POSTAL RATE CHART
CHART INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
To replace the postal rate chart in the scale, simply lift the clear plastic cover and remove the rate chart from the
top of the scale platform. Place the new rate chart on the top of the scale, center and align it to properly fit
within the slightly depressed area on the top of the scale platform and place the clear plastic cover back onto the
scale, over the chart.

UNITED STATES RATE CHARTS
When determining the U.S. postage rate for either Domestic U.S. First-Class Mail (within the USA) or
International Airmail (from the USA to all other countries), round up to the next whole ounce if the weight
reading is any fraction above a whole ounce measurement (from 0.1-ounce through 0.9-ounce). For example: a
reading of 2.1-ounces is charged the postage amount shown for 3-ounces on the rate chart; or a reading of 1.7-
ounces is charged the postage amount shown for 2-ounces.
Please read the Postal Rate Chart itself for all rates and any other important information.
CANADIAN RATE CHARTS
For customers located in Canada, a postal rate chart for Canada is also packed with the product (the Canada
Post Rate Chart may be printed on the other side of the USA Postal Rate Chart for some models). Install the
Canada Post rate chart in the scale as described above. To determine the proper postage based on the actual
weight of the letter or parcel, find the weight range on the chart that the weight of the item falls within and then
follow across to the destination of the item for the correct postage amount.
CLEAR PLASTIC COVER
The clear plastic cover on the top of the scale platform, covering the rate chart, is there to protect the postal rate
chart and platform.
*** WARNING: ***
The plastic cover is NOT safe for use in a microwave oven or conventional oven.
It is NOT dishwasher safe.
Do NOT place or use the cover in a dishwasher, microwave oven, conventional oven or near any heat source.
The clear plastic cover should be removed from the scale and thoroughly washed with standard dish detergent
and warm water after coming in direct contact with any food.
The scale is NOT water proof. Do NOT submerge the scale itself in water or rinse the scale under water. The
scale should be wiped clean using dish detergent or a mild, general household cleaner that is safe on plastic.
