Will not show change on receipt. says low battery

The Sam4s ER-260EJ may not show change on the receipt due to a memory issue or incorrect programming. If the register's memory is not properly initialized, certain functions may not work correctly. The low battery message appears because the register contains a rechargeable Lithium battery, which may need to be recharged or replaced if it is unable to hold a charge. Performing a memory all clear might help resolve programming issues, but this will erase all stored data.

Questions and answers
Will not show change on receipt. says low battery
The Sam4s ER-260EJ may not show change on the receipt due to a memory issue or incorrect programming. If the register's memory is not properly initialized, certain functions may not work correctly. The low battery message appears because the register contains a rechargeable Lithium battery, which may need to be recharged or replaced if it is unable to hold a charge. Performing a memory all clear might help resolve programming issues, but this will erase all stored data.
