INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before using the PRO6000, to activate the installed
AA batteries, remove the plastic tab that serves
as the battery insulator power discharge protector
located on the battery terminal inside of the battery
compartment. There is a protective plastic dust/
spill cover on the scale that may be taken off if
desired. Locate the leveling bubble indicator on the
rear section of the scale and then adjust the feet as
needed by unscrewing in order to make the scale
level. The scale should be placed on a flat and stable
table or counter where it won’t be influenced by
vibrations, air currents from fans or air conditioners
etc., extreme heat or strong electromagnetic fields.
The scales power switch is positioned on the right
side of the scale. The scale is now ready to be turned
on. When the scale is turned on, with no load on
the weighing platform, the display will read “999999”
~ “000000”. When “0.0g” is displayed, weighing
can be performed. If the numbers on the display
are not stable after turning the scale on, check to
make certain the stainless steel weighing platform is
properly positioned on top of the scale.

POWER INSTALLATION
AC Adaptor Operation
• CAUTION: Use only the supplied UL Listed AC
adaptor. This universal adaptor is specifically
designed to work with the PRO6000 balance. The
unique feature of the PRO6000 adaptor is that the
adaptor automatically senses as well as adjusts to
the various voltage requirements allowing for use
worldwide from the USA to Europe and beyond!
Use of another type of adaptor may permanently
damage the scale, cause a fire and void the
warranty.
• Insert the plug from the AC adaptor into the scales
AC receptacle located in the rear of the scale and
then plug the AC adaptors prongs into a convenient
electrical wall outlet.
Battery Operation
• When removing the battery cover on the bottom
of the scale by unscrewing the two screws, be
certain not to apply excessive force or pressure
onto the weighing platform or damage may occur
to the scales load cell and void the warranty. To
activate the installed batteries, remove the plastic
tab which serves as the battery insulator power
discharge protector located on the battery terminal

7INSTRUCTION MANUAL
inside of the battery compartment and then replace
the battery compartment cover. To install new
batteries, remove the battery cover on the bottom
of the scale with caution as indicated above and
place the 6 AA batteries into the compartment as
indicated.
• Insert the battery cover back onto the battery
compartment when finished and replace the
screws.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Once calibrated, the PRO6000 should maintain its
calibration unless moved, bumped or the weighing
environment has changed. For best results, it is
advisable to check the calibration at regular intervals
by placing a known mass or the recommended
5000g calibration weight accessory (contact your
GemOro supplier for details) on the weighing
platform. If calibration is required, please carefully
follow these steps:

GEMORO PLATINUM PRO6000 8
CAUTION: Never attempt to calibrate the PRO6000
unless you first have the required 5000g calibration
weight in-hand. Please contact your GemOro
supplier to purchase the required 5000g calibration
weight accessory (Item #9779).
1. Remove all objects from the weighing platform.
2. Press the TARE button to return the scale to 0.0g.
3. Press the LIGHT button and hold it down for 3
seconds. The display will then read F0.
4. Press the UNIT button. The display will then read
LoAd and then 5000g.
5. Gently place the 5000g calibration weight in
the center of the weighing platform and once it
stabilizes after approximately 5 seconds the scale
will display 5000.0g and a beep tone will indicate
the calibration process was completed. Remove
the calibration weight.
6. If CALF is displayed while the weight is still on the
scale, remove the calibration weight and press
TARE. Repeat steps 1-5.
COUNTING FEATURE PCS
The parts counting feature within your scale can
be really handy if you are in need of counting

9INSTRUCTION MANUAL
a large number of small items (example: silver
beads, findings, gold chains, etc.) very quickly
and accurately. By weighing a sample of perhaps
5 pieces (the larger the sample used the greater
the accuracy of the per piece count), the scale will
determine the average weight of each piece and
use that as its reference when counting. Once the
reference sample weight has been determined, you
may place an unknown quantity of the item on the
scale and it will automatically count the exact number
of pieces.
1. Place the sample of 10, 20, 50 or 100 pieces to
be counted on the weighing platform. The scales
display will then show the weight of the sample.
2. Press the PCS button repeatedly to scroll through
the various sample counts until the display
matches the number of pieces in your sample.
The scale is now in the counting mode.
3. Place the additional items to be counted on the
weighing platform and the display will show the
accurate piece count. In other words, at this stage
if the sample size was 10, if you added 5 more of
the parts onto the weighing platform, the display
would then read 15.

4. In many cases when counting small or round
items, it is more practical to use a scoop (tray or
container) to hold the items you wish to count and
the PRO6000 can easily accommodate this. Once
the scale is on and stabilized, place the desired
scoop on the weighing platform and press the
TARE button to zero or subtract the weight of the
scoop from its display. Then follow steps 1-3
above.
5. When finished counting, press the PCS button
repeatedly until the scale scrolls out of the
counting mode and back into the weighing mode.
