c. The scale is turned on
d. The ZERO INDICATOR is on. If not, press ZERO to set
display to zero
5.2 WEIGHING
a. Always place an object onto the scale gently
Excessive force applied to platter may cause damages
to weight sensor
b. The weight of the object is displayed on the indicator
automatically
c. It is a good practice to remove all loads from scale
after weighing. It would prolong the lifetime of
weight sensor
5.3 SELECT WEIGHT UNIT
Press MODE to shift between metric or avoirdupois weight
units. The weight unit used before power off would be
employed when the scale is turned on again.
NOTE:
To comply with the law of certain countries and certain
approval requirements, the avoirdupois weight units may

Follow the below steps to turn on and off backlight (if
purchased).
a. Scale is on
b. Press and hold ZERO until backlight is activated;
orpressMODEto shift between metric and avoirdupois
weight to turn on and off backlight
Even though the backlight function is employed,

detected and remains stable for 10 seconds
Backlight will be automatically turned on again when
a new weight is detected or when any key is pressed.
5.5 SET DISPLAYED VALUE TO ZERO WHEN UNLOADED
By pressing ZERO, weight displayed will be set to zero
and ZERO INDICATOR appears.

Refer to SPECIFICATIONS for maximum zero range.
NOTE:
-When scale is set at OIML and application is legal for
trade. User only needs to press ZERO once when setting
the value to zero. The re-zero function will take place
when reading is stabled
-When scale is set at Normal and application is not legal
for trade. User can set the value to zero at anytime
when pressing ZERO
5.6 TARE OFF THE WEIGHT OF A CONTAINER
