Interactive Hospitality System Installation includes: CPU Downlink / Uplink or Cable/DSL Video integration RF delivery system Downlink/Uplink (VSAT) The system receives and transmits data from satellite G3C using VSAT technology. System components include the RCST (transceiver), BUC (block uplink converter), LNB, and 1.2 meter antenna. OR Cable/DSL The system receives and transmits data via internet connectivity. The NTN CPU is connected to an available LAN port of a site-sponsored router/cable modem that has been preconfigured for NTN. Video integration The NTN CPU’s video output signal is a National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) video signal. This signal can be integrated by connecting to straight video inputs or by first converting into an RF signal using a video modulator, then inserting into the existing video distribution system via a signal combiner. RF delivery system The Base Station transmits to and receives RF signals from, wireless keypads called Playmakers, on a 900 MHz frequency via one antenna installed over the playing area. Participants interact with the system using Playmakers. A 2.4GHZ system is also in use with customer’s on specific packages and/or with specific RF delivery response issues.

Installation Procedures PC Location: • Identify the PC location as indicated on the work order. • Identify the power source and open Ethernet port dedicated for the NTN system. • It is critical to locate the PC in close proximity to the play area for optimal system performance. • PC location should be well ventilated. • Always leave the keyboard attached to the computer to enable future maintenance procedures. Power Source: • Do not put the power source on the same circuit as any motorized units, as it will create power surge when motors are activated. • Avoid circuits controlled by wall switches. • Advised the customer the NTN computer and RCST must always have power. Component functionality check: • Gather & confirm all components are onsite. • Boot up and test PC for functionality, using a portable color monitor (required tool). • Plug in Chargers and initiate charging all Playmakers® • Verify no pre-existing video distribution problems are present Connectivity See VSAT Installation Manual or Tools Menu-Internet Adaptor Setup Video • Modulate and Insert the two iTV channels into the existing distribution system. Audio • Connect the provided audio cables from the PC’s sound output to the modulator’s audio inputs so the NTN system will be ready for future sound features. RF Delivery When installing antenna line, be sure to permanently mount the antenna after verifying range within the playing area. For optimal coverage, antenna should be in line-of-sight to the center of the playing area. However, given cable length restrictions, it is probable that the antenna will merely penetrate the periphery of the playing area. This is acceptable. • Used the 25 ft or 100 ft antenna cable provided by NTN. • Antenna must be placed at least 7 ft high and in the quietest location, as determined by signal/noise diagnostics. • Turn on and test all Playmakers. • Relocate the RF antenna if necessary. • Once the best antenna location is determined, permanently mount the antenna. Restrictions Do not: 10 • Locate antenna near any potential sources of interference to the NTN system (neon and fluorescent lights, projection TVs, electrical lines, electrical panel’s etc.) • Allow antennae mount to come in contact with any metal. • Run cable parallel to electrical lines. • Splice cable. • Mount antenna with any mirror between the antenna and the playing area. • Use more than 1 antenna. Playmaker Related Tests Duplicate Address Each Playmaker has an address or “unit number” assigned to it. These addresses or unit numbers allow the computer to recognize the Playmakers individually. Playmakers with the same address will respond as a single unit, interfering with one another. The address appears as a three-digit number on the third line of the LCD immediately after the unit is powered up. Check all Playmaker addresses to verify that there are no duplicates. Upon finding duplicate address problem, please call NTN and the customer service representative will correct the problem for you immediately. Playmaker Reception Test In some cases, the Playmakers exhibit a lag between input and execution. If the unit does not respond in two or three attempts, place it in the charging tray for about 5 to 8 seconds and the unit will reset itself. Remove the unit from the charging tray and try again. If this does not solve the problem the batteries may not be fully charged or the playmaker needs repair. 1. Test Procedure Between Game Cycles a. PressUNIT XXX b. Two symbols are momentarily displayed to the right side of this greeting. The battery symbol represents the level of charge as indicated by the number of horizontal lines. Newer Playmakers give the charge level a numerical value ranging from 0 - 99. The antenna symbol blinks indicating a search for the antenna. It disappears when the antenna is located. The Playmaker screen will go blank after a few seconds. Battery Battery: 99 Antenna ↓>, select Manager Functions. c. Press
