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 treat-
ment, it will provide years of reliable service.
Never load the scale with more than the maximal capacity.
Overloading can permanently damage it! Avoid any exposure to
extreme heat or cold, your scale works better when operated at
normal room temperature. Always allow the scale to acclimate to
normal room temperature for at least 1 hour before use.
Give your scale suf cient warm up time - usually 30 seconds to
give the internal components a chance to stabilize before calibra-
tion. Keep your scale in a clean environment. Dust, dirt, moisture,
vibration, air currents 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 the platform. Although this scale is designed
to be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this may per-
manently 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.
