3.4 LOCATINGANDPROTECTINGYOURBALANCE
In order to keep your balance functioning at its best we suggest that you do the
following:

Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air
conditioningvents.

Makesurethebalanceislocatedonastrongtableandfreefromvibration.
Avoidunstablepowersources.Donotusenearlargeusersofelectricitysuch
asweldingequipmentorlargemotors.Donotletthebalancebatterygoflat–
ifyouarenotusingitforalongtimeyoushouldchargethebattery up
periodicallytomakesurethebatterydoesnotloseitscharge.Whenyouturn
offthescalebypressing[ON/OFF]key,thepowerisnotcompletelyisolated.
Youshoulddisconnectthepowersupplyifitisnotgoingtobeusedforan
extendedperiod.

Keepfreefromvibration.Donotplacenearheavyorvibratingmachinery.

Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation. Keep away from direct

adraftandunstablereadings.

Keepthebalanceclean.Donotstackmaterialonthebalance/balance pan
when it is not in use. The Highland has a stacking feature for stacking more
thanoneunitontopofeachotherwhichdoesnotapplyweightto thepan.
Formoredetailsonthisseethesectiononstoring.


Avoidoperatinginhighstaticareas,orweighinghighstaticmaterials,suchas
plasticsorpowders,asthismaydamageelectronicsandaffectmeasurements.

recommendedthatyouchargethebatteryforatleast8hoursbeforefirstuse.
1) Toturnonpressthe[on/off]keyonceandrelease.Thebalancewillshowthe
capacityandthesoftwarerevision,andthenself‐testbeforeshowingzeroon
