Terminal description:
1.1 Introduction:
The Elite 780RF is a fully self-contained RF EFTPOS
terminal with an integrated printer and the functionality
to process all smart card, debit and credit purchases. The
terminal communicates with the bank using the RF data
network. This network is similar to that used for mobile
phones except that it is for data only. The terminal
features a secure, multi-application operating system,
which allows a number of different applications to run
on the terminal independently, without jeopardizing
software security.

Battery charging procedure:
2.3.1 At Installation:
1. After unpacking it is important to provide an initial
charge. This conditioning cycle is required for the
battery pack to reach full capacity quickly.
2. Connect the terminal to AC power using the
supplied power pack designed for this terminal. You
will know the terminal is receiving AC power when
the display stays on continuously. The terminal
must be charged continuously for 24 hours.
A
Make sure that you use the correct AC power adapter
supplied with the terminal. Many adapters can appear
similar and will plug into the terminal but will not
work properly causing erratic behavior, poor charging
or even damage to the unit
.
2.3.2 Normal use:
A
1.
After a full charge the Terminal in normal usage is
expected to provide 50 or more transactions before
a recharge is required. Slow printing usually
indicates the battery is low.
2. This terminal has a “reserve” capability in the event
that more transactions are occasionally needed. As
long as the print time is acceptable the Terminal
will provide additional transactions beyond normal.
The effect will be continued slowdown of the
printer as well as a longer recharge cycle.
3. In normal use the
charge time is 12 hours. After
extended use the terminal will require additional
charge time, not exceeding 24 hours.
4. If the terminal has been inactive a number
of
weeks
it may require another 24 hour initial charge.
