Resolution

The battery is part of the franking machine security device that protects your postage funds. If your battery expires, you could lose this information.

Pressing the “Clear/Back” button may clear the message and allow you to run mail temporarily. If the error remains, reboot the franking machine:

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Wait one to three minutes.

3. Plug the power cord back in, ensuring that it is plugged directly into a wall outlet.

If the battery message returns after restarting, contact customer support.
