or by pressing
the Coin Chute #3 switch. Any or all registers can be cleared by alternating between the
Self-Test button and the switch button S33 on the MPU module or Coin Chute #3 switch. The
operator is given this option as a possible convenience and can elect to use or n01use it as his
needs direct.
Pressing the button 5 more times causes the game to play the power-up tune and light the

Service Credits (up to five) appears on the player score displays.

NOTE: If "Total
Play" register is reset to zeroes then "Total Replays" register should also be reset to zeroes to maintain the
game percentage value.
