The terminal operates as a menu driven system. Messages and menu options presented on the LCD display
screen guide the user’s actions. The desired menu option is selected by pressing one of the keys located to
the left and right of the display. For the purpose of security many screens timeout after a preset time interval,
usually 30 seconds. The timeout length may vary depending on the function being performed.
When a screen timeout occurs, a screen is presented which asks the user if more time is needed. If the user
chooses NO, the Customer Welcome screen will be presented. If YES is chosen, the user is returned to the
function that was active prior to the timeout. If the user does not make a selection within an additional 30-
second countdown period the terminal will automatically go to the Customer Welcome screen.
Shortly after the unit is turned on, the top menu will be displayed. An example top menu is shown in
Figure 2-5. From the top menu, you can either:
1. Activate the terminal to perform customer transactions by pressing the key next to C USTOMER
T
RANSACTIONS
.
2. Enter the terminal system management area by pressing the key next to M ANAGEMENT F UNCTIONS .
Note: You will have to enter an appropriate password to view the Management Functions menu.

If you do not select a menu choice within 30 seconds the terminal will automatically default to the
Customer Welcome screen (a benefit of this feature is that in the event of a power interruption the
terminal will automatically begin accepting customer transactions shortly after power is restored).
