• Install the cash register in a place where it
will not be exposed to direct sunlight, unu-
sual temperature changes (under 0 °C and
above 50 °C) or high humidity. Installa-
tion in such places could result in damage
to both the cabinet and electrical compo-
nents.
• Leave the cash register turned on for at
least eight hours to charge the internal lead
acid accumulator and NiCd memory back-
up accumulator to full capacity.
• It is strongly recommended to start battery
charging after battery discharge signal to
ensure long operating life and preservation
of battery capacity.
• When the cash register battery is charged,
the cover can increase its temperature. We
do not recommend to place the cash regis-
ter near flammable materials.
• After transporting the unit from a cold en-
vironment to a warm one and vice-versa,
do not switch the cash register on for a
minimum of 20 minutes in order to give
all components time to adjust to the new
temperature conditions.
• An individual having wet hands should not
operate the cash register. Water could seep
into the interior of the Euro-500 Handy
and cause component failure.
• Clean the cash register with a dry, soft
cloth. Never use cleaning agents such as
petrol or solvents. Using such chemicals
can result in discolouration or deteriora-
tion of cabinet.
• Avoid spilling of any liquids on the cash
register as they may cause damage. The
keyboard should be carefully protected.
• Connect the cash register with the sup-
plied adapter into a standard network plug
(230V ± 10). Other electrical equipment

register. In an environment with strong in-
terference use the special anti-interference
aids recommended by the manufacturer of
the cash register.
• If the cash register malfunctions, contact
your authorised dealer for service. Do not
try to repair the register yourself. Do not
open the cash register!
• Pull out the AC/DC adapter plug from its
electrical plug if the device is to be fully
disconnected.
• If the external adapter is connected to the
cash register, then the internal lead acid ac-
cumulator is charged even when the cash
register is turned off.
• During a receipt printing, wait until the
printer has finished before tearing the re-
ceipt. Do not tear off the receipt during
printing as printer damage may result.
• If the red streak appears at the end of the
paper ribbon, exchange this ribbon as soon
as possible. If the ribbon is exchanged too
late, it can damage the printer, or decrease
its lifetime.
• Use the paper ribbon, whose end is not
glued. If such paper ribbon is used and not
exchanged early enough, the printer could
be damaged or its lifetime could be short-
ened. In this case, the damaged printer
warranty is not valid.
• Use only high-quality thermal paper rib-
bons. Improper ribbons may damage the
printer or shorten its lifetime. When using
suitable ribbons and by properly maintain-
ing the printer, the average lifetime is up to
25 million lines!
• Journal paper storage recommendations:
Do not expose thermal paper to light. Store
at a temperature not higher than 40 °C.
Avoid contact of thermal paper with PVC,
mollificators, organic solvents or glue.
