Notice:
•Avoid extremes of temperature, do not place in direct sunlight or near air
conditioning vents.
•Battery should be removed if the scale is not used for a long period of time.
•Do not stack material on the scale when it is not in use.
•Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation and keep away from
direct contact with water.
•Static may influence the weighing result, to reduce the static wipe the pan
and the scale with anti-static wipes.
•When the battery is lower than 3.7v, the battery symbol will flash to
indicate the low battery; when it is lower than 3.4v, the scale will turn off
automatically.
4.0 SET UP
4.1 ASSEMBLING OF SCALE
•Put the scale on a stable and even table.
•Adjust the height of the feet to level the scale; the spirit level bubble should
be in the centre of the spirit level.
•Put the pan support in place, inserting the pan support pins into the holes on
top of the scale. Place the stainless steel pan on the support.
•Avoid excess force to weighing pan or the load cell could be damaged.
5.0 WEIGHING
5.1 BEFORE WEIGHING
Check the setting of the auto shut off function, see section 6.2. If the auto shut off
function is on, the scale will shut off after a period of time if the scale is not used
and it has a stable reading.

5.2 WEIGHING
•Press [On/Off] to turn on the scale. The display will show the software
revision then show the model “CAP XX”. Then it will begin its self-checking
test from 0 to 9. When reading is stable, the display will show ", stable
symbol, zero symbol, and the weighing unit used the last time the scale was
used.
•Press [UNITS/→] to select units from "g" / "kg" / "lb" / "oz"/”lb:oz”. Only the
weighing units enabled will be displayed, See section 6.8.
•Check if the reading is “”, if not, press [Zero]. “” and the zero symbol
will be displayed.
•Put the item to be weighed on the pan. When the reading is stable, the gross
weight will be shown.
If a container is used, put the container on the pan and press the [Tare/↵] key when the
reading is stable. The display will show “”, the zero symbol and ‘NET’. Load the
container or remove material from the container, the scale will show the net weight of the
material added or removed.
5.3 USER FUNCTIONS
The parts counting, percent weighing and calibration functions can be accessed using the
[FUNC/↑] key, if the functions have been enabled as described in section 6.0.
If the function is turned off the function will not be available. Only functions that have been

show “SET”.
•Place the item to be set at 100% on the pan and press the [Tare/↵] Key when
the stability indicator comes on.
•The display will show “%”.
•When another item with a different weight value is put on the pan, the

•When in weighing mode, press [FUNC/↑] until the display shows “X Hod”
•Press the [UNITS/→] key to go through the holding time of 5,10,20,30, AUTO
or Manual.
•If AUTO is selected the weight will be automatically held (locked on the
display) when stable until all weight is removed from the scale and the
[HOLD] key is pressed.
If a numeric value is selected the weight will be held only when the [HOLD]
key is pressed and it will be held for the number of seconds selected.
•For example, if you selected 5 the display will lock for 5 seconds after the
[HOLD] key is pressed. If you selected AUTO, the scale will lock when stable

7.0 CALIBRATION
•Calibration before use is recommended for best accuracy. It is suggested
that the scale be calibrated when first installed and any time the scale is
moved to a different environment.
•Ensure weights are ready before calibrating, the weight should be of a known
accuracy, for example OIML class M1 or Class 4 of ASTM E617.
