Precautions for Use
4.1.
Precautions When Installing the Scale
Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock.
Do not install the scale in a location where corrosive gas or flammable gas are present.
Do not apply excessive load to the cable.
The scale is heavy. Use caution when lifting, moving and carrying the scale. Do not lift the scale by
holding the display unit or weighing pan. Doing so may cause the product to fall and be damaged. Hold
the bottom side of the base unit when lifting, moving and carrying the scale.
Use the scale indoors. If used outdoors, the scale may be subjected to lightning surges that exceed the
discharge capacity. It may not be able to withstand the energy of the lightning and may be damaged.
Consider the following installation conditions in order to obtain the proper performance.
The ideal conditions for installation are stable temperature and humidity, solid and level surface, location
with no draft or vibration, indoors out of direct sunlight and a stable power supply.
Do not install the scale on a soft floor or where there is vibration.
Do not install the scale in location where breezes or large fluctuations in temperature occur.
Avoid locations in direct sunlight.
Do not install in a location with strong magnetic fields or strong radio signals.
Do not install the scale in a location where static electricity is likely to occur. When humidity is 45% R.H. or less,
plastic and insulating materials are susceptible to being charged with static electricity due to friction, etc.
The scale is not dustproof or waterproof. Install the scale in a location where it will not become wet.
When the AC adapter is connected to an unstable AC power supply, it may malfunction.
Turn on the scale using the ON/OFF key and keep the weighing display on for at least 30 minutes
before use.
4.2.
Precautions When Weighing
Do not place a load exceeding the weighing capacity on the weighing pan.
Do not apply shock to or drop anything on the weighing pan.
Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pen to press switches.
Press the ZERO key before each weighing to reduce weighing errors.
Periodically confirm that weighing values are correct.
4.3.
Precautions for Storing
Do not disassemble the scale.
Wipe using a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent when cleaning the scale. Do not use
organic solvents. Using organic solvents such as MEK may cause the display to become so opaque that it
cannot be properly seen.
Prevent water, dust and other foreign materials from getting into the scale.
Do not scrub with a brush or the like.
