Scale Operation
When the scale is first switched on, it will dis-
play some information and then default to
weighing mode. In weighing mode, the scale
will display pounds and ounces.
NOTE
: If
your item weighs less than one pound, the
pounds display will be blank.
Before you place an item on the scale, make
sure that the display shows zero weight (0.0). If
the scale does not show zero, press the
Zero
key once.
How to obtain the rate for a domestic letter or package:
1. Select the desired class of mail by press-
ing one of the scale’s rating keys.
2. Place the item on the center of the scale’s
platter and allow the reading to stabilize.
If the class of mail you have selected re-
quires a destination ZIP code, the scale
will automatically prompt you.
3. Key-in the first three digits of the destina-
tion ZIP code. For example, if you are
mailing to ZIP code 38118, you would en-
ter 3-8-1.

The scale displays the class of mail, destina-
tion zone, weight and proper rate.
NOTES
:
1. Not all classes of mail require a ZIP code.

scale will automatically display “

3. If the ZIP code you have entered is invalid, the scale will briefly display “
Invalid ZIP
code
”.
4. If the ZIP code you have entered is eligible for an Intra-BMC/ASF discount, the scale will
display “PP BMC”. (Parcel Post only)
