I- Terminal Description
1- Introduction
The ELITE 790 is a mobile payment terminal using the 1XRTT standard for radio
communications and a dial modem for PSTN communications. This terminal was created to
process credit or debit payments using magnetic stripe or smart cards.
The ELITE 790 has an integrated thermal print er wh ich ope r ates at 6 LPS.
The ELITE 790 terminal benefits from a modular hardware design, which allows multiple
different applications to run on the te r m in al se cur e ly with ou t affecting each other.
Your retailer or installer w ill be able to give you the necessary information
on all available applications.

2- The Terminal
The terminal case contains the following elements:
• The portable terminal and base.
•
A cable that connects the terminal to a telephone line.
• A power pack that connects the termina l to a 115 or 230 volt supply (depen ding on
the country)
3- The Terminal Connections
There are two connectors on the back of the terminal. See section 7 for a picture.
The blue jack is for a portable hands free kit. The black connecto r is suitable for a periph eral
device like a barcode scanner, for wh ich a specific software application is required.
4- The Base Connections
Telephone Connection
The telephone cable supplied with the Elite
terminal must be connected to the port
marked with the symbol
end of the cable (RJ11) must be connected
to the telephone jack.
Electrical Connection
The jack from the power supply is plugge d
into the port marked with the symbol
. The electrical plug is connected to
a wall socket (115 or 220 volts, depending
on the country).

The key gives the user access to the
different options available at the time the
key is pressed. These could include the
application or the “system” menu which
manages the standard functions of the
Elite 790, such as: modification o f the date
and the time and modification of the
download and line parameters.

is only active when the terminal is in the idle state.
• The key is used to validate any information read by or entered into
the terminal. It also functions as the power switch when the terminal is
powered off.

7- Wireless functionality
The ELITE 790 terminal is designed as a mobile dev ice. A fully charged battery will
perform between 75 and 100 transactions before the terminal has to be returned to
the base for charging.

the printing will be slower.
Warning
Do not use a “fast charge” base to charge the battery if the terminal is
returned to the base after each transaction. The batteries may be
damaged and their lifetime reduced. A battery should only be charged
with a fast charge base at the end of a day or shift or if the –BATwarning shows on the display.

When off the base, the ELITE 790 terminal switches off after a programmable
timeout if there is no inactivity.
When the terminal is switched on, the following messages could appear on the
terminal display:

NETWORK SEARCH
Warning
Before using the terminal for the first time, the
batteries must be fully charged. This is indicated
by a green light on the base which goes out when
this process is complete.
A problem has been encountered with t he CDMA
modem. Removing the battery pack, waiting 30
seconds and re-installing the battery should fix
the problem. If it does not, call your service
provider
This message appears while the terminal is
searching for the CDMA network. Once the
terminal has found the network, t his messag e is
replaced by the operator name.

Practical Information
1- Charging the battery pack
A base station provided with the terminal recharg es a spare battery pack or t he battery pack
attached to the terminal.
The green indicator at front at the base indicates that a current is flowing into the battery
pack.
Fast charging base
Warning
Do not use a “fast charge” base if the terminal is returned to the base
after each transaction. The batteries may be damaged and their lifetime
reduced. A fast charge base should only be charged when the battery
is nearly or completely discharged.

•
Do not forget to put the terminal down on its powered base at the end of the day in order
to allow for charging and data-collection.
•
When charging an empty battery pack, it could take one or two minu tes for the green light
to come on.
Vehicle base (Optional)
This base station is used when the terminal is put back on its base between each transaction.
It is a slow charge base so as not to damage the batt ery.

Before using the terminal for the first time, the
batteries must be fully charged. This is indicated

2- Cleaning Procedures
The plastic used in the construction of this terminal may be damaged if cleaned with strong
solvents.
The following is a list of recommendations for cleaning the terminal and its base.
• Clean the outside of the terminal with a soft cloth moiste ne d with a mild
detergent solution.
•
Never spray cleaning solution directly onto the terminal as liquid may enter the
unit.
•
Do not use Isopropyl Alcohol based cleaning products, use water- b ase d.
•
If in doubt about a cleanin
roduct, contact your terminal supplier.
3- Changing the paper roll
Do not pull the paper, press the key

2- RF Safety
In-car safety
The use of the terminal in a vehicle may cause malfunctions of electronic systems (e.g. ABS
anti-lock systems, fuel injection systems) particularly in insufficiently shielded systems.
General
Your terminal uses the 1XRTT standard for RF technology. The Elite 790 sends out and
receives radio frequency energy. When you use your Elite 790 terminal, the network
manages both the radio-frequency and th e po wer level of your terminal.
Exposure to RF Energy
There is some public concern about the possible health ef fects of using RF equipment. The
Elite 790 has successfully passed both FCC and Industry Ca nada tests for S AR (Soft Tissue
Absorption rate).
20
October 2001
3- General safety
Electronic Device
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles, are shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy may affect some damaged or improperly shielded electronic
equipment.
Vehicle Electronic Equipment
Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to determine if on board electronic
equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
Medical Electronic Equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing
aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequa te ly shielded fr o m ext er n al RF ener gy.
Turn your Terminal OFF in health care f acilities when an y signs in the ar ea instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.
Aircraft
Warning
Turn your Terminal OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use it when
the airplane is on the ground only with the crew's permission. Do
not use it in the air.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting o perations, turn your unit OFF whe n in a "blasting area" or
in areas posted: "turn off two-way radio". Construction crews often use remote control RF
devices to set explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your terminal OFF when in any area with a p otentially explosive atmosphere. I t is rare,
but your terminal could gener ate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or
fire resulting in injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked. They
include fuelling areas such as petrol stations, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the same compartment as
your terminal.
Before using your terminal in a vehicle powered by liquefied petr oleum gas (such as propane
or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the
country in which the vehicle is to be used.
