SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS
The PS 3000N Malaysia has keys that can be used to activate special functions. This makes the scale
more versatile.

Key L (i/7/L)
The letter i standsfor "information." It is possible to use a combination of several supplementary services so
the scale will show abbreviated messages for supplementary services selected on the display. It is also
possible to lose track of the selections mode. Whenever at least one supplementary service has been
selected in conjunction with a basic service, pressing the "i" key will cause the scale to display each of the
services selected one by one, showing the individual cost of each, and then re-display the total cost. This key
can also be used to confirm the name of the Country selected if "Search" option was used and the Country
name was input at the time the scale asked for the destination.
Key M (<>/8/M)
The “<>" symbol indicates that this key can be used to disable the audio tone which is emitted when keys are
pressed to confirm that the scale has responded to input. The tone can be re-enabled by pressing the same
key or switching the scale off and on again.
Key +
The “+” symbol indicates that this key can be used to add fees to the current postage fee. Press “+” key and

previous tare or due togravitational changes or interference on the scale’s surroundings.
Key (Pertanyaan Serahan/Spc/<--)

possible to browse (i.e., in the reverse alphabetical order) from that point through the list of Countries held in
the database by pressing this key. Each key depressionmoves back one Country name.

(after pressing the "Cari" key) or after a Country name has been entered, it is possible to browse (i.e., in
alphabetical order from that point) through the list of Countries held in the database by pressing this key. Each
depression moves forward one country mode.
Key (Sejil Mengepos Benda/Cari)
Whenever a basic service is selected for an international destination, the scale offers the choice of entering the
destination zone or code directly (if known) or inputting the name of the country alphabetically by pressing the
"Search" key. When the key is pressed the scale displays "Enter NEGERI" enabling the name of the Country to
be input using the appropriate alpha keys. Key in the first few letters of the Country alphabetically. You can

one required, press the "Enter" key. If it is not, then press the "<--" or "-->“keys to browse up or down the list of
