Appion WS260 Operation Manual Download Page 6

Getting Started

1. 

Remove the WS260 from its protective case and place on a level and firm surface. If the scale is 
used on a sloped or otherwise unstable surface, irregular or inaccurate readings may result.

2. 

Press the power button to turn on the WS260.

3. 

Take note of the reading on the display. If the reading does not show 

zero

 with an empty platform, 

you should ‘zero’ the scale to ensure an accurate reading. Press and hold the TARE button to zero 
the WS260.

4. 

With the scale properly zeroed, you may now weigh your materials.

5. 

If desired, connect to the Appion Central Mobile App to view remote readings, set alarms, 
download data and more.

Bluetooth® Wireless Operation

NOTE:

 Bluetooth® communication requires a compatible device running the Appion Central Mobile App. 

Visit the App Store or Google Play to download the latest version.

The WS260 is equipped with long range, low energy Bluetooth® technology. To connect to the 
WS260, simply open the Appion Central Mobile App and navigate to the ‘My Devices’ submenu. 
Bluetooth® connectivity is always enabled for ease of use and fast connections to your device. If 
desired, you can change the range (Normal or Long Range) in the main menu of the WS260. Note 
that changing to ‘Long Range’ will reduce battery life but enable up to ≈984ft (≈300m) line-of-sight 
connectivity.
