BUTTON ID & EXPLANATION
Before using the Platinum MP601, to activate the
installed batteries, remove the plastic tab which serves
as the battery insulator power discharge protector
located on the battery terminal inside of the battery
compartment.
1. ON/OFF
Push the ON/OFF button once to turn the scale on
(repeat the procedure in order to turn the scale off).
While in the gram mode, the bright blue backlit display
will then show 0.0g after it stabilizes which takes
approximately 2 seconds.
2. TARE
When using the weighing tray or other type of
scoop or container, simply place the tray, etc. on the
weighing platform and then push the TARE (zero)
button once to automatically subtract the weight of

GEMORO PLATINUM MP601 / ITEM #9772 4
whatever was on the platform while maintaining the
weight in its memory. The display will then show 0.0g.
If you then take the tray off the weighing platform, from
its memory the display will show a negative weight
equal to the weight of the tray or whatever was on the
platform. After placing the tray back on the weighing
platform, you may then place the item that you wish to
weigh directly into the tray and weigh it independently.
When you no longer wish to use the tray, you may
press the TARE button once again to bring the display
back to 0.0g or press the ON/OFF button once to turn
the scale off since both of these steps will subtract the
weight from its memory.

To change the scales unit of measure, simply push the
UNITS button to change from g, dwt, ozt or oz.
4. LIGHT
Push the LIGHT button to turn off the backlight in

to turn the backlight back on.

and the scales display will show the number of the
item counted. You may conveniently switch from the
counting mode to the weighing mode by pressing the
