Problem: Article: Find a hard, flat surface to set your register on. Ideally, this will be on a countertop with room for customers to place their merchandise. Plug the register directly into an outlet (do not use an extension cord). Batteries provide backup memory for the cash register in case of power failure and should be installed before you program any functions in the cash register. Take off the receipt paper cover and locate the battery compartment. You may need to use a small screwdriver to unscrew the lid to this area. Install the batteries according to the directions on the machine. Put the lid back on the battery compartment.  Some battery compartments are located underneath the receipt paper area. Change batteries once per year to ensure that they will work properly. Take off the cover to the receipt paper compartment. Make sure the end of your paper roll has a straight edge so it will be fed easily into the paper feeder. Feed the paper roll through so that it will run up through the front of the register where you will be able to tear off receipts for customers. Press the FEED button so that the register will catch the receipt and feed it through. The till drawer usually has a key that locks it up for safety. Do not lose this key. You can just leave the key in the drawer when it is unlocked so that it is easily found when you need to lock it up. Some cash registers have an ON/OFF switch on the back or side of the machine. Others may have a key on the front top of the machine. Turn on the machine, or turn the key to the REG (register) position. Newer registers may have a MODE button instead of a physical key. Press the MODE button to scroll into a REG or operational mode. Most registers have buttons that can be programmed to categorize similar items. These categories, or departments, can also be associated with taxable or non-taxable items. You can also set the date and time.  The program function is usually accessed by either turning the key to PRG or P, or pressing the mode button to PROGRAM. Other registers may have a manual lever underneath the receipt tape cover that needs to be switched to a Program option. Many cash registers have at least 4 tax buttons. These can be programmed at different tax rates, depending on if you have a flat sales tax as some states in the U.S. do, or if you have other types of taxes, such as GST, PST, or VAT rates (depending on your location). Follow the specific instructions in your register's manual to program these functions.
Summary: Set up your cash register and plug it in. Install batteries. Install the receipt paper. Unlock the till drawer. Turn the cash register on. Program your register.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Call the  people in the missing person's life and ask when they last saw him or her. Determine if they know anything about the person's whereabouts. Besides friends, family members, neighbors, and classmates, call anyone who had regular contact with the missing person. This may include teachers, doctors, dentists, bus drivers, coworkers, and neighbors.  Keep a log of the people to whom you've spoken and what they had to say about the missing person. Keep it updated with as much detailed information as possible. Encourage people to call you back if they find out more information from another source. Report new findings to the case worker in charge of your missing person’s case at the police department. If the missing person was in an accident, he or she might be in a local hospital and unable to communicate for some reason. In some tragic cases, a missing person will be found with a coroner or medical examiner. Call all the facilities in your area to rule out these possibilities.  When you make the calls, ask for the missing person by name. If no one by that name is on record there, ask if they have unidentified people in their care who resemble your missing person. If the missing person had an encounter with law enforcement that led to an arrest, he or she may be in a local county jail. Check with local law enforcement offices to see if the missing person is incarcerated. You may also be able to check online using the “inmate locator” option on your local law enforcement’s website. This is an important way to gain information about the days leading up to the person's disappearance. Check his or her Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other accounts. Determine whether recent activity contains any clues. Look at the missing person's friends' accounts as well.  Print out correspondence and activity that seems as though it could lead to the missing person's location. Report any activity that might be a clue to the case worker at the police department. Often, the missing person will see the fliers and decide to return home. Fliers can also alert friends and neighbors who might have information about the person's whereabouts. Put up the fliers in the neighborhood where the missing person lived and around places where he or she spent time.  Hang your fliers in prominent locations. Gas stations, grocery stores, post offices, banks, drug stores, local libraries, churches, hospitals, homeless shelters, parks, and hiking trails will all work well. Be sure to include a recent, clear photograph of the missing person. Include the person's age, a physical description, and the date he or she went missing. Include contact information as well.
Summary:
Contact the person's friends and acquaintances. Check with hospitals and coroners in the area. Check with your local county jail. Check social media sites. Put up fliers with a picture and description of the missing person.
