Off button until OFF
is displayed, then release the button.
2.5.2 Turning Power On and Off
Press the On O/T button to turn power on.
2.6 Initial Calibration
When the scale is first installed, and when it is moved to another location, it must be calibrated
to ensure accurate weighing results. Have the appropriate calibration masses available before
beginning calibration. Refer to Section 3.7.1and 3.7.2 for masses and calibration procedure.
2.3 Selecting the Location
Locate the scale on a firm, steady surface. Avoid locations with excessive air current, vibrations,
heat sources, or rapid temperature changes.
2.4 Leveling the Scale
Before the scale is used, the feet should be adjusted so that the scale is level with the surface.
This will enable accurate weighing. You will see a level bubble indicator in a small round
window on the front of the scale. Level the scale by adjusting the leveling feet so the bubble is
centered in the circle, as seen below.
