best suit your own needs.

The process of dispensing and account-
ing for postage. The meter is said to “trip” 
when it senses the envelope and starts 
printing.

Please follow these common-sense precautions whenever 
you use your meter:

• 

Plug the meter into a properly grounded wall outlet. This 
reduces the risk of shock and equipment damage in 
the event of a short circuit. DO NOT remove the power 
cord's ground pin and DO NOT use a ground adapter.

• 

The power cord  wall plug is the primary means of dis-
connecting the meter from the AC supply. The meter is 
on whenever it is plugged into a live receptacle, even 
though the key switch and operator display may be off.  

• 

Place the meter close to an easily accessible wall outlet. 
Avoid using wall outlets controlled by wall switches or 
shared by other equipment.

• 

Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which 
the meter is plugged is free from obstruction.

• 

DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it 
between pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain 
on the power cord.
