Instructions for Use
1. Please keep scale in a cool and dry place. Do not store under high temperatures.
2. Please keep the scale clean and free from insect infestation.
3. Avoid impacting with other items or overloaded with excessively heavy weights (The
load must not exceed the maximum capacity of the scale).
4. If the scale is not going to be used for some time, please clean it and store it in a plastic
bag in dry condition. A desiccant sachet may be included to prevent moisture from
building up.
5. Do not mix different types of dry battery or mix used dry batteries with new dry batteries.
6. Please operate or charge the scale in an open area. Do not squeeze the power cord to
avoid wire on fire.
7. Operating temperature: -10℃~ + 40℃
8. Any suggestion is warmly welcome.
Preparing to use the Scale
1. Locate the scale on a firm level surface free from vibrations for accurate weight readings.
Adjust the four leveling feet to centre the leveling bubble on the scale.
2. Avoid hot sunshine directly on the scale or near the exhaust port ofventilating system.
3. Please use a separate power source plug, to avoid the disturbance of other electric
appliance.
4. There should be no weight on the scale when power is turned on.
5. Commodity should be placed at the centre of platter when being weighed, and its size
should not exceed the dimension of the platter.
6. Please warm the scale 15 ~ 20 minutes before using.
7. Note that when symbol appears on the screen, the scale needs to be charged.
To guide you to use our product correctly, please read
this User Manual carefully to extend the life of scale and
to avoid error.

Introduction of Storage Battery:
Due to the storage battery adopt the advanced free-maintaining technique, customers need
not to replenish electrolyte.
The scale should be recharged every 3 months to prevent failure of the internal
rechargeable battery.
1. The battery should be charged for 8~10 hours.
2. The temperature of battery should below 45℃.
Maintaining
1. Please do not discharge with over-current when using the battery. Please charge the
battery after discharging current.
2. Please take down the battery when the scale is not used for a long time or break the
connection of cathode.
3. Do not short the battery terminals to check whether there is current. Please check
whether the connection point is firm to guarantee good connection.
4. The battery should be replaced by specialized person. No reverse-battery or the
product will be damaged.
a) Anode of battery should be connected with Anode of product battery（usually red
cable）
b) Cathode of battery should be connected with Cathode of product battery (usually
brown cable or black cable)
c) See the picture following
Safety warnings
1. The electrolyte of battery is caustic which causes metal, cotton, etc to corrode.
2. The hydrogen will be resolved when using or charging the battery and it will cause
explosion when approaches fire.

2-2-3 Totalizing
1. Weight Totalizing
Place goods on the platter, after stable and press key to save the weight value.
Then the display shows the total number of additions and the totalized weight value.
The (M+) indication “” will flash on the display. The indicator will recover to show the
weight value of the goods on the platter after 3 seconds; the (M+) indication “” is on.
The indicator allows the next totalizing operation, even when the weight value does
not return back to zero. The key is functional, when the weight value changes
by more than 10d. The indicator will save the totalized weight value after the weight is
stable.
The indicator can totalize positive or negative weight but can’t do both at the same
time. The totalized weight store must be reset to zero before it is possible to select
positive or negative totalizing mode.
The totalizing function can be used up to a maximum of 9999 times before it must be
reset. The totalizing display is limited to 6 digits maximum.
When totalizing, RS-232 will also output. ( Refer to F5 setting)

The indicators with two weighing ranges can NOT pre-set the tare value larger than the
first weighing range. For example: a 30 kg indicator is set by two weighing ranges. The
first range is 0 to 15 kg, and the second range is 15 to 30 kg. The pre-set tare value can
not be larger than 15 kg.
