Using the Battery System

81
Your cash register has a memory where information about your programming and
transactions are stored. This memory stores the information that lets you print
reports, such as the total sales for the day, week, or month. The cash register
memory also stores information about any special programming you have done.
If your cash register is unplugged or if there is a power outage, the batteries
keep the information in the memory until you plug the cash register into a
power source or the power is restored.
To make sure the battery back-up protection is working, replace the batteries at least
once a year. To help you remember, consider replacing the batteries on New Year's
Day. The cash register can be off or unplugged for as long as 700 hours (about 28
days) and the information in the memory is still there when you are ready to use the
register again.
If there was a power outage, replace the batteries as soon as there is power again. DO
NOT remove or replace the batteries until you plug the cash register into a power
source and you see messages on the display.
If you will not use the cash register for an extended period of time, you can remove
the batteries to prolong their life. However, all information in the cash register will
be erased if you do this.
Caution
You must plug the cash register in before installing or replacing the back-up
batteries. All data is erased when you remove the batteries if the cash register
is not plugged in before you remove the batteries.
To install or replace the batteries
1 Before you start, make sure you have 2 new AA
batteries.
2 Open the Journal Compartment Cover. Remove the
Journal Compartment Cover and set aside.
3 Move the paper roller bar up and out of the way. Grab
the small handle on the right of the print roller bar. Push
the little handle towards the back of the cash register and
raise the paper roller bar up. You see a slope down to the
paper compartment. The battery cover is located under
the print roller bar, on the slope.
4 Remove the battery cover. Press the edge at the top of
the cover and push to the back. The cover pops off.
• 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.
