First of all, thank you for purchasing the USA Measurements
Army “iCount” US-iC series electronic counting scale from our
company. The high quality and reliability of our products are
the best in the measurements industry. There are specific
methods of installation, operation, and maintenance in this
manual that are very important to adhere to. In order for your
scale to work well, you must read the manual carefully before
using.
【

】
ATTENTION
l Do not let anything drop onto the pan.
l Do put the scale in a dangerous enviornment.
l Keep the scale in a level area unobstructed by objects.
l Do not count pieces on the scale or move around the pan.
l Keep the scale clean. If the product is not going to be
used for a long period of time recharge the battery once a
month. When the scale has been inactive for a period of
time it is necessary to charge the battery before using the
scale again.
l We suggest all maintenance to be done by a technician.

1.1 ATTENTION BEFORE USING
1. Place the scale on a clean, firm, flat surface without the
pan on top and keep away from any kind of vibration, heat, or
harsh changing temperatures. Adjust the 4 leveling feet so
that the bubble is centered in the circle and be sure the scale
is level each time you move the product.
2. Connect the AC adapter to an independent power supply to
avoid interference from other equipment.
3. Scale pan must be empty when turning on the scale.
4. The first time setting up the scale wait 3-5 minutes for the
scale to autocalibrate.
5. For best weighing accuracy, the center of gravity for an
object should be placed in the center of the pan and not in the
corner or edge of pan.

2. Put the scale on a firm and horizontal surface, adjust the
feet to keep the scale stable and level the feet till the bubble is
centered in the circle.
3. Put the pan on the body and press
【

】
key to turn on
the scale in weighing mode.
2.2 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Take off the stainless steel pan, open the housing, and
disconnect the battery connectors.
2. Install the new battery in same position and connect
negative and positive poles correctly.
Warning
：
The positive and negative poles of lead-acid battery
installed incorrectly can cause a short circuit or electrode
reverse, which will damage the battery and may cause a fire.
Connection: Red wire to red pole and black wire to black pole.
3. Screw back in the housing and place the weighing pan on
the scale. After that the battery replacement is complete.
