FCC lNFORMATION
The Federal Communication Commission Radio Frequency interference Statement includes the
followmg paragraph
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are deSigned to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may
cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no grantee that interference
Will not occur in a particular installation. if this equipment close cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
--Reorient or relocate the receivmg antenna
«increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-»Connect the equipment into an outlet on a Circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
—»Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The user should not modify or change this equipment Without written approval form NTN
Modification could veld authority to use this equipment

RF Delivery Guidelines A
Overview
The NTN Communications inc. interactive hospitality system installation consists of four major elements:
1) Downlink
2) Local RF delivery system
3) Video integration
4) Modem return path
The satellite data receiver (IDR), RF transceiver (Base Station), video card, and modem are all integrated in
the computer. The system receives data from satellite via a 75 meter prodelin dish which has a non-
penetrating mount. The computer output is converted to NTSC video by the video card, this signal is then
inserted into the existing video distribution system. Panicipants interact with the system using wireless
keypads called Playmakers. The Base Station broadcasts a RF signal, transmitting on 900 MHz range
frequency. Additional antennas installed over the playing area deliver this signal and are connected to
the Base Station with coaxial cable, The modem transmits data back to NTN's head end via an 800 phone
number, completing the return path.
2) RF delivery System
Base Station
Base Station, a transceiver that is installed inside the PC, transmits and receives signals to and
from the playmakers and the PC. It has a TNC connector on the front and 2 indicator (Ready,
Noise) lights.
Antenna
Antenna is the interface between the Base Station (host) and the Playmakers (remotes). Therefore, it
plays a crucial part in NTN‘s RF delivery system.
When running antenna line, be sure to mount the antenna at least 7 ft high and in the quietest spot in
the main play area.
Playmakers
Playmakers (remotes), the wireless, hand held keyboard terminals which are used to play the NTN games,
transmit to and receive data from the NTN system. Playmakers have embedded features, which can be
used to troubleshoot RF reception problem.
The Playmaker charging system must be on an uninterrupted power source. It is best that all Playmakers
should be put out whenevemssible for maxrmum 59125 uses. It only takes 12 hours to fully charge the
battery, the batteries should operate for no less than 16 hours under constant use; the batteries are NiMHA
Consult with the subscriber to determine tray location. Optimally, Playmakers should be readily
accessible to the sewing staff, install the charging trays as early as possible in the installation so they can
begin charging.
RF delivery system requirements
0 Antennas installed in line of sight central to the playing area.
0 R66 cable or provided R058
DO NOT:
0 Locate antennas near any potential sources of interference to the NTN system i.e.:
neon and fluorescent Ilghts, projection TV's, electrical panels etc.
0 Allow antennae ends or boxes to come in contact with any metal.
0 Run cable next to electrical lines.
Locate antennas above the ceiling.
Mix R06 and R058
Splice Cable
0000
Coil excess cable
FCC Disclaimer
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
Computing Device Peripheral, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
eqmpment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense In
such cases the use is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
* Reorienl or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver,
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications to the NTN Base Station or the
attachable antenna not expressly approved by NTN votds the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

1)WS is to set Playmaker number (1-200). In the near future, the Playmaker number will be
eliminated. It will be automatically assigned by HDT each time RDT power on.
4)Cha is to set Playmakers scanning frequency. It should be set to ”A” and range from 01—04.
Press ”Q” to exit management function, and “ESC” will take you one menu level up
APPENDIX
RF Delivery Guidelines
Ba5|c Antenna assembly (group) = (1) 10 ft RG58 cable, fittings, (1) antenna box, (2) antenna ends.
Antenna placement depends on the environment and the Size of the playing area.
Wood structure has no effect on RF signals Metal, brick and concrete will greatly affect RF signals.
1.
Installing Antenna assembly
A. If the playing area = 100 ft x 100 ft: One antenna assembly can be installed anywhere within the
playing area.
B. if the playing area = 200 ft x 200 ft: One antenna assembly must be installed close to the center
of the playing area
installing Coaxial Cable
a. Use either provided R658 cable.
b. Avoid running cable over or parallel to electrical wires.
RF broadcast and receive test
Run diagnostic screen from the main menu. Press any key on the playmakers. Playmakers should
beep. The LCD screens on the playmakers and the TV screens should show the keys you just pressed.
If the key strokes do not show up on the TV screen, the Base Station is not receiving the data from the
playmakers.
if the playmakers do not beep, they're not receiving data from the Base Station. If it happens to only
one playmaker, it’s a bad playmaker.
if the playmakers are receiving but the LCD on the playmakers do not show any key, the playmakers
may have bad LCD or they do not transmit data correctly.
