Congratulations on your purchase of Excalibur Electronics’ Phantom Force! You’ve
purchased both your own personal chess trainer and a partner who’s always ready
for a game—and who can improve as you do! The Phantom Force’s self-moving
pieces and clear voice features provide an unparalleled computer chess experience.
Find the Pieces
Turn The Phantom Force over carefully with the chessboard facedown. Find the
door marked “PIECE COMPARTMENT”. Open it and remove the chess pieces.
Replace the door and set the pieces aside for now.
Mechanism Lock
To protect The Phantom Force during shipping, the piece movement mechanism
is locked into place. With The Phantom Force facedown, find the mechanism lock
switch on the bottom-right side and slide it to the UNLOCK position. Your pieces will
now be able to move across the board.
If you want to relock the movement mechanism, start a New Game. The display
should show
01
CHESS. Now slide the ON/OFF switch to OFF. Turn The Phantom
Force over and slide the mechanism lock switch to the LOCK position.
Install the Batteries
Make sure the power ON/OFF switch on the side is in the OFF position. With The
Phantom Force facedown, find the door marked “BATTERY”. Use a screwdriver to
unscrew the two screws, and remove the door. Insert six (6), fresh, size-C alkaline
batteries into the battery holder. Pay attention to the arrangement of the batteries
called for by the diagram in the holder. Make sure that the positive tip of each
battery matches up with the + sign in the battery compartment so that polarity
will be correct. When the batteries are properly installed, replace the battery
compartment door and screw it shut.
Now turn The Phantom Force over. If you have The Phantom Force AC/DC Adaptor
you may plug it into The Phantom Force power connector located next to the ON/
OFF power switch.
Finally, slide the power ON/OFF switch to the ON position. If The Phantom Force
does not start talking, use a thin pointed object and press the RESET key.
