pressing the key.
4.4. Work with tare - After placing the package (tare) on the pan, press key. Readings
on the display is zeroed and the indicator „net weight” lights up. This means that next readings will be
net weight. To remove tare, unload the scale. The display will show the weight of the tare with „-“ and
the indicator „tare“ lights up. By pressing TARE key the scale is zeroed again.
4.5. Weight measuring – The item to be weighted is placed on the scale pan; the first line of
the display shows the measured weight. The weight data are considered correct, when the indicator for
stable reading lights up.
4.6. Price computing – The price is entered from the keypad before or after the load is placed
on the scale. It will be displayed on the second line of the LCD display and the calculated "Price to
pay" will be displayed on the third line. Key "C" on the keypad clears an entered price and then a new
price can to be entered.
4.7. Adding the “Price to pay” from the last measure to the current account – The “Price
to pay” from the last measure is added to the current account by pressing . When this operation
is performed the total cost and the number of products in the current account is briefly shown on the
display. Before adding the “Price to pay” of the next product measure, the scale has to be unloaded and
set to zero. By pressing key, the second line of the display shows TOTAL and the cost and the
number of added to the current account products is shown on the third line. To return to normal

The current voltage of the battery can be checked from menu 1.Bat of the scale. When “battery”
symbol is shown on the display, please recharge the battery as soon as possible. In reaching
impermissibly low voltages, the display turns off and the scale operation is blocked till the normal
values of the voltage are restored (plug in the adaptor).
7. Errors
Err1 – it is shown after passing the indication test when the load cell is deformed of
overloading or due to some reason the platform is heavier. The extra load should be removed.
If the error does not disappear turn to the closest service centre.
Err2 – when it is shown after passing the indication test it means that the load cell is
deformed backwards or the platform has is lightened. Place the pan on the scale or if it is on
its place turn to the closest service centre.
Err3 – after the initial zero- setting the weight of the platform is below the given limits.
Probably the pan has been removed during the operation or something is raising it.
Err4 – the scale is loaded with so extremely heavy load that it cannot be read by the
electronic block. If the scale is unloaded, turn to the nearest service.

Err5 – It is shown on the display with turning on the scale when data incorrectness in the
memory is detected.
“-HI-“ – overloading indication –a load over the maximum capacity is placed on the platform
