your family have ever had symptoms possibly related to epilepsy (e.g. loss

of consciousness or seizures) when exposed to flashing lights, please

consult your doctor before using the game. Children should always be

supervised by their parents when using computer and video games. Should

you or your child experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision,

eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, or any form of

involuntary movements or convulsions while operating a computer or

video game, IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your doctor

before playing again.

3 Introduction and Setting Up

Congratulations on your new Games Console. We hope you will have a lot

of fun with it. Please follow the instructions in this manual to make the best

possible use of the product.

3.1 Product Contents Check

The package comprises the following items:

☺ Games console

☺ Instruction manual

3.2 Power Supply

3.2.1 Inserting the batteries

☺ Hold the unit gently with the

front in the palm of your hand,

and open the battery

compartment by pushing the locking tab and then sliding it

open; the cover can now be lifted up.

☺ The ARCADE CLASSIC requires 3 1.5V 'AAA' or 'LR03' type

batteries.

☺ IMPORTANT: At each battery change, please use a

pointed object to press down on the recessed ACL button

inside the compartment (underneath the left-hand battery):

this will help to eliminate any residual current inside the

unit.

☺ When inserting the batteries, ensure correct polarity (+/-). The

terminals must match the symbols on the diagram inside the

compartment.

☺ Close the battery compartment cover.

3.2.2 Using Rechargeable Batteries

We strongly advise you to use alkaline batteries. We do not recommend

rechargeable batteries, as these only have a voltage of 1.2 and therefore

supply insufficient power to the machine.

GB / 5 / 14

If you do wish to use rechargeable batteries (which is not recommended by

the manufacturer), they will not damage the machine but it may function

abnormally. In any case, the period of use (even if they are the special type

with more than 650 mAh capacity) will be considerably shorter than with

normal batteries.

3.2.3 Battery Life

As a rule the batteries will last several hours, but this depends on various

factors.

In the first place it depends on always using batteries of good quality. In

addition the battery life is influenced by the volume of the sound.

If you go against our advice and use rechargeable batteries, the playing

time can be expected to be shorter than with good quality alkaline ones, as

the voltage of rechargeable batteries is only 1.2 V.

The following are signs of low batteries:

☺ The brightness and contrast on the TFT display decrease.

☺ The machine suddenly switches off or returns to its starting screen in

the middle of a game.

☺ The machine will not switch on

In these cases replace the batteries to make the machine work properly

again. Note: The ACL button must be pressed at each battery change.

3.2.4 Important Battery Information

☺ Batteries should only be installed by an adult.

☺ Only use batteries of the recommended type (3 x AAA), and never

mix old and new batteries.

☺ Batteries must always be inserted with the correct polarity (+ or -).

☺ Exhausted batteries are to be removed as soon as possible.

☺ The battery terminals must never be short-circuited!

☺ If the ARCADE CLASSIC is not used for a week or longer, the

batteries should be removed from the unit.

☺ There is a possibility that the unit may be subjected to an electrostatic

charge. Should this occur, restart the unit by taking out the batteries

and pressing the ACL button in the battery compartment; with the

batteries re-inserted, the unit should now function normally again.

☺ Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

☺ Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the unit before being

charged.

☺ Adult supervision is required while charging the batteries.

GB / 6 / 14

☺ Do not dispose of exhausted batteries with the household rubbish.

Take them to a hazardous waste depot.

☺ Help to protect the environment!

4 Trouble shooting

The machine will not switch on

Check whether the batteries are installed correctly (pay attention to the

polarity!) and whether the power is sufficient. If necessary, insert new

batteries. Check whether you have pressed the On/Off button properly. Did

you properly activate the ACL button during the battery change?

The picture appears abnormal

There can often be electrostatic charges. The result can be a flickering

display, lines through the picture, or distorted colours.

If this is the case, switch the ARCADE CLASSIC off and then on again, or

press the RESET button twice. If the problem still persists, you may need

to change the batteries and push the ACL button.

The picture loses brightness and contrast

5 Care of the Product

To ensure lasting enjoyment of your ARCADE CLASSIC observe the

following guidelines for handling it:

☺ Never let the machine get wet.

☺ Protect it from cold, heat or direct sunlight.

☺ Don’t carry your ARCADE CLASSIC around unprotected (for

example in a back pack or handbag), as the display could easily get

scratched by other objects.

☺ We recommend that you cover the display with a transparent

protective film, of the kind supplied for mobile phones, and carry the

machine in a suitable protective case (like those for digital cameras).

☺ On no account press down on the display, as the TFT screen is very

sensitive.

☺ Don’t press the buttons too hard.

☺ Don’t drop your ARCADE CLASSIC.

☺ Never open the casing of the machine.

☺ Don’t let the machine get dirty.

☺ To clean it, always use a dry cloth (preferably microfibre).
