Please Be Informed…
The cabinet linking instructions as they originally appear in the manual for the 27” and
39” Dedicated Cruis’n Exotica
™ improperly state how to link multiple game cabinets.
The correct instructions are as stated below.
QUICK REFERENCE CABINET LINKING INSTRUCTIONS
To link two or more cabinets, use the factory installed linking cable and follow the
instructions for “Wiring Modifications and Software Setup” located below.
CABINET ARRAYS
To create a Video Game Machine (VGM) Array, join the cabinets together. Each VGM comes equipped
with the necessary hardware to connect cabinets and provide maximum stability. Hardware is located in
the spare parts bag inside the cash box.
To join cabinets, remove the flat-head carriage bolts from the top and rear of adjacent cabinet sides.
Position cabinets next to one another and adjust the leg levelers until all holes are aligned. Insert long
carriage bolts through the holes in both cabinets, and then fasten in place with the nuts provided.

 NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
Each VGM comes complete with a factory installed Fire W ire linking cable.
Take care to protect exposed wiring from player foot traffic, cleaning crews, service personnel, etc. Use
approved conduit or wire channels to support cables. Please note that modular connectors do not have
strain relief.
Prevent linking cables from being damaged by avoiding sources of extreme heat or moisture, and high
amounts of electrical energy like neon signs, fluorescent fixtures, cordless phones, power circuits, etc.
Clearly label all connections to avoid confusing linking cables with computer or telephone circuits.
WIRING MODIFICATIONS AND SOFTWARE SETUP
1.  Unlock and remove the rear door from the cabinets selected to be part of the array. Inside the cabinet
you will find a coil of linking cable with one end already attached to game electronics. Uncoil just
enough of the cable to reach game electronics in the next cabinet, then recoil the rest of the cable
and tie it in place. Repeat this procedure for each of the other cabinets. Do not reinstall the cabinet
door(s) at this time.
2.  Route the free end of each cable out through the notch located in the rear door opening and plug into
the game electronics in another game cabinet.
3. Make sure excess cable is tied into a coil and that all cables are routed through the notch in the rear
door
.
CAUTION : 
Do not connect or disconnect any cable to the game electronics with the
power turned on. Circuit disruptions may damage the game and void the warranty.
4.  Switch on power and closely observe the screen for each cabinet during start up. Each automatically
enters ATTRACT MODE if no errors are found.  Refer to Troubleshooting in the operation manual if
errors are detected.
5.  Unlock the coin door for each cabinet to access the operator control buttons inside coin vault. Press
and hold the TEST button to enter the menu system.
¾  Check the EPROM, GUTS, and MAIN information at the bottom of each game’s SELF TEST
menu screen.
¾  Verify linked games have compatible software versions. Newer versions may contain instructions
previous versions do not, causing games to halt or reset at random.
¾  Repeat this and all remaining steps for each linked cabinet.
6.  Press the View 1 or View 2 button to select GAME OPTIONS. Press the ABORT button to activate
this item. Set the CABINET #; keeping in mind that each cabinet must have its own individual and
unique number. The first cabinet on the left is always cabinet 1, the second is cabinet 2, etc.
7.  Select LINKING TESTS then press the TEST button to activate it. Observe all linked cabinets will be
listed in this screen. Refer to Menu System descriptions in the manual for more details.
8.  Select CONTROLS TESTS. Follow on-screen instructions to confirm proper control operation. Press
and hold the TEST button to reset steering wheel and pedal travel limits.
9.  Select SOUND TESTS. Confirm operation of all cabinet and seat speakers, and each amplifier.
10.  Select MONITOR TESTS. Perform all tests and adjustments to ensure high quality video.
11.  Close and lock the coin door, and reinstall and lock the rear door for each cabinet.
