SWS-PCS Retail Scale Instruction Manual
Thank you for purchasing Model SWS-PCS Retail Scale. Please read all operating instructions
carefully before using and note the following points
Avoid using in extreme heat, cold or wet and the environment which has intensive change in
temperature, humidity and pressure.
Allow sufficient warm up time after turn the scale on, to allow the internal components and load
cell to have enough time to stabilize and balance heat.
Do not read the scale long time after the reading is stable, as there might be minor changes on
output signal of the load cell and electronics after long time.
Do not operate near an in-use cell phone, radio, computer or other electronic device as these
devices emit RF and maybe cause unstable scale readings.
