Product Overview

The Excel Scale is a non rate-calculating weigh scale with a USB interface allowing
connection to a Windows PC running FP’s Navigator postage meter interface
program.

Important requirement prior to use: After unpacking your scale, the first step in
putting it into operation is to remove the transit screw located on the bottom of
the scale. Failure to do so will result in the scale not weighing accurately.

1. Turn scale over and locate the transit screw located next to the white circular
decal.

2. Use a small Phillips screw driver to remove the screw completely. Discard
screw.

Installation and Instructions for use

1) Unpack scale, weighing platform, USB cable and AC power adapter.

2) Remove transit screw per instructions above.

3) Attach weighing platform and plug in AC adapter.

4) Attach USB cable to back of scale and other end of USB cable to an available
USB port on your PC. (do not attach USB cable to postage meter!)

5) Open FP Navigator on PC and establish connection to your postage meter.

6) Turn on scale with power rocker switch located on bottom left side of scale.

7) Allow scale to boot up and allow 30 seconds for scale to establish connection
with PC.

8) To test, place an item on the scale platform and verify that the weight is
transferred to Navigator.
