TEST/DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
WILLIAMS ELECTRONICS GAMES provides a series of diagnostic tests to aid the operator in
determining game condition (that is, whether the game's features and highlights are operating
satisfactorily). These tests activate virtually all the electronic and electromechanical devices com-
prising the game, so that the operator can readily locate a malfunctioning device or simply verify that all
devices are working properly. In order, these tests deal with the music, the displays, the game
sounds, the lamps, the solenoids, and the switches.

BIG GUN's Sysrem-11A game program
greatly aids the operator and service personnel: When the
operator is beginning the Test/Diagnostic Procedures (and also at game Turn-On), the Player 1 dis-
play now signals, with a decimal poiot
by
the rightmost character. that a switch has
NOTbeen
actu-
ated duriog ball play for a lengthy period of time (60 balls, or 20 games). However, for the Switch
Problem Reporting activity at the beginning of the Test! Diagnostic Procedures, the display of prob-
lem switches is
not
limited to iust three switches; it now includes
ALL
switches exhibiting problems.
Refer to the text on Switch Tests for additional information. To proceed with the Test/Diagnostic
Procedures, use AUTO-UP, and press ADVANCE.
In addition 10 the diagnostic testing, a feature called the Auto Burn-in Mode is available. Activating this
mode enables the operator to observe the game while all of the diagnostic tests,
except the switch
test,
occur. This can be very helpful in locating 'intermittent'problems.
Activating either the entire test series or one of the individual tests requires use of the Game
Adjustmentl Diagnostic switches. Open the coin door for access to these switches. To proceed to
the Diagnostic Tests, the operator must simply switch the game On, set the AUTO-UP/MANUAL-
DOWN switch to MANUAL-DOWN, and press the ADVANC§__~utton.
