American Weigh CD-Scale v2.0 User manual

CD-Scale v2.0 User’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh CD Scale v2.0.
Please read all operating instructions carefully before use. This elec-
tronic scale is a precision instrument. With normal care proper treat-
ment, 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 al-
low 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 currents and a close distance to other electronic equip-
ment 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 pre-
cision instrument and must be handled with extreme care. Only operate
the scale on a stable, vibration free surface
