Abstract
A postal meter has a keyboard for entering postage values to be set, an electronic digital computer including at least one funding register, and a sealed switch enabling manual recharging of the funding register. A combination, fixed for any given meter, is entered in a further register in the postal meter, whereby the recharging of the funding register is inhibited if a comparison between the fixed combination and that combination entered in the keyboard fails.
