weights 7 lb The scale will only be able to weight up to 33 lb of product
to complete the maximum capacity.

The "Fixed price" function is used when a product requires to be constantly
weighted. When the function is active, the price will remain on the display
although the price is cleared from the scale. To fix a price, place the
product on the scale's plate, type the cost per lb of the product and press
the "P-PACK" key. The P-PACK indicator will be turned on.To deactivate it,

IMPORTANT MESSAGES DISPLAYED
Price Computing Scale

TOTAL “- - - - - - - -”
This message indicates that the limit has been exceeded when the
multiplication price per weight exceeds the 9999.99,if this happens, lines
at "TOTAL" indicator will appear.
LOW BATT
If this message appears in intervals on display, it indicates that the scale
needs to be recharged. Even with this advice the scale can continue
working for 30 minutes. If it appears and after a few seconds the scale
turns on, it means that the scale is completely discharged. At this point the
scale will not work and all of the operations being performed at the time
will be lost.
To solve the problem connect the AC/DC power supply for a period of time
of 10 hours, keeping the scale on.In case the scale needs to be used while
charging, this will not cause any issues, but it will only take longer to fully
charge.
