CX22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT: Read this Owner's Manual before setting up your ATARI 2600 TRAK-BALL console. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your ATARI 2600 TRAK- BALL controller. Now you can have arcade action in your own living room- simply connect your TRAK-BALL controller to your game console, plug in any Joystick-compatible game program, and you're ready to go! Your TRAK-BALL offers great game-playing features: 360 degree move- ment, precise player control, and instant starts and stops. You'll especially see the difference with fast-action Atari games, like MISSILE COMMAND, CENTIPEDE, YARS' REVENGE, DEFENDER, and GALAXIAN. With the 2600 TRAK-BALL controller, Atari brings arcade action home to stay! USING YOUR TRAK-BALL SET UP For one-player games, plug your TRAK-BALL into the LEFT CONTROLLER jack. For two-player games, plug an addi- tional TRAK-BALL into the RIGHT CONTROLLER jack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For optimal performance, set your TRAK-BALL controller on a level surface such as a table or floor. If the controller is tilted too far in any direction, it may interfere with the con- troller's performance. TRAK-BALL ACTION Since your TRAK-BALL controller has two fire buttons- one on each side of the rotating ball- the controller can be used with the right or left hand. You can move players in any direction on the screen with your 2600 TRAK-BALL controller. To move a player quickly, spin the ball rapidly in the desired direction. To stop move- ment, simply halt the TRAK-BALL. NOTE: The rolling action of the TRAK-BALL should become smoother with use. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your ATARI 2600 TRAK-BALL controller will bring you many years of enjoyment. To keep it in good working condition, please remember the following: •To protect the precision-engineered design of your TRAK-BALL, always play with clean hands. Keep the ball clean by wiping it frequently with a soft dry cloth. •Do not spill liquids on the controller. Liquids can easily seep down around the ball, resulting in slow-down and poor response. If liquids are spilled on the TRAK-BALL, have your controller serviced as soon as possible. •Do not lift the TRAK-BALL by its connecting cord. This could bend or crimp the wires and break the internal insulation. •Be careful not to drop your TRAK-BALL or subject it to sudden jolts. •Do not expose the console to extreme high or low temperatures. •Clean the exterior surface of the console with a soft, slightly damp cloth. •Unplug your controller when not in use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ATARI SERVICE Factory Authorized Network Call toll-free: (800) 672-1404 (in California) (800) 538-8543 (Continental U.S.) COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS To comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations and to keep your ATARI unit from interfering with television reception on nearby television sets, please observe the following: •This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if it is not installed properly, it may cause interference to radio and television reception.
