Check Screen appears, but it does not change to Advertise Screen. Normally the Network

20-2 NETWORK PLAY PRECAUTIONS
The operation of a unit when connected to another for network play is different than that of a
stand-alone unit. Administration of network units should be handled carefully.
Entering Test Mode will cause any other machines set up for network play to display the
Network Check Screen. When customers are playing the game, do not enter Test Mode on any
network play-enabled machine.
 In network play, difficulty level and other settings are made from Seat
Number 1. Changing the settings at Seat Number 1 also changes the settings
for Seat Number 2. Settings for Seat Number 2 cannot be changed from Seat
Number 2 and so will not appear in the list of settings.
 Should a network connection fail during network play, gameplay will be
suspended and the Network Check Screen will be displayed.
 If one of the units attached for network play enters Test Mode, the other unit
will display the Network Check Screen.
 Even when units are connected for network play, each seat, each game may
be given different cost settings. Incorrect cost settings may cause budget
balancing problems.
