GETTING STARTED
Please follow the procedure shown below. The batteries are not installed and the power is OFF.
Three new “AA” batteries must be installed in the cash register to prevent the data and
user-programmed settings from being erased from the memory, when the AC cord is accidentally disconnected
or in case of power failure. Once installed, the batteries will last approximately one year before needing
replacement. At this time, the “
” symbol will appear on the display to indicate the batteries are low and must
be replaced within two days. If the no battery symbol “ ” appears, you must install the batteries at once.
Install three new “AA” batteries according to the procedure shown below with the AC cord connected and the
mode switch set to the REG position:
1. Push the printer cover forward and detach it.
Be careful with the paper cutter, so as not to cut yourself.
2. Open the battery compartment cover next to the paper roll cradle.
Initializing the cash register
In order for your cash register to operate properly, you must initialize it before programming for the first
time. Follow this procedure.
1. Insert the manager (MA) key into the mode switch and turn it to the REG
position.
2. Insert the plug into the AC outlet. The buzzer will sound three times.
IMPORTANT: This operation must be performed without batteries installed.
3. The cash register has now been initialized. The register display will show “0.00”
with “
”.
If the buzzer does not sound when the plug is inserted, the initialization has not been done
successfully. (This will occur when the voltage is still high because you operated the cash register
just before starting initialization.) In this case, wait at least one minute after pulling out the plug,
and insert the plug again.
Find a stable surface where the cash register is not subject to water sources or direct sunlight near an
AC outlet.
Unpack the cash register and make sure all accessories are included. For details of accessories, please refer to
“Specifications” section.
