Registering a Hand-held Terminal to a Communications Base

A terminal must be registered to a communications base in order to process transactions. Registering introduces the terminal to the base so that the terminal knows which base to look for and the base knows which terminal(s) to accept transactions from.

Note:   A maximum of seven terminals can be registered to one communications base.
- Every terminal must be registered individually.
- A terminal can only be registered to one communications base at any one time. To use a different base, register the terminal to that base.

Place the handheld terminal on the communications base that it is being registered to.
