1) Enter the number of the CellScale network.
In this example we’ll use network 12. Use the appropriate numbers for your CellScale master. It is not necessary to enter a ‘0’
for networks below 10.
2) Press the ADDRESS key. The Network Address Changes to the new Address and is
added to the Network Scan List.
It can take up to 8 seconds to log on to a new network, and for the weight data to appear. If the 9750A is unable to locate a
Master CellScale at the entered address, the message “NO NETWORK” will appear.

Setting the Network Address (shortcut method)
Uses Defaults for every setting, and assumes the master CellScale’s ID is 05.
1) Press SETUP . From the “SETUP SELECT MENU” , select “MORE” [7] .
2) Select “RF Modem” [3] .
Steps 1 and 2 have a shortcut. Press SETUP followed by ADDRESS.
3) Select “Network Address” [1] . This calls the Network Address data entry screen.
4) Using the keypad, key in the desired Network Address (0-63). The Address used must match the Network
address of the CellScale master. Press ENTER to store the address.
5) Select “CS Address” [2] . This calls the CellScale Address data entry screen.
6) Using the keypad, key in the desired CellScale Address (5-251). The Address used must match the ID address
of the CellScale master (2nd number, e.g. 23-23). Usually CellScale masters are usually confi gured with
the ID Address number set to the same number as the master. Networks 0-5 usually are set to the Network
number +64 (e.g. Net 4, CS address 68). DO NOT use a CS Address below 5.
7) Select “My Address” [3] . This calls the My Address data entry screen.
8) Using the keypad, key in the desired My Address (5-251). The Address used must be unique within all
possible networks this 9750A is to contact. Press ENTER to store the address.
9) Select HI, MED, or LO transmit power using the [4] key. Usually this should be set to HI for maximum
range.
10) Select Timeout [5] . The Timeout period is the time the 9750A will wait before reporting loss of updated
data from the Master. When the timeout period is completed without new data transmitted, the weight
display will change to dashes.
11) Using the keypad, set the Timeout in Seconds. A timeout from 5 to 20 seconds is recommended (10 seconds
is the default). Press ENTER to store the timeout.
12) Set this network active by pressing [6] . From the ADVANCED SETTING menu, choose [3] ON. This
places the Network in the 9750’s active network list, allowing use of the ADDRESS key to switch the
9750A to this and other stored Modem settings. Resturn to the Modem settings menu by pressing ESC .
13) Store the Modem settings by pressing [7] . The unit will pause with a key tone while the settings are
stored.
14) Return to weight reading (assuming there is a CellScale at the address you just set) by pressing DISPLAY
or press ESC to return to the Setup Menu. There may be a delay while the new address request is processed
by the CellScale.
Setting the Network Address (standard method), and RF Modem Confi guration
Access to all user configured parameters in the RF Modem.
Modem Defaults
CS Address equals Network number (e.g. 12-12, 1-65, 9-9, etc.), unless the network number is 5 or below, then
the CS address equals the Network number + 64
CONFIGURING FOR MULTIPLE NETWORKS
The 9750A can access multiple CellScales by switching Networks. A press of the ADDRESS key will change the
network allowing the 9750A to monitor and control different scales. Because each CellScale has both a network
and a CS address, these must be set up with the “SETUP RF NETWORK” menu and made active. The 9750A
® ®
can access up to 64 CellScale based Networks. It takes the 9750A from 4 to 8 seconds to switch networks, as
it has to sync with a new hopping pattern. Networks that are inactive but were set up can be reached by typing
the Network Address (0-31) followed by the ADDRESS key. New networks not previously set up can also be
reached this way, but the modem confi guration will set to defaults.
