 For use in dry environments only.
 This product uses 4xAA batteries. Dispose of according to local laws and regulations.
 Read and understand all operating instructions before using this product. Keep this manual for future
reference.
 Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale on and allow up to 10 minutes for internal components to stabilize
before weighing.
 Record the weight shortly after placing a load on the platter. Leaving loads in place for extended periods may vary the
load cell’s output signature and may result in a less accurate reading.
 Avoid extended exposure to extreme heat or cold. Optimum operation is at normal room temperature. ee operating
temperature range in the specifications table. Allow the scale to acclimate to room temperature before using.
 When storing the scale for extended periods, the battery must be charged every 90 days to avoid premature
performance degradation. Over time, the operating time per charge will degrade. If the operating time is no longer
acceptable even after recharging, the battery must be replaced.
 Electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate near cell phones, radios, computers or other electronic
devices that emit radio frequencies that may cause unstable readings.

 Remove the scale from the box and place it on a firm, level surface. Avoid locations with rapid temperature changes,
excessive dust, moisture, air currents, vibrations, electromagnetic fields, heat or direct sunlight.
 Adjust the leveling feet until the bubble is centered in the circle of the level indicator
(located on the front panel).
NOTE
NOTENOTE
NOTE: Ensure that the scale is level each time its location is changed.
 Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power input receptacle underneath the scale. Plug the AC adapter into a
properly grounded power outlet.
 If the scale will be stored or transported in the future, save the packaging material to ensure the best possible
protection for the scale.

subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The "NET" indicator will be on. As product is added only the
weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added
to the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.
When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared just before removing the container
this value is the gross weight of the container plus all product that was removed. The zero indicator will also be on
