  5. Close the lid, and the cartridge moves back into position.
  6. The franking machine confirms when the cartridge installs, select Continue.
  7. Replace the scale, ensuring that it reseats correctly (on the Home screen, Man Wt gets replaced by SCALE when the scale is recognised by the franking machine).
  8. If the error message does not clear, restart the franking machine. Follow these steps to restart safely:
    1. Unplug the power cord.
    2. Wait one to three minutes.
    3. Plug the power cord back in, ensuring that it plugs directly into a wall outlet.
