3.0 SAFETY
PRECA TIONS
Caution:
Please use only the original C adapter supplied with the scale. Other cords or
adapters may damage the scale.
Notice:
•Avoid extremes of temperature. o 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.
•o 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 5.7v, the battery symbol will show
to indicate the low battery; when it is lower than 5.4v, the scale will
turn off automatically.

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 center 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.
•on’t press the scale with great force or the load cell could be
damaged.
4.2 ASSEMBLING OF BATTERY AND POWER
In some cases the rechargeable battery must be shipped separate from the
scale. In this case the user must install the battery.
Remove the battery cover under the scale and put the 6v 4Ah rechargeable
battery provided in to the battery compartment. Connect the battery to the
cable paying attention to the polarity. The red connector goes to the (+)
positive terminal on the battery, the black connector goes to the (-) negative
terminal on the battery.
The adapter provided with the scale is used to charge the battery. Make
certain the adapter matches the voltage of the location you are using the
scale in.

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 battery voltage “X.X vol” .Then it will begin it’s
self-checking test from 0 to 9. When reading is stable, the display will

the last time the scale was used.
•Press [ nits/
] to select units. Press [ nits/
] to select units from
"g" / "Kg" / "lb" / "oz"/”CUS”. Only the weighing units enabled will be
displayed, See section 6.9.
•Check if the reading is “0.00”, if not, press [Zero/
ESC
]. “0.00” and the
zero symbol will be displayed.
•Put the item to be weighed on the pan. When the reading is stable, the
net 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 “0.00” and the zero symbol. If the
container is more than 2% of the capacity, the NET symbol will be on. Load the
container or remove material from the container, the scale will show the net weight
of the material added or removed.

7.0 CALIBRATION
•Calibration 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.
• To ensure best accuracy calibrate before use.
•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.
•o not calibrate the scale if a proper calibration weight is available.
•Calibration can only be accessed if the Calibration function has been
enabled as described in section 6.0.
