To get the cash register ready to use
1
Remove 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.
2
Remove 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.
3
Put 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.
4
Plug the cash register into a standard three-hole electrical wall outlet.
(115-120 volt, 60 hertz). Make sure the electrical cord is not going to get
tripped over or accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet.
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.
5
Install 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.
6
Now you are ready to put the paper in the cash register and set the time
and the date. See the next section for more information.
