indicator and the host. To establish this connection, set parameter P4 to 7, and
configure setting P5 (baud) and P6 (parity) to host device. Commands can then be sent
from the host to the indicator using the following commands (ensure the letters entered
are in CAPS) (<CR> - Enter)

You may choose to configure your scale for a higher resolution. The factory does not
recommend increasing the resolution above 7,500 divisions for a stable weight reading.
Certain environments may cause the scale to be unstable at factory settings, reduce
