4. Cautions
4.1. Precautions for Installing the Scale
□ Ground the scale, so that the user will not be subjected to an electric shock.
□ To prevent electric shock, do not handle the USB cable with wet hands.
□ The USB cable is not waterproof.
Install the scale in an area where it will not get wet.
□ Do not install the scale where flammable or corrosive gas is present.
□ Do not put excessive force on cables.
□ The scale is heavy. Use caution, as lifting may cause it to fall over.
Consider the following installation conditions to get the greatest performance
from your scale.
□ Install the scale in an indoor location out of direct sunlight with stable temperature and
humidity that is free of drafts and vibrations, on a solid and level surface and with a stable
power supply.
□ Do not install on a soft floor or where there is vibration.
□ Do not install where there is wind or large fluctuations in temperature.
□ Avoid locations in direct sunlight.
□ Do not install in locations with strong magnetic fields or strong radio signals.
□ Do not install where static electricity is likely to occur. When humidity is 45% R.H. or less,
plastic and insulating materials are apt to be charged with static electricity due to friction, etc.
□ Unstable AC power supply may cause malfunctions.
□ Remove the protective film from the weighing pan before use.
□ Sensitivity adjustment should be performed for more accurate weighing when the scale is first
installed or when it is moved far. Refer to “ 14. Sensitivity adjustment ” for details.
4.2. Precautions for Weighing
□ Do not place loads on the weighing pan that exceed the weighing capacity.
□ Periodic sensitivity adjustment is recommended in order to maintain accurate weighing.
(Refer to “ 14. Sensitivity Adjustment ”)
□ Do not apply shock to or drop anything on the weighing pan.
□ Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil or pen to press keys or switches.
□ Press the ZERO key before each weighing to reduce the chance of error.
□ Do not weigh when the scale is immersed in water.
□ Periodically confirm that weighed values are correct.
□ The panel on the rear of the display unit should be kept closed during use to ensure it is
dustproof and water proof.
4.3. Precautions for Storing
□ Do not disassemble the scale.
□ If the scale becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent or
a rubbing alcohol (70% or less). Do not use organic solvents.
□ Do not scrub with a brush or the like.
□ Do not spray with strong jets of water.
