Inside the WLS scale package you will find the next items:

• 1 WLS20 or WLS40 scale.

Before installing and operating your scale read the following recommendations:

• Avoid installing the scale on unstable places.

pineapple, watermelon, melon, corn, etc.

selling. Also this kind of products can be divided into miscellaneous weighable products and

By pressing , the scale deploys the PLU associated with the entered number

Also the search can be done using an approximate of the PLUs number, in the following
example the PLUs are searched with the starting number “101”.

Navigate between the results using the arrows, once founded the desired PLU push the icon to
deploy it.

For both search modes, if the search doesn’t give any result the following message will appear
“No results were found”.
