CD|Scale User’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh CD Scale. Please
read all operating instructions carefully before use. This electronic scale
is a precision instrument. With normal care proper treatment, it will
provide years of reliable service. Never load the scale with more than
the maximum capacity since overloading can permanently damage
it! Avoid any exposure to extreme heat or cold; your scale works best
when operated at normal room temperature. Always allow the scale to
acclimate to normal room temperature for at least one hour before use.
Give your scale sufcient warm up time (usually 30 seconds) to allow
the internal components a chance to stabilize before calibration. Keep
your scale in a clean environment; dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air cur-
rents and a close distance to other electronic equipment can all cause
an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale. Handle
with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto tray top. Although
this scale is designed to be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment
as this may permanently damage the internal sensor. Avoid shaking,
dropping or otherwise shocking the scale. This is a precision instrument
and must be handled with extreme care. Only operate the scale on a
stable, vibration free surface
