as they can adversely affect accuracy.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. To achieve optimum
functioning, allow this unit to acclimatize.
• Allow scale a minimum of thirty seconds to warm up before calibration to
allow internal components to stabilize.
• Keep this product clean. Dust, dirt, and moisture can adversely affect the
reliability and accuracy of this scale.
• Vibrations, air currents and proximity to other electronic equipment may
affect accuracy of this product. Avoid disturbing the environmental conditions
when weighing. Be sure weighing is done with scale on a at surface in a
sheltered area.

When a load that exceeds this unit’s capacity is applied to the weighing
platform, an E (error) will appear on the display. Remove this load immedi-
ately. The unit should then return to normal operation unless damage has
occurred.
