XEA207 Frequently asked questions.

How do I prepare my XEA207 for set-up?

Take the XEA207 out of its box, remove the packing materials. Place the XEA207 on

a flat stable surface, close to a power outlet. Also insure it will not be exposed to

direct sunlight, and is away from water (taps, sinks, etc).

How do I clear the XEA207 to ready it for programming?

It is very important that you “initialise” the XEA207 correctly once you have

removed it from the box, and are ready to start programming. If you do not

“initialise” the XEA207, it might not work correctly.

1. Insert the plug of the power cord into a power outlet.

This must be done without the batteries installed. If you have installed

batteries; be sure to remove them before you start this procedure.

2. On the screen you will see a list of numbers in square brackets with the names

of various languages to the right of them. Press the _1_ key to select English

as the language of operation.

The display will show: *** MRS. *** for about ten seconds. The buzzer will

then sound three times. If the buzzer does not sound three times, please try

again.

3. Next the screen will prompt you to enter the data and time. Enter the date as

DDMMYY with the numeric key pad. For example you would enter

_1_ _1_ _0_ _6_ _1_ _1_ For 11

June 2011.

4. Press the  key to move to TIME. Enter the time in the 24 hour format with

the numeric key pad. For example you would enter 2:00pm as:

_1_ _4_ _0_ _0_

5. Press the TL/NS key to save the time and date.

6. You will now be prompted to enter a tax rate. Use the number key pad to

enter: 1 0 for 10% GST

7. The next prompt is to allow you to set various pass codes for some functions.

If you do not wish to set them at this time press the TL/NS key to skip this

section.

8. Now you are prompted to enter a Manager pass code. If you wish to set a

manager pass code use the numeric key pad to do so. Press the TL/NS key

to confirm the code you have set, or to skip this section if you do not set a

code.
