Please read before using this video game system or allowing your children to use it. Some people are
susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light
patterns in everyday life. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain television images or playing
certain video games. This may happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never had
any epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy (seizures or
loss of consciousness) when exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to playing. We advise that
parents should monitor the use of video games by their children. If you or your child experience any of the
following symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation,
any involuntary movement or convulsion, while playing a video game, IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult
your doctor.

• Do not stand too close to the screen. Sit a good distance away from the television screen, as far away as 

the length of the cable allows.

• Preferably play the game on a small television screen.

• Avoid playing if you are tired or have not had much sleep.

• Make sure that the room in which you are playing is well lit.

• Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes per hour while playing a video game.

Insert the Championship Manager™ 3 CD-ROM into your CD-drive and close it. Wait for the ‘installation program’
to autorun. Once the start up screen has appeared, follow the on-screen prompts to install Championship
Manager™ 3 to your hard drive. If you find that Championship Manager™ 3 has not autorun on your machine,
simply open ‘My Computer’ and double-click on your CD-drive. Then double-click on ‘Setup’ to start the process. If
you want to play Championship Manager™ 3 after installation, it will be located in the ‘Programs’ folder which is
accessed by pressing the ‘Start’ button in the bottom left-hand corner of the Windows ‘95/98 desktop.

On opening Championship Manager™ 3 you are presented with the Main Menu screen from which you can make,
load or delete Championship Manager™ 3 games. On your very first loading of Championship Manager™ 3 you
will be asked for your local currency and language settings. Once made you will not be asked again for them, but
should you wish to change them it is possible to do so from Game Settings on the Menu Bar.

To start a new game of Championship Manager™ 3 click the Start New Game button. You will be first presented
with a screen asking you which leagues you wish to run in your new game. 

Selected Leagues
Those nations that are selected provide the core leagues of the game. It is
possible to have just one national league in operation, or all of them. It really
just depends on how quick your computer is and how much time you want to
spend playing the game. Your managerial career will be based in the leagues
that you have selected, so if you want to be able to manage in England, Italy
and Spain, all three countries must be selected. It is not possible to manage
a club in those nations that you want running in background only.

With the game underway it is possible to chat with the other players, either as a group or as individuals by using
the chat options on your Main Menu. The message that you send will present itself in the appropriate player’s
News screen. Likewise, if you receive an incoming chat message from another player in the game, you are
alerted to its presence in the same way as normal game news.

During the course of a Championship Manager™ 3 network game
there appears an additional indicator on the Main Menu
which at each game turn starts a countdown during which
any player in the game may stop the countdown to
perform a managerial task. Should the countdown be
stopped, the game will pause and all players will be
alerted to which player they are waiting for. Once
the player has completed their task and decided
to hit the Continue Game button on their Main
Menu the game will proceed as normal.
