Quick Start Guide – Full Overview

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Getting Started

Set up your Desk 3500 in a convenient location close to a power source and an Ethernet socket.
To connect an Ethernet cable, connect one side to your Ethernet output or router and the other side to the ‘ETH’ socket on the Magic box.
Finally, connect the power supply unit into the power socket on your magic box and to the mains power. After a short initialisation process, the terminal will display READY or an idle logo.

Function Keys

Function Keys: These appear on the screen interface where they may be used as shortcuts, such as F1 to print a contactless receipt or F4 to access a sale menu.
Menu key: To enter the application menus press the Menu key from the idle (READY) screen. Pressing the Menu key again moves to the next menu (if available).
Correction keys: When entering numbers or letters, the yellow ‘Clear’ key deletes one character at a time; while the red ‘Cancel’ key deletes the entire line (this key also cancels transactions).
Confirmation key: The green ‘Enter’ key is used to confirm anything that has been typed into the terminal.
Note: Press and hold the yellow key and the dot key together to turn the terminal off.

Supervisor Password

The ‘Supervisor Code’ is designed to limit access to the ‘Supervisor Functions’ configured for certain transaction types or access to certain ‘Function Codes’ on the terminal to those who have access to the code.
If you forget your code, please contact the Helpdesk who will be able to provide you with a temporary code to allow you to reset it to a new value.

Note: The default Supervisor Code is 0000.

Menu Screens

The menu screens allow users to select Transaction types as well as perform supervisor functions on their Terminal. Additional actions can be selected directly by entering their Function Code on the HELPDESK menu.
Once the selected action is completed the terminal will return to READY Screen.
Pressing the Cancel Key will allow users to go back one level or return to Idle from the top level (Transaction) menu.
