Chapter 2: Getting Started
To get the cash register ready to use
1Remove the cash register and the parts from the box. Store the box and packing material in a safe, dry place. If you need to move the register in the future, you can put it back in the box.
2Remove the tape holding the parts of the cash register in place. For example, there may be tape on the back of the Journal Compartment Cover.
3Put the register on a hard, level surface, away from rain and spilled drinks. A hard level surface makes it easier for the cash drawer to go in and out smoothly.
Do not put the register on a porous surface. Depending on the surface or any cleaning solution used on the surface, the rubber feet may leave marks on the surface. Do not place the register on any valuable surface, such as antique or fine wood tables, desks, and so on.
4Plug the cash register into a standard
Put the cash register on an electrical circuit with no other electrical device or appliance. Other appliances can overload the circuit or cause electrical interference with the cash register. It is best that you use a circuit without other appliances already on it.
5Install the memory backup batteries.
•Open the Journal Compartment cover. Unlock the compartment cover with the Cash Drawer/Journal Lock key #515. Grip the left side of the journal cover and gently pull upward. Remove the cover and put it aside.
•Remove the battery cover, located in the rear left section of the compartment. Press the indentation at the bottom of the cover and slide up. See the graphic to the right for details.
•Put the batteries in the slots. Make sure that the positive and negative ends are in the right place. The batteries have a little plus (positive) and minus (negative) sign on each end to help you.
•Replace the battery cover by sliding it back down into position.
