2.5 Battery charging procedure:
2.5.1 Charging the battery pack:
1. After unpacking it is important to provide an
Initial charge. This conditioning cycle is required
for the battery pack to reach full capacity quickly.
2. Connect the AC power to the slow or fast
charging base using the supplied power pack
designed for the Elite 790. Place the Elite 790
terminal or standalone battery pack on the slow
or fast charging base. The terminal will power-up
and remain ON throughout the charging period.
The green indictor at front of the FAST charging
base turns off once the battery pack is fully
charged. On the other hand, the green indicator
at front of the SLOW charging base will always
be ON.
 Make sure that you use the correct AC power
adapter supplied with the Elite 790. Many adapters
can appear similar and will plug into the Elite 790
base but will not work properly causing erratic
behavior, poor charging or even damage to the unit.
2.5.2 Normal use
 1. After a full charge the Elite 790 in normal usage
is expected to provide 50 or more transactions
before the terminal has to be returned to the base
for charging. Slow printing and the low battery
message on the display followed by the beep
indicates the battery needs recharging.
2. The Elite 790 has a “reserve” capability in the
event that more transactions are occasionally
needed. As long as the print time is acceptable
the terminal will provide additional transactions
beyond normal. The effect will be a continued
slowdown of the printer as well as a longer
recharge cycle.
3. Fast Charging Base is designed for quick and
uninterrupted battery charging. If the Elite 790
terminal is removed from the fast charging base
for more than 10 seconds, charging is reinitiated.
When the battery is fully charged, the green LED
at the front of the base will turn OFF. Do not use
the fast charging base for frequent and short
battery charging (between each transaction) –
this may damage the battery and reduce its
lifetime. To optimize the life of the battery pack,
charge it with the fast charging base when the
low battery message appears on the terminal, or
when the printing speed is reduced.
3. Cleaning procedure:
1. Clean the outside of the Elite 790 with a soft
cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution.
2. Never spray cleaning solution directly onto the Elite
790 as liquid may enter the unit.
3.
Do not use Isopropyl Alcohol based cleaning
products.
