ity of the batteries. Push the cover back over
the battery compartment so that it audibly

STARTING UP
1. Place the scale on a dry, clean and even work
surface. Switch the scale on with the ON/OFF
button, the display first states “88888” and
then “0.0g”. “zero” lights up to the left. This
indicates that the scale is functioning properly,
otherwise, the display would permanently
state “88888”.
Notes:
If no weight is placed on the scale, it auto-
matically switches off after 60 seconds.
If the scale was overloaded (max. weight:
650g), the display would state “0_Ld”.

35
2. Use the MODE button to set the desired unit of
measurement. You can select “g”, “oz”, “ozt”
and “ct”. The selected unit of measurement
lights up to the right of the number.
3. Place the item you want to weigh in the centre
of the weighing platform. The correct weight
is being displayed when “hold” lights up to
the left of the number.
4. If before weighing the display does not state
“0.0”, press the TARE button to set the display
to “0.0”. The indication “zero” lights up in the
bottom left corner next to the weight.

Tip: If you have placed a weight on the
weighing platform already and now want
to weigh a new weight, you can press the
TARE button to set the display back to
“0.0”. Only the weight of the second item is
displayed.
5. Press the ON/OFF button if the appliance is
not in use resp. after you have finished using
it to switch the appliance off. Place the trans-
parent cover back on the scale to protect it.
Note: The appliance switches off automati-
cally 60 seconds after the last use.
Explanation of the LCD display
If the scale is overloaded (more than 650 g),
“0_Ld” lights up in the display.
If the batteries are too weak, “Lo” lights up
in the display. In this case, switch the appli-
ance off with the ON/OFF button and change
the batteries.
If the scale has registered the weight of
the item, “hold” lights up in the upper left
corner of the display.

CALIBRATION
• For calibration, switch the appliance on with
the ON/OFF button and press and hold the
MODE button for 3 seconds. “CAL” lights
up in the display. Briefly release the MODE
button before pressing it again to calibrate
ZERO.
• Now, “200.0g” lights up in the display. Place a
weight of 200g in the centre of the weighing
platform. If the calibration is correct, “PASS”
lights up in the display. Otherwise, “200.0 g”
flashes permanently in the display. If this is the
case, please repeat the calibration.
• The calibration process has to be performed
carefully and with utmost delicacy, as it cannot
be undone and can only be compensated by
another calibration process. If the weight
used for the calibration process is not exact-
ly “200.0 g”, the scale will display incorrect
weights after calibration.
