Elane Postage Austria User manual

SCALE CALIBRATION –FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY
In case the scale loses its accuracy, then the re-calibration of the scale may be needed. The load cell
of this precision scale is normally protected against overloaded weight applied slowly, but overload
caused by dropping the scale or dropping something heavy on the scale may require re-calibration.
CAUTION: Please do not attempt any calibration by yourself unless you have a 500 g weight
available. Otherwise the scale will render itself into a useless state and requires servicing. If the
scale did come from a colder or warmer environment let it first stay for sometime to be at the same
temperature as your current environment.
Plug the mains adapter to the power supply. The scale will turn on and display ©Elane then Selftest.
Press the Paket key while it displays selftest. The scale will then ask you to put a 500 gram weight
on the platform. The scale will indicate that you need to wait as it automatically recalibrates the
scale. When it is done, the scale will restart automatically.
