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG ON THE POWER CORD FOR

THE SAME REASON AS GIVEN ABOVE. USING AN IMPROPERLY GROUNDED GAME

COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK YOU’RE A.C. RECEPTACLE TO BE SURE THE

GROUND IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

INSTALLATION

The game comes ready to play with just a few simple things to keep in mind.

1. Plug the game into the A.C. outlet and turn on power to the game. The switch for the game

is located on a power module on the outside rear of the game.

THIS GAME IS DESIGNED TO DISSIPATE STATIC ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE

GROUNDING PLANE OF THE GAME. IF THE A.C. GROUND DOES NOT WORK, THE GAME

COULD DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE GAME CIRCUITRY, WHICH

COULD CAUSE DAMAGE.

2. Make sure the game is level after installation. It is necessary to make sure the game is level

for safety concerns.

3. Place the game into its final location and use the adjusting feet to level the game.

4. Check that the A.C. voltage rating on the back of the game matches the A.C. voltage of your

location.

THE POWER SUPPLY IS NOT VOLTAGE ADJUSTABLE. TO OPERATE THE GAME AT VOLTAGES

OTHER THAN THOSE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR. PLEASE CONTACT OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT

FOR VOLTAGE CONVERSION INFORMATION.

WARNING

DO NOT remove any of the components on the main board (e.g. compact flash and

eproms) while the game is powered on. This may cause permanent damage to the

parts and the main board. Removing any main board component part while powered on

will void the warranty.

NOTE: THIS GAME IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.

ON THE BACK PANEL OF THE GAME: WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD - DO NOT

OPEN. REFER SERVICING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Chapter 2 – Game Setup and Features

Player Controls

Start/Fish Button

The Start/Fish button is used to start a game once the proper number of credits has been inserted.

Once a game has been started, the Start/Fish button is used to drop the hook in order to catch fish.

There are two Start/Fish buttons, one for the left player and one for the right player.

Playing The Game

The objective of the game is to catch as many fish as possible within the game time in order to

accumulate points and tickets. Fish come out on 4 different levels with the highest points being

awarded for the fish on the bottom level.

There are other bonus items such as: treasure chest – awards jackpot amount, blow fish – multiplies

fish amounts X 2 for the remainder of the game, and time bonus – awards more time. In addition,

there are junk items (tire, boot, license plate and can) that award no points.

Chapter 4 – Troubleshooting

CAUTION

This game uses complex electronic components that are very sensitive to static electricity. Observe

precautions below before handling these electronics. Failure to do so may void the warranty and

damage electronic assemblies.

 Before servicing electronics, turn off AC power to the game. Wait for capacitors to discharge.

 DO NOT remove any of the components on the main board (e.g. compact flash and eproms)

while the game is powered on. This may cause permanent damage to the parts and the main

board.

 Before touching or handling electronic assemblies, discharge static electricity on your body.

To discharge this static, begin by connecting the line cord to a grounded outlet. Don’t turn on

the game. Next, touch the safety ground stud of the power supply chassis.

 Store electronic assemblies in an anti-static area. Use anti-static bags to store or transport

the game circuit boards.

 Don’t remove or connect electronic assemblies when cabinet power is on. Otherwise, you’ll

damage electronic assemblies and void the game’s warranty.

 After you complete maintenance or service, replace ground wires, shields, safety covers and

install and tighten ground and mounting screw.

 Video game monitors generate and store potentially high voltages. Avoid touching any part of

the monitor until power has been off for some time. A picture tube can maintain a hazardous

charge for up to several days. Only qualified technicians should service monitors.

Game Is Non-Functional

1. Verify that the game power switch is turned on.

2. Verify that the line cord connector is firmly and correctly seated into the power entry module of

AC power chassis.

3. Verify that correct AC line voltage is present at the outlet

4. Verify that the JAMMA wire harness connector is firmly and properly seated to the mating

JAMMA PCB edge connector. DO NOT remove or install JAMMA connector when power is

turned on. Doing so will damage the CPU assembly and void the warranty.

5. Verify that the DC power supply voltages at the game CPU assembly are set as follows. The

following voltages should be set when the game CPU assembly is connected and the game is

powered on.

+5V: +4.9V - +5.1V /// +12V: +11.5V - +12.5V //// -5V: -4.75V - -5.25V

14

6. Verify that the non-JAMMA connectors are attached at the proper location and are firmly

seated.

7. Verify that the game DIP switches are set properly.

8. Inspect CPU board under low-light conditions. LED’s glow if processor circuits receive

voltage. These indications prove presence of some DC from power supply. Still, voltages or

signals may not be present.

Monitor Is Non-Functional

1. Verify that the cabinet AC line voltage cable is firmly and properly connected to mating AC

connector on monitor.

2. Verify that the cabinet video signal cable connector is firmly and properly connected to the

mating video signal input connector of the monitor.

3. Verify that the monitor remote adjustment board is properly installed and connected to the

monitor chassis.

4. Verify monitor is operating properly by replacing with know good unit.

5. Verify that brightness and contrast are set above their minimum levels.

6. Verify that the game is using a low-res monitor.

Sound Is Non-Functional

1. Verify the cabinet wiring is correct. Ensure that the speakers are properly connected to the

audio wires from the JAMMA connector.

2. Verify that the power is providing:

+5V: +4.9V - +5.1V

+12V: +11.5V - +12.5V

-5V: -4.75V - -5.25V

3. Verify that the above listed voltages are present at the correct JAMMA connector pins.

4. Verify that the game volume has been turned up.

Game Controls Are Non-Functional

1. Verify that the each individual switch is working by doing the SWITCH INPUT TEST under the

SYSTEM TESTS MENU.

2. Verify that the each individual signal wire for each switch is connected.
