Step 1. Terminal connections

• Place the terminal face down on a flat surface, push the two tabs upwards and remove the rear cover
• Remove the cable tidy
• Thread the black power supply cable to the right of the cable tidy recess and insert the plug into the rear of the terminal
• Thread the telephone cable through the cable tidy recess and insert the plug into the socket with the blue LINE label
• Connecting the terminal to an internet connection point? Thread the network cable to the left of the cable tidy recess and insert the plug into the socket labelled LAN instead
• Refit the cable tidy and push the rear cover until you hear a ‘click’
• Finally, connect the telephone cable to the telephone socket, and the network cable (if required) to your internet connection point

Step 2. Paper roll installation

• With the terminal facing up, gently pull upwards on the lever found in the middle of the printer floor
• Remove any packing material from the paper roll
• Slot the paper roll into place in the machine, ensuring the free paper end is at the screen-end of the compartment, facing outwards
• Pull 10cm of the paper until it protrudes from the top of the terminal
• Once the paper roll is installed, close the printer door, pushing until you hear a ‘click’
• Remove the excess paper by pulling down and tearing along the serrated edge

Step 3. Turning on the terminal

• Connect the power supply to a nearby electrical outlet
• Hold down the power button (located to the right of the menu buttons) until the display illuminates and the terminal beeps
• Remove any protective film from the display

Step 3. Charging stand connection

• Don’t turn the power on until instructed
• Plug the power supply into the charging stand (if supplied)
• A red light on the charging stand will show the power is present

Step 4. Wi-Fi access point connection

• Ensure your terminal remains switched off
• Plug the power cable into the back of the access point
• The Wi-Fi network cable must be plugged into the blue LAN socket on the access point
• Plug the other end of the network cable into your internet source
• If there is a successful Ethernet connection, the WAN light on the front of the access point will be solid green and the SYS light will flash on and off (don’t proceed to step 5 until there’s a successful Ethernet connection)

Step 5. Charging the terminal

• Place the terminal on the stand (if supplied) or insert the power supply connector directly into the rear of the terminal
• Plug the power supply into the electrical outlet and switch the power supply on
• Charge the battery for two to four hours, until it’s fully charged
• When not in use, leave the terminal on the stand (if supplied) or connect to the power supply, to maintain charge

Step 6. Turning on the terminal

• Once you’ve completed steps 1–6, hold down the power button (located to the right of the menu buttons) until the display illuminates and the terminal beeps
• Remove any protective film from the display
