Thank you for purchasing the My Weigh Vox-2 digital scale. Please read all
operating instructions carefully before use. This electronic scale is a
precision instrument. With normal care and proper treatment, it will provide
years of reliable service. For more information please visit
www.myweigh.com
Never load the scale with more than the maximum capacity. Although the
Vox-2 is designed to be extremely durable with extra overload protection
built into the case, overloading will permanently damage it! Avoid any
exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your scale works better when operated at
normal room temperature. Keep your scale in a clean environment. Dust,
dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents and/or a close proximity to other
electronic equipment can all cause an adverse effect on the reliability and
accuracy of your scale. Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be
weighed onto tray top. Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the
scale. Scales are delicate instruments and unlike cellular phones, scales
have delicate sensors that determine how much an item weighs. If you drop
or shock your scale, there is no way for us to protect 100% against load cell
or sensor damage.
Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
Always allow the scale to acclimate to normal room temperature for at least
one hour before use. Give your scale sufficient warm up time: usually 30-
60 seconds before calibration to give the internal components a chance to
stabilize.
BATTERIES
Low batteries and bad battery connections are the #1 cause of scale
malfunction and inaccuracy. We test all of our scale returns from consumers
and 60% of them are battery related problems. This sounds silly but it’s
true! A scale will perform poorly when it has low batteries. Use good quality

Page 2of 5
batteries and replace them often (remove the batteries if you plan to store
the scale for longer than 14 days). We include good quality batteries with all
of our scales but they can run low in storage. If your scale simply won’t turn
on while on battery power, it is often caused by loose battery connections.
Battery prongs (terminals) are made of metal and they have to be in contact
with the batteries. You can use a paperclip to slightly bend the battery
prongs to have a better connection. Some poorly designed batteries have
recessed or partially obstructed battery terminals. This may cause your
prongs to be touching the plastic housing of the battery instead of the metal
of the battery terminal.
Battery installation
a) Press and lift open the battery cover located at the bottom of the unit.
b) Insert four AA batteries and make sure the polarity is correct (+) and (-).
c) Close the battery cover until it clicks shut.
Note: If the battery symbol appears in the display, it means low battery
power. It is time to replace the battery. If the power is too low, it will
show “Lo” when powered on and then it will turn off automatically.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Weighing Procedures
1) Place the scale on a flat hard surface.
2) Press and release the [ON] key and it will say “Hello!” This is the far
right button on the front of the scale.
3) Once the platform is stable, you will hear “I’m Ready!” and the display
shows “0.”
4) The weight will be displayed on the LCD and spoken when the reading
is steady.
5) Gently place the items to be weighed on the scale platform.
6) Press [TARE] to deduct the weight of an item or container that is on
the scale. The reading is now “0.”This is the far left button.
7) The stability indicator “H” in the top left corner will display when the
weight is stable.
8) Press [MODE] to select the desired weighing mode (grams or ounces).
This is the second button from the left.
9) Turn the scale off by pressing the [OFF] key and it will say “Goodbye.”
This is the second button from the right.

Tare
Tare can be used for eliminating the weight value of an empty container.
Place an empty container on the scale and press [TARE]. Then place the
items to be weighed in the container. NOTE: When all weight is removed
from the weighing tray, the tared value of a container will be displayed as a
negative number. Press tare again to return the scale to zero.
CALIBRATION
Calibration may be required when the scale is first set up for use, or if the
scale is moved to a different altitude or new location. This is necessary
because the weight of a mass in one location is not necessarily the same in
another location. Also, with time and use, mechanical deviations can occur.
1. Place the scale on a flat hard surface.
2. Press the [ON] key and it will say “Hello!”
3. Once the platform is stable, you will hear “It’s ready!” and the display
shows “0.”
4. Put 5kg standard weight on the platform. Make sure the reading is
steady.
5. Press and hold the [TARE] key for 5 seconds, the display will show
“5000” and flash twice. Do not release the key until it shuts down
automatically. The calibration is complete.
FEATURES
Overload Indicator
When the display shows “Err”, this indicates an overload. Remove excessive
load immediately.
Remember: you can permanently damage the scale and void your warranty
by overloading it!
Negative Value
Any tared value will be displayed as a negative number once all weight is
removed. Press [TARE] to re-zero the scale.

Auto off
An auto shut off feature is provided to conserve battery power. The unit will
automatically turn off after 90 seconds of inactivity.
To add the weight feature
Press [TARE] to zero the value of the last weighing item before adding the
next item being weighed. You can repeat this procedure many times as long
as the combined weights are less than capacity.
Note: The scale will give an audio signal to represent negative readings
when using TARE function.
AUDIO
Switching the talking feature on/off
Use the switch on the bottom of the scale to switch on/off the talking
feature.
Adjusting sound level
Use the switch on the bottom to set sound level Hi/Lo.
Selecting language
1. After showing “0”, press and hold the [MODE] button for 7 seconds.
You will hear “Hello” of the existing language.
2. Press the [MODE] button to select the desired language.
3. To confirm the selection, press and hold the [MODE] button until it
says “Goodbye.”
