the positive and negative ends are in the right
place. The batteries have a little plus (positive)

you.
• Replace the battery cover. Slide the bottom tabs into the long slit in the
bottom position and snap the cover into place. Do not put the tabs in
the 2 holes in the bottom of the compartment. The cover will not close
and you will break the tabs.
About the Serial Port
Your cash register includes a serial
port on the right side of the cash
register. You can connect items to the
cash register using this serial port. You
can only connect one device to the
serial port at a time.
To use the optional barcode reader, you must connect it to the serial port.
You can also use the serial port to connect the cash register to a PC and
use the RegisterLink software.
To connect your computer to the serial port, you need a null-modem serial
cable. A 6 foot null modem serial cable is included in the box with the
cash register.
