QUICK START

Unpack the cash register and place it on a level, stable, vibration-free and dust-free surface near a grounded
power outlet.
Plug the cash register into the power outlet and then insert three charged "AA" size memory backup batteries in the
battery compartment as explained in the section Inserting/Replacing Batteries of the Instructions Manual. During
cash register operation, all transaction data for the management report are stored in the register's memory. This
memory also holds all optional programming information. The memory back-up battery system keeps this
information stored in memory when the cash register is turned off or when a power failure occurs. All data stored
in memory will be canceled if you unplug the cash register from the electrical wall outlet without back-up
battery supply.
Load the standard roll of thermal paper tape as explained in the related section of the Instructions Manual.
