・Never disassemble or modify the equipment. This may result in electric shock or bodily injury, or
affect the accuracy of the product.
・Do not throw batteries onto a fire. Doing so may cause them to explode.
・When carrying the scale, hold the base firmly with
both hands. Dropping the scale may cause damage or injury.

・Be sure to insert the batteries with the “+” and “-“
symbols in the correct orientation.Do not use old and
new batteries or use different types of batteries
together.
Doing so may result in the battery fluid leaking,
heat generation or explosion of the batteries which
may result in injury or damage to the scale.
・When using the AC adapter, do not handle the plug

Cautions
This scale is designed to meet IEC IP67 (dustproof/waterproof) standards, but when used in certain
conditions the dustproof/waterproof functionality of the scale cannot be maintained. Additionally, such
conditions may result in damage or malfunctions, and may prevent the scale from measuring
accurately. Be sure to obey the following.
Failure to obey these instructions may prevent the scale from measuring correctly, and may cause
damage to the scale or result in malfunction.
■Do not use when the battery cover or rubber cap (when the AC adapter is not being used) are removed.
■ Do not allow water that is hotter than 40℃(104℉) or steam to come into contact with this scale.
■Do not wash this scale in a dishwasher.
■Do not leave this scale in water.
■Do not use this scale when it is wet.
■Do not touch the ventilation filter or the area around the filter.
■Do not allow substances such as oil (soot) or chemicals, or anything other than water to come into contact with
the ventilation filter or the area around the filter.
■Do not touch the bellows unless cleaning the scale.
■Be careful not to damage the bellows when cleaning.
■Do not open and close the battery cover in locations where there is a lot of sand or dust, etc.
■Use in a stable, flat location.
■ After moving the scale to a location that has more than a 10℃(50℉)temperature difference from the previous
location,leave for at least 2 hours before use.
■Use near lighting equipment (inverter fluorescent lamp), medical equipment (microwave therapy equipment),
induction cookers, microwave ovens, communication devices (mobile phones, etc.) and other such devices may
cause malfunction due to interference.
■When powdered substances, etc. are slowly added to the scale when zero is displayed, the display may not
change. In such cases, place a slightly larger amount on the scale and then reduce to the required amount, or
increase the speed at which the substance is placed on the scale.
■Do not place in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight, near a heater or directly in line with the air output from
an air conditioner.
■Do not expose the scale to excessive shock or vibration.
■Do not use or store the scale in an extremely hot or cold location, or in a location that experiences extreme
temperature differences.
■Do not use boiling water or chemicals such as benzene, thinner or bleach on the scale.
