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.

Installation procedure: 

A

   

Important Note: 

The battery must be charged for 24 

hours before using the terminal for any purpose 
including key injection, program loading or customer 
use. 

  

(See Paragraph 2.3) 

2.1   Paper loading (If required): 

1. Open the paper compartment cover. 
2. Move the paper load lever forward to disengage the 

friction roller. 

3. Remove the empty paper roll by pressing the roll release 

lever on the right hand side. 

4. Position the paper roll with the end of the roll protruding 

from UNDERNEATH the roll. 

5. Feed the paper under the printer’s roller until it protrudes 

from the top of the printer. 

6. Fit the paper roll to the spindle and move the paper load

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.
