Screen Calibration
The machine must be in the idle mode or game
select mode to calibrate the touchscreen.
•
Find the “CALIBRATE” button located behind the
coin mech and press it to enter the screen
calibration mode.
•
Touch the center of the first circle that appears
on the screen. Once you release your finger, a
second circle will appear on the screen.
NOTE: YOU MUST HOLD YOUR FINGER ON THE CIRCLE
FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS FOR THE
CALIBRATION TO BE RECOGNIZED.
•
Touch the center of the second circle that
appears on the screen.
•
Once the second circle is touched, a crosshair
will appear on the screen. To test the calibration
of the screen, touch the crosshair with your
finger and slowly drag your finger around the
screen. The crosshair should follow your
movement.
•
Touch the “EXIT TEST” icon.
NOTE: On upright models, if you open the
monitor door while the machine is on, you will
have to recalibrate the touchscreen.
Degaussing your Monitor
If your monitor is displaying “purity problems,” (a
display with purity problems will have parts of an all-
white screen affected by blotches of color) the
monitor needs to be degaussed using a “degaussing
coil.” A degaussing coil is a circular electromagnet,
used to cancel out any stray magnetic fields that may
build up on a metal object.
All of our monitors have built-in degaussing coils that
are automatically activated on power-up. If your
game is experiencing minor purity problems, try
powering down the game for 5 minutes and then
reapplying power to activate the degaussing coil. If
the problem is not corrected, you will have to use a
manual degaussing coil.
Follow the instructions below for degaussing a
monitor.
1. Plug in your degaussing coil.
2. Hold the coil about three feet from the monitor,
press the trigger to activate the magnetic field
(for circular-shaped coils, orient the coil so you
see the monitor through the hole in the middle;
for wand-shaped coils, point the wand towards
the screen).
3. Move the coil in a circular motion around the
face of the monitor and slowly approach the
game.
4. Continuing to move the coil in a circular motion,
slowly back away from the monitor.
5a. CIRCULAR-SHAPED COILS: When you are
about three feet away, quickly turn the coil
perpendicular to the monitor and release the
trigger.
5b. WAND-SHAPED COILS: When you are about
three feet away, point the wand away from the
monitor and release the trigger.
Monitor Colors Adjustment
Procedure
For adjusting the colors on any of our monitor types,
we suggest following the procedures described
below.
The vertical/horizontal controls and
brightness/contrast controls are located on the
monitor control panel, Velcroed inside the game. The
monitor RGB controls are located on the monitor
neckboard. Adjust the RGB controls until the screens
look as suggested in the following steps.
Ducksan/Telco/Tatung Monitors
1. Set the game to the Run 21 game screen.
2. Adjust the vertical and horizontal size and
vertical and horizontal position to make sure that
the game screen fills the monitor screen and that
the game screen is centered.
3. Adjust the brightness and contrast controls until
the playing cards are a light, ivory color.
(Adjusting the brightness and contrast can also
correct for a lack of sharpness in the picture.)
