How to install CHERRY G86-61401 SPOS (Small Point of Sale) Keyboard

Installing the CHERRY G86-61401 SPOS is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime in a busy retail setting. Here are practical steps to get started quickly:

1) Unpack and inspect the keyboard for any physical damage or missing accessories. Ensure you have a USB cable compatible with your POS terminal or computer.

2) Power down your POS terminal or computer if required by your setup. In most modern systems, the G86-61401 SPOS will be recognized automatically once connected.

3) Connect the keyboard to an available USB port on the POS terminal or PC. Use a direct USB connection rather than a hub when possible to maximize reliability.

4) Power on the device (if needed) and wait for the operating system to recognize the keyboard. In most cases, it should appear as a standard USB HID keyboard with no driver installation required.

5) If you need to program keys, install the CHERRY configuration software or use the on-device programming mode as recommended by CHERRY. Create profiles for different departments or transaction types, assign product SKUs, shortcut commands, or macros to specific keys, and save your configurations.

6) Test critical functions—product entry, discount macros, and any specialized POS keys—before opening to customers. Validate that the programmed keys execute the intended actions within your POS software, and make adjustments as needed.

7) If you will mount the keyboard in a recessed counter, follow your facility’s mounting guidelines or consult the installation kit provided by CHERRY. Ensure the cable routing does not obstruct drawer movement or accessibility. After installation, re-check for stable placement and secure any mounting hardware.

8) Maintain the keyboard by replacing worn keycaps as necessary and periodically reviewing programming profiles to align with current inventory, pricing strategies, and promotions. Regular maintenance helps preserve performance and appearance over time.
