Megatouch Live Requirements

Your ML-1 requires a broadband Internet connection in order to function. Please

be sure that the location has an active broadband Internet connection available.

NOTE: Wireless connections support WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.

Additionally, your Megatouch Live system will not function unless you have completed a

Megatouch Live Operator Agreement, returned this agreement to AMI, and have been

givenanAMI ID andpassword.Thisagreement onlyneedsto be completedonce, and the

AMIID and password youareissued can be usedforall of your MegatouchLivesystems.

NOTE: If you have not completed a Megatouch Live Operator Agreement, please

contact AMI Tech Support at 800-523-2760.

Site Preparation

Indetermining the location for your Megatouch video game, consideration must be given

to a suitable, grounded electrical outlet. Since the game is a computerized device, it

should have a separate circuit, if at all possible. If a separate circuit is not available, care

should be taken to provide a clean and constant voltage. As a basic guideline, never

connect the unit to a circuit that also supplies power to freezers, coolers or other high

powerconsuming andelectricalnoise generatingequipment.Place the gamein a location

where nothing will interfere with proper ventilation. The game should not be exposed to

anydripping or splashingliquids. Objects ﬁlledwith liquid shouldnotbe placed onthe unit.
