Power-On Self-Tests - Atari San Francisco Rush 2049 Safety, Specifications, Inspection & Installation

POWER-ON SELF-TESTS

The Power-On Self-Tests let the game calibrate the player controls. Don't touch the wheel during the test.
These basic tests run automatically. They detect faults that would prevent proper game operation.
The Power-On Self-Test (POST) runs whenever you switch power off and on. The POST also runs
whenever the processor resets. The POST prevents system calibration errors to critical player controls.
A successful self-test takes less than one minute to complete. Note down messages before proceeding to
menus or game play. Players can override this screen, but may reduce performance.
After the above screen appears, the system turns the steering wheel to each of its extremes. The screen
indicates maximum and minimum position values. Dirt, debris, binding, or loose parts may cause this
routine to detect errors. The calibration routine requires less than 10 seconds.
Don't touch the wheel or pedals during the automatic portion of this calibration routine. If the self-test has
determined that the pedals are not set correctly, on-screen messages direct you to press and release
each pedal to set travel limits. These new values will be stored in memory.
Steering wheel and pedal positions are checked for position and function. Messages appear on screen as
each item is tested, along with detected errors. Diagnose errors more thoroughly by manual testing.
ABORT. Use the ABORT button to cancel the POST. Allow the tests to complete at least once before
aborting. Pressing ABORT starts the game. Yet if faults exist, players may not be able to control the cars.
During service or repair, you may need to repeatedly disconnect and restore power. Each break in power
causes these tests to rerun. After the first time, you may press ABORT to skip unwanted tests.
NOTICE: When the games are linked, the cabinet number error message may
appear during or after the Power-On Tests screen. Select and set a unique
cabinet number at each video game machine to eliminate this error.
