【1】ATTENTION
1.1 CONVENTIONAL ATTENTION
zThe object is forbidden to fall down on the pan.
zDon’t locate the scale in poor working condition.
zLocate the scale in stipulated condition to apply.
zDon’t take scale out or move around by pan.
zKeep the scale clean if the product will not be used for
a long time and recharge the battery once every three
months. When applying the product again a long time
later, you must recharge the battery at first.
zThe maintenance must be done by specialist.

1.2 ATTENTION BEFORE USING
1. Locate the scale on a clean, firm working table with flat
surface to keep away from vibration, heat sources, or rapidly
changed temperature. Adjust the 4 leveling feet so that the
bubble is centered in the circle and be sure the scale is level
each time after its location is changed.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the independent power supply
for avoiding interference from other equipments.
3. Be sure no loads on the pan when turn scale on.
4. Electrify to preheat the scale for 3-5 minutes before using.
5. For weighing accuracy, the center of gravity of object
should be placed in the central area of and beyond the edge of
pan.

the flat surface , adjust the feet to keep the scale stable and
level as when the bubble is centered in the circle.
3. Put the pan on the body and press 【ON/OFF】key to turn on
the scale in weighing interface.
2.2 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Take down the indicator, open the housing and disconnect
the battery joints.
2. Put new battery in the position and connect poles
correctly.
Warning：The positive and negative poles of lead-acid battery
can not be in short circuit or electrode reverse, which
otherwise make the battery damaged and burn.
Connection: Red wire to red pole and black wire to black pole.
3. Screwing the housing and put the indicator on again,
battery replacement is over.

5.2 ACCUMULATED MODE

10
The accumulative function can be performed by pressing
【M+/SMPL】key ，the most accumulated times is 99.
Note ：Only when the stable symbol is displayed, the
accumulative function can be performed. The accumulative
function must be performed after zeroing the previous
accumulated value.
Put the object on pan and display weight value.
1. press【M+/SMPL】key to display“M-01”for short time and
1 second later, display the total accumulated weight value,
another 1 second later, return in weigh mode.
2. Take down the object and zero, put the other object on
pan again to perform the accumulative function many
times.
5.2 REDISPLAY FUNCTION
The redisplay function can be used to check accumulated
results and to examine accumulated messages time by time.。
1. One or more times accumulative operation can be
performed according to item 5.2
