     SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    The following safety instructions apply to operators and service personnel. Read these instructions before
    preparing the game for play. Other safety instructions appear throughout this manual.
    DEFINITIONS OF SAFETY TERMS
    DANGER
     indicates an imminent hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it W ILL cause death or serious
    injury.
    WARNING
     indicates a potential hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it COULD cause death or serious
    injury.
    CAUTION
     indicates a potential hazard. If you fail to avoid this hazard, it MAY cause minor or moderate
    injury. CAUTION also alerts you about unsafe practices.
    NOTICE
     indicates information of special importance.
    WARNING: TRANSPORTING GAMES
     This game contains glass and fragile electronic
    devices. Use appropriate care when transporting this game. Avoid rough handling when
    moving the cabinet. Do not move this game with AC power ON.
    WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER
     Always turn AC power OFF and unplug the game
    before attempting service or adjustments unless otherwise instructed. Installing or
    repairing PC boards with power ON can damage components and void the warranty.
    WARNING: GROUND GAMES
    . Avoid electrical shocks! Do not plug in a game until you
    have inspected and properly grounded it. Only plug this game into a grounded, three-
    wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the line cord.
    WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCKS
    . This video game system does not utilize
    an isolation transformer. Internal cabinet AC is not isolated from the external AC line.
    WARNING: HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE.
     If you drop a
    fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet
    or more from the implosion.
    CAUTION: CHECK POWER SELECTOR, LAMP.
     Set the 115/230VAC selector on the
    power supply for the correct line voltage. Check the selector setting before switching on
    the game. Verify that the fluorescent lamp assembly is correct for the local line voltage.
    CAUTION: USE PROPER FUSE.
     Avoid electrical shock! Replacement fuses must be of
    the same type as those they replace. Fuse voltage and current ratings must match
    ratings on the original fuse.

    CAUTION: ATTACH CONNECTORS PROPERLY.
     Be sure that printed circuit board
    (PCB) connectors mate properly. If connectors do not slip on easily, do not force them. A
    reversed connector may damage your game and void the warranty. Connector keys only
    allow a connector to fit one set of pins on a board.
    CAUTION: USE CARE WHEN SHIPPING HARD DISKS.
     The hard disk drive must be
    packed in an anti-static bag. W hen shipping the drive for repair or replacement, pack it in
    an approved container (P/N 08-8068). Do not stack or drop hard disk drives. Moving
    cabinet while AC power is on can also damage hard drive.
    WARNING: HAZARD TO EPILEPTICS.
     A very small portion of the population has a
    condition which may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have momentary
    loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are
    present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while
    watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. People who
    have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic
    condition.
    If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition
    (e.g., seizures or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using
    any video games.
    W e recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you
    or your child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle
    twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions,
    DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.
    Welcome to Skins Game!
    It’s a beautiful day on the digital fairway. Midway Games W est Inc. keeps the greens perpetually
    immaculate. In Skins Game, you and up to three other players are invited to practice your putting, perfect
    your drive, or simply haul off and lob a bucket of balls into the water hazards. Don’t worry. W e’ll refill the
    bucket.
    Ultra-realistic Skins Game is just like a round of golf, minus the strenuous exercise. Your Midway caddy
    warns you about sand traps and water hazards and offers the best route for your shots. She selects what
    she thinks is the best club, but you may choose yourself from a full bag of putters, drivers, wedges, and
    irons—all custom crafted for optimal performance. As you enjoy your game, birds chirp peacefully in the
    distance and the sun shines with nary a cloud to speak of. Heatstroke is never a problem.
    Adjust your stance and shot direction all you like, but your virtual player begins each stroke oriented in the
    best stance and direction to hit the pin. W hile the three-dimensional terrain forces your ball to follow
    Newtonian physics, your shot “snaps” to the pin unless you choose to aim elsewhere. And a peek at the
    wind gauge may convince you to do so! The wind will send your ball off course if you’re not careful.
    Of course in Extreme Mode, say bye-bye to Mr. Newton as you change the ball’s path or spin in mid-flight.
    Players who don’t dawdle at the tee earn QuickShot bonuses, rewards for hitting the ball within 15
    seconds. Collecting 10 QuickShot bonuses gives you an extra Power Shot. And Power Shots mean added
    distance with your clubs. However, you must carefully time the joystick release, or your Power Shot
    becomes a nasty hook or slice. Normally, players earn one Power Shot for each three holes.
    As your game improves (or not), a hard drive records your scores. W ith the keypad, you can enter a PIN
    that identifies you and calls up your statistics–in case there was any doubt about your birdie on the fourth
    hole at Eagle Ridge.
