"CAUTION". These words mean the following:
△WARNING
Important information to alert you to a
situation that might cause serious injury and
damage to your property if instructions are
not followed.
△CAUTION Important information that tells how to prevent
damage to equipment.
When using the scale/balance, the following safety precautions should always be
followed.
△
WARNING
Use only the AC adaptor with the scale/balance. Other adaptor may cause
damage. (AC adaptor is optional)
△
CAUTION
Avoid installing the scale/balance in direct sunlight, this may cause discoloration or

Do not mix the type of batteries. Replace all other batteries at the same time.
If the scale/balance is not to be used for a long period of time, remove all batteries
from the battery compartment to avoid leakage which may cause damage to the
instrument.
Avoid overloading that could cause damage to the scale/balance.
Do not drop water in the scale/balance that is not water-resistant. It causes damage,
if inside of the scale/balance is wet.
Matter charged static electricity could influence the weighing. Discharge the static

7. Place the items that you want to count onto the tray and the total number of items
will show on the display.
8. Press the [UNIT] key to exit the counting function and return to normal weighing
or you can press ON/OFF to turn the scale off to exit.
NOTE: the weight of unit sample > 10e.
CALIBRATION
When to calibrate
Calibration may be required when it is initially installed, if the scale/balance is
moved to a substantial distance.This is necessary because the weight of a mass in
one location is not necessarily the same in another location. Also, with time and use,
mechanical deviations may occur.
How to calibrate
1.Before entering calibration mode, press [ON/OFF] to turn the power on for 5
minutes.
2.select the calibration unit
Press [ON/OFF] to turn the power off. Press and hold [UNIT] first ,then
press[ON/OFF],the display will show “ ”,the ▼sign indicate the calibration
unit .Press [ZERO] key, the ▼sign indicate the different calibration unit (eg: g、
oz or lb) .Now the calibration unit is selected.
3.Enter calibration mode
Press [ON/OFF] to turn the power off. Press [UNIT] first, then Press [ON/OFF],
while keeping pressing [UNIT], the display will show “CAL”then press the[UNIT]
again,the display show”888888” and then display all segments, finally show the
A/D value .
4.Calibration by the weight
Wait for the stable indicator to be displayed, Press [UNIT], waiting for 3 seconds,
the display will show "00SAVE",then the display show the calibration weigh ,Place
the calibration weight on platform, after the stable indicator is displayed, then
press [UNIT], waiting for 3 seconds, the display will show "00SAVE"and return to
A/D value, now calibration is finished.
5.
Press [ON/OFF], turn off the power, press [ON/OFF] turn on the power again,
check some weight readings , if not, repeat steps 3-5.
6.Return to weighing mode
Press [ON/OFF] to turn the power off. Press [ON/OFF] again to turn on the
power and the scale/balance return to the weighing mode.

while keeping [ZERO] pressed, the display will show A_ON or A_OFF.
1. Selection of auto backlight mode.
When the balance enter function setting menu. Press [UNIT] key, the display
will show L_ON or L_OFF, press [ZERO], selection display L_ON, this
means auto backlight function active, press [ZERO] again, the display will
show L_OFF, this means auto backlight function inactive, i.e. shut off
backlight function.
2. Selection of auto shut off mode.
When the balance enter function setting menu. Press [UNIT] key, the display
will show A_ON or A_OFF, press [ZERO], selection display A_ON, this
means auto shut off function active. Press [ZERO] again, the display will
show A_OFF, this means auto shut off function inactive.
3. Return to weighing mode.
Press[ON/OFF] to turn the power off, press [ON/OFF] again to turn on the
power and the scale return to the weighing mode.
Counting procedures
1.Press [ON/OFF] to turn on the scale.
Wait for "0" to appear on the display.
2.Start the Count Procedure
If necessary, press [ZERO] key to set the display to “0”.
3. Place a given number of samples of an item on the pan (the Sample Size should
be either 10、20、50 or 100 pieces). The weight of these samples will show on the
display.
4. Press the [UNIT] key several times to put the scale in PCS mode.
5. Select the sample size (the same as you chose above) by pressing the [PCS] key.
(press it as many times as necessary to put it in the correct sample size ,the
sample size is the same as in step three =10、20、50or100.
7.Press the [UNIT] key, the display will show “selected pcs”, then the scale will
recall the sample size you selected and show the starting sample size on the

Whenever possible, please allow the balance to warm up for 10 minutes after first
turning to power on, so that the balance will function. Properly and accurately.
Error messages
EEEE: Overload
: Low battery
Calibration may be required before weighing.
Read "CALIBRATION" first and if necessary, calibrate your scale/balance for
accurate weighing.
Weighing procedures
1.Press [ON/OFF] to turn on the scale/balance.
When power is turned on,the display show “888888” then display all segments
appear on LCD for a few seconds and finally "0" will appear on the display.
2.Select the weighing unit with [UNIT].
Press [UNIT] to select a weighing unit, eg. "g"、" oz " 、" lb "、" dwt "、"ozt"、
"tl.H"、"tl.T","ct"、"pcs".
Once the unit has been selected, the selected unit will be displayed to the weight
value.
3.Start weighing
If you do not use a container for weighing,
Verify the reading is "0". If not, press [ZERO] to display "0".
