IV. IMPORTANT NOTICE
• Keep the tester dry. Precipitation and all types of
liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will
corrode electronic circuits. If your tester does get wet,
remove the battery, and allow the tester to dry
completely before replacing it.
• Do not use, store or expose the scale in dusty and
dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic
components can be damaged.
• Do not use, store or expose the scale in hot areas.
High temperatures can damage or shorten the life of
the tester, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain
plastics.
• Do not use, store or expose the scale in cold areas.
When the tester returns to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the tester and damage
electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the scale other than as
instructed in this handbook.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the scale. Rough
handling might break internal circuit boards and ne
mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or

1. GETTING STARTED with your Presidium Carat
Scale
Powering up your Presidium Carat Scale
This scale can be powered by either the use of an AC
adaptor (optional item sold separately) or through the use
of batteries. If AC adaptor is used, connect one end of the
AC adaptor to the tester and the other end directly into
a suitable electrical outlet. Please ensure that only the
adaptor supplied by Presidium is used (Fig. 1.1).
If batteries are used (4 x AAA batteries), take note of the
positive (+) and negative (-) directions of batteries when
inserting the batteries into the scale (Fig. 1.2). The use
of alkaline batteries is preferred, as it should generally
give approximately two and a half hours of continuous
operation, while the use of ordinary batteries will give a
shorter working life.
