3.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Caution:
Please use only the original power cord or DC adapter supplied with the scale. Other
cords or adapters may damage the scale.
Notice:
•Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near
air conditioning vents.
•Battery should be removed if the scale is not used for a long period of
time.
•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.
•Before operating parts marked with a symbol please read the
instruction manual and operate with caution to avoid hazard.
•Do not stack material on the scale when it is not in use.
•Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation, and keep away
from direct contact with water.
•Static may influence the weighing result. To reduce the static wipe the
pan and the scale with anti-static wipes.
4.0 SET UP
4.1 ASSEMBLING OF SCALE
•Put the scale on a stable and even table.
•Adjust the height of the feet to level the scale; the spirit level bubble
should be in the center of the spirit level.
•Put the pan support in place, inserting the pan support pins into the
holes on top of the scale. Place the stainless steel pan on the support.

•Don’t press the scale with great force or the load cell could be
damaged.
4.2 ASSEMBLING OF BATTERY AND POWER
In some cases the rechargeable battery must be shipped separate from the
scale. In this case the user must install the battery.
Remove the battery cover under the scale and put the 6v 4Ah
rechargeable battery provided in to the battery compartment. Connect the
battery to the cable paying attention to the polarity. The red connector goes
to the (+) positive terminal on the battery, the black connector goes to the (-)
negative terminal on the battery.
The power cord or DC adapter provided with the scale is used to charge the
battery. Make certain the power cord/DC adapter matches the voltage of the
location you are using the scale in.
Internal rechargeable batteries (where used) can be changed, but please first
ask for technical support from your dealer or the manufacturer. Replacement
batteries should be type BT-6M4.0AC(6V4AH) or equivalent.
Please dispose of and recycle used batteries carefully and according to local
laws and regulations.

is not used and it has a stable reading.
5.2 WEIGHING
•Press [On/Off] to turn on the scale. The display will show “LBK-1.0 LBK”
and show the current voltage “X.Xvol” .Then it will begin it’s self
checking test from 0 to 9. When the reading is stable, the display will
show "0.00", stable symbol, zero symbol, and the weighing unit used
the last time the scale was used.
•Press [Unit] to select units,"g" / "Kg" / "lb" / "oz"/”Lb.z ”.
•Check if the reading is “0.00”, if not, press [Zero]. “0.00” and the zero
symbol will be displayed.
•Put the item to be weighed on the pan. When the reading is stable, the
net weight will be shown.
•If a container is used, put the container on the pan and press [Tare] key
when the reading is stable. The display will show “0.00”and the zero

7.0 CALIBRATION
•Calibration is recommended for best accuracy. It is suggested that the
scale be calibrated when first installed and any time the scale is moved
to a different environment.
•To ensure best accuracy calibrate before use.
•Ensure weights are ready before calibrating, the weight should be of a
known accuracy, for example OIML class M1 or Class 4 of ASTM E617.
•Do not calibrate the scale if no calibration weight is available.
•Calibration can only be accessed if the Calibration function has been
enabled as described in section 6.0.

“S-Unit kg”(or ”S-Unit Lb”) ,press [Unit] key to change to lb’s or kg’s for
the calibration weighing unit value.
•Press [Zero] key to start the zero calibration. The display will show “CAL
0” and when the stable symbol is displayed press [Zero] key to confirm.
•The display will now show the calibration mass expected. ”CAL XXKg“
