For Accurate Measurements
Always…
Ensure the weighing platf rm is placed n a level and stable surface.
Av id measuring in multiple l cati ns with greatly differing temperatures.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand for at least
2 hours before using if it is moved to a new location with a temperature difference
of 36˚F / 20°C or more.
Av id subjecting the equipment t excessive sh cks r vibrati ns.
Use in a stable l cati n.
Errors in measurements may occur if the device is used in an unstable location.
Scheduled Maintenance
Always…
Update settings, replace items, r call f r service as necessary acc rding t the results f the

“OL” is displayed
“-OL” is displayed
“Error” is displayed
•Check the connection of the AC adapter jack to the DC jack, and the connection of the AC
adapter plug to the power outlet.
•The batteries may be weak. Try an AC adapter or new LR6 (AA) batteries.

•Batteries Unplug the DC connecter on the back of the display box.
The batteries are running out. Please replace them immediately or use the AC adapter.
•Check that all feet of scale are stable and on a hard flat surface, carpeting depth should be
kept to a minimum.
•After having stepped down from the scale and pressed the key, perform the
measurement again.
•Accurate measurement may be impossible if the product is used where there is excessive
vibration.
•Are you moving during measurement?
•Is the measured weight within the range of weight measurement?
•The range of weight (440lb / 200kg) is exceeded.
