Calibrating the Scale (Pounds & Kilograms)
1. Before proceeding, ensure that the scanner/scale has been pre-
pared for this process by performing the preceding steps titled,
Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration
.
2. Remove the weigh platter and make sure that there are no
obstructions in the debris chutes.
3. Locate the calibration switch access cover. Since the position of
this cover varies depending upon the model,
Figure 5-1
a and
Figure 5-1
c illustrates the two possible locations it can be found.
4. If one is present, cut and remove the seal securing the calibration
switch access cover. The seal may not be present if this is the ini-
tial installation of the scanner/scale.
5. Expose the calibration switch. Depending upon the model type,
either remove the calibration switch access cover by removing the
screw as shown in
Figure 5-1
a, or slide the cover to reveal the
switch as shown in
Figure 5-1
c.
6. Press and release the Calibration Switch to place the scanner/scale
in Calibration Mode (See
Figure 5-1
b and
Figure 5-1
c). The scan-
ner/scale will sound a tone indicating that it is in Calibration
Mode. If the motor was spinning when you initiated Calibration
Mode, the motor will stop and the Yellow LED will begin flash-
ing indicating the scale is in Calibration Mode. The display will
show the message “ESCL” (empty scale).
7. Reinstall the weigh platter.
8. Press the Zero Push Button. The Yellow LED will go out for
approximately 10 seconds (or less) and the Remote Display will
alternately display
and until the scale is
ready to proceed.

cedures when exposing internal scanner-scale components.
