The Intermission Code and the Automatic Blank Screen

blank after five minutes. To turn the screen on again, you simply press any key on either
Hand Controller.
The purpose of this unique feature is to eliminate the possibility of a permanent playfield
image being imprinted on your television screen.

How to Return Your Television Set to Regular Programming

1. Slide the POWER switch on the Master Component to OFF. (On INTELLIVISION II, press
down and hold ON/OFF/RESET button for 2 seconds.)
2. Slide the switch on the Antenna Switch Box from GAME to TV.

The Hand Controllers

The Master Component contains two Hand Controllers which are permanently attached with
coil cables. (On INTELLIVISION II and SEARS TELE-GAMES SUPER VIDEO ARCADE
consoles, hand controllers are detachable. Make sure controllers are securely plugged in
before playing.)
Since the Hand Controllers are crucial to any game you play, hold the Hand Controller in
your hand before you begin play, just to get the feel of it.

If for any reason you wish to interrupt your game, use the
Intermission Code on your Hand Controller. Merely depress
keys 1 and 9 simultaneously on either one of the Hand
Controllers. This will cause the television screen to go blank
and will freeze the game at the point you left it. To resume
the game, just push any key on either Hand Controller and
the game will begin again where you left off.
If you leave the game without using the Intermission Code,
the Master Component will automatically turn the screen
