This guide will help you get started using the AccuDate XL2e™ Food Safety
terminal, from setting up your terminal for the first time, to loading labels, to launching
the Jolt for TransAct App, and more. The guide even explains how to clean your
terminal for optimal performance.
Labels are a key component to this solution. Sometimes, starter labels are supplied
in the container labeled Number 2 but more often your operations department has
selected specific labels for your locations and they will arrive separately.

SETTING UP YOUR ACCUDATE XL2e™ TERMINAL
Find a spot for the AccuDate XL2e terminal that’s most convenient for your prep
staff and crew members to easily access the device. Though the AccuDate XL2e is
a rugged device, please be sure to place it in a spot where water and grease will
not be an issue. Also, make sure the power cord does not rest on the floor. If you are
using Wi-Fi to connect to your network, make sure the terminal is in a good spot to
pick up the signal. If you are using an Ethernet connection, make sure the Ethernet
cable can readily reach the terminal.
After several startup screens are displayed, you will arrive at an Initialization screen.
Before proceeding you will need to connect to the Internet using the instructions on
the next page.
1. Remove the AccuDate XL2e
from its protective packaging.
2. Connect the power cord to
the back of the AccuDate
XL2e and a power source.
3. Turn on the AccuDate XL2e,
be sure to hold down the
