I- Presentation of the terminal

1- Introduction

The ELITE 770 is a portable payment terminal. This terminal was created to process all
payments made by magnetic or smart cards.

The ELITE 770 terminal benefits from a modular conception which permits it to treat all cards of
different types using separate corresponding programs. It is therefore important to understand
the manner in which it functions, at the modular and the terminal level.

0

The Modular Level

These functions link up with and correspond to the many different types of cards that the terminal
processes, the most important of which is the principal function of payment.

0 The Terminal Level

There are a certain number of functions that are the concern of a ‘global treatment’ and not of a
particular module. The terminal level is the superior level and is common to all modules. This
level does not depend on the number or the nature of each module.

In its base version the ELITE 770 terminal is equipped with a module
that permits it to process Bank Cards. Your retailer or installer will be
able to give you all the necessary information on all modules on offer
and their installation details.

2- The Terminal

The terminal case contains the following elements :
The portable terminal itself,

• A base.

• The cable that connects the terminal to a telephone line.

• The block sector that connects the terminal to a 115 or 230 volts power point

(depending on the country)

3- The connections

0 Telephonic Connection

The compact telephonic cable connection
that is supplied with the Elite terminal, must
be introduced into the terminal plug, marked
with the symbol . The telephone
connection (RJ11) must be introduced into
the telephone socket in the wall.

.

0 Electrical Connection

The small jack connection to the block sector
is plugged into the connection marked with
the symbol on the terminal. The twin
pronged electrical plug of the block is
connected to an electrical point of 115 or
220 volts (depending the country).

0 Connection with an External Peripheral

Certain peripheral devices such as a check
reader can also be connected.

4- The Keyboard - Principles of Utilisation

• The key permits the operator to access the corresponding modular level
functions

• The and keys permit to access to the terminal level functions and
to the system menu

• The key ↑↑ permits a paper feed of a couple of centimetres

• The GREEN key permits the validation of any information read by

or entered into the terminal

• The RED key cancels the occurring command after which, it returns
the terminal to the idle state

• The YELLOW key deletes the last character entered, and is used
in certain cases where an override is requested

• The key marked 00 can only be used for entering amounts ;
more particularly it permits the operator to enter amounts in cents

5- The Card Reader

0 Magnetic Stripe Card

The card can be read either swiped from right to left, or from left to right. The magnetic
track on the card turned on the rear side of the terminal and the card should be swiped
through the track reader freely and without hesitation.

0 Micro Chip Card

Introduce the card horizontally into the apparatus, the micro-chip facing up, as indicated
and leave the card in position for the length of time that it takes to process the
transaction.

6- Portable Functioning

The ELITE 770 terminal is portable ; it includes batteries which permit to make 150
transactions without connection to the base.

A star on the upper right side of the display indicates a correct connection between the
terminal and its base.

A battery lo w is indicated by a message « -BAT- » on the display following by a beep.
The terminal continues to run during about 40 transactions, but batteries need to be
reloaded during at least 14 hours.

In a portable mode, the ELITE 770 terminal enters in a wait state automatically after 20
seconds of inactivity or after hitting the RED key.

The message « -RANGE- » appears on the terminal display when the terminal is
out of range of the base, during a communication establishment. To work properly,
put the terminal nearer the base (about 100 meters in open air, 40 meters inside a

building depending on the environment).
The message « -BUSY- » appears during a connection with the base when an

other terminal is already in communication with this base. The operator must wait
the end of the communication between the base and the other terminal.

The message « -FULL- » appears when the terminal wants to connect a base
which already has the right number of terminal. In this case, switch off the base
during a few seconds, and launch a profile on each terminal (System menu-

9

Terminal ELITE 770

configuration) of the network. If the problem persists, switch off the base and call
your maintenance company.

Before the first use of the terminal, batteries must be

loaded during at least 14 hours.

III- PROCEDURES OF INSTALLATION

After having made the connections previously described, the operator can switch the
terminal on. Before doing this, the operator is obliged to enter all general data at the
terminal level.

1- Configuring Radio Link

IMPORTANT NOTE : The following configuration is not necessary for a
single configuration (one base, one terminal), as it has been carried out
during production.

It is necessary only if you attempt to add a terminal on a previously purchased base.
This procedure, if failed, can provoke malfunction of other terminals connected to
your base. In case you are not sure to carry it out properly, or if it does not work
properly, call your retailer, who has powerful tools to configure both terminals and
base.
The LAN can not support more than 5 terminals without reconfiguring base. In case
you need 6 to 10 terminals on the same base, call your retailer, who is able to
configure properly the base.

• The link between the base and the terminals is coded from the related serial
numbers. This means that both terminals and base must know the serial number
of other components in the LA N.

• The base is able to find terminals identifiers at the first radio connection after
power-on. You don’t need to configure it.
The terminal must be configured in order to know the number of the base where

•

it will have to connect. In the menu « INPUT BASE # » under « SYSTEM
MENU », validate. The terminal then displays « LAN CONFIG. ». Enter the

code 2049, then validate. The terminal displays then the maximum number of
terminals. If your base is a ‘standard’ one, enter 5, then validate, else validate
without modification. The base’s serial number is then displayed. This number
correspond to the number printed on the back of the base. Enter it, followed by
the VAL key.

• Your terminal is now configured. You can test it by printing a configuration
receipt (system menu, configuration), that must indicate the number of terminals
and the base serial number.

• In case the message ‘Absent base ! ‘ is printed, the base serial number is not
correct.

• In case the message « FULL » is displayed, the number of terminals is not
correct, or your base don’t support an other terminal.

IV- SECURITY RECOMMANDATIONS

0 0

This terminal has no power switch. The power supply is the only device used to

switch off the terminal. Of this fact the main power must be easily accessible.

1 Guideline of security concerning the Lithium batteries:

• Hold out of reach of the children,

• I n case of ingestion of battery elements, the person involved should seek medical

assistance promptly,

• It is important to respect the polarities `+ ' and`-`,

• Do not attempt to reactivate the batteries by a heat source, by an electric refill or all

other means,

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire,

• Do not disassemble the batteries

1 Guideline of security concerning the batteries nickel Cadmium:

• Hold out of reach of the children

• Do not heat or throw to the fire,

• Do not short-circuit the batteries,

• Do not close up the valves of security (situated under the positive poles),

• Do not use in a hermetic box,

• Use the adapted charger, only in the range of specified temperature,

• Do not manipulate and put back in service if the battery is damaged and/ or if it presents

some liquid flights.

1 Of a general manner:

• A danger of explosion is possible if there is incorrect replacement of the battery.

• Replace the battery with the same equivalent type advise by the constructor.

• Put the used batteries to the rubbish accordingly to the instructions of manufacturer.

00 The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council decision 98/482/EC for pan­European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However,
the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every
PSTN network termination point.

In the event of problem, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance
