III. Power

Low batteries can cause inaccuracy in digital scales. If 

you are experiencing issues with your scale, first try new 

batteries. Most times, this will solve the problem.

1. 

Before using the scale for the first time, check 

the battery compartment and remove any plastic 

insulation strips or packaging that may be in place to 

prevent battery drainage during shipping/storage.

2.  If you are replacing the batteries, make sure the 

positive and negative contacts are properly aligned.

3.  Only use the included adapter when plugging the 

scale into AC power. (SC-501A & SC-2KGA only)

IV. Operation

1. 

Place the scale on a flat, level surface and press the 

ON/OFF 

key to turn the scale on.

2.  Once the start-up process completes and the scale 

goes to zero you are ready to weigh.

3.  Place the quantity to be weighed onto the weighing 

platform.

4.  Wait a couple seconds for the display to stabilize 

before taking a weight reading.

5.  To turn the scale OFF, press the 

ON/OFF 

key again.

V.  Changing the Unit of Measure

1.  Press the 

MODE

 key to change the scales displayed 

unit of measure.

2.  If the scale is turned off then back on, it will default 

to the last unit used.
