6kg x 1g
Thank you for purchasing the AMW-13 Digital Scale. With normal care
and proper treatment, it will provide you with years of reliable service.
Please read all operating instructions carefully before using the scale.
It may be necessary to calibrate the scale before its rst use .
• Avoid any exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your scale will work
better when operating in normal room temperature. Allways allow the
scale to acclimate to normal room temperature for at least an hour
before use.
• Give the scale sufcient warm up time before use. Usually 30 to 60
seconds to give the internal components time to stablize.
• Keep your scale in a clean environment. Dust, dirt, moisture, vibra-
tion, air currents, or a close proximity to other electronic equipment can
cause an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
• Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto the
weighing surface. Although this scale is designed to be quite durable,
avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the internal
sensor.
• Do not shake, drop, or otherwise shock the scale. This is a precision
instrument and must be handled with extreme care.
• Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free surface.
• Always store in a dry place to avoid moisture accumulation on
internal components.
