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

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.
