INSTALLATION
1. Remove the scale from its shipping container and inspect it for shipping damage. Should
evidence of damage be found, the carrier should be contacted at once. Retain the shipping
container for future storage or shipment of the scale.
2. Install the batteries. Refer to BATTERY REPLACEMENT section. If batteries are not to be
used, plug the optional AC power adapter into the power jack on the back of the scale.
3. Place the scale on a stable, vibration-free location away from direct sunlight and any rapidly
moving air source. If the AC power adapter is being used, make certain the cord is stored
out of the way of normal traffic.
4. Plug the optional AC power adapter (if used) into a 115 VAC 50/60 HZ grounded wall outlet.
5. The scale is now ready for use.
