two modes.
f. Press “

” to reset the scale for
normal operation.
Handling the scale
Despite the sturdy appearance of the scale,
each unit houses sensitive instrumentation
which may be damaged by careless handling of
the scale. Use both hands when transporting
the scale with at least one hand under the scale.
(This will be routinely required if the
charging site for the rechargeable battery is
not the same as the operation location.)
Placing a load
Always place a commodity gently on the platter.
Sudden shocks will damage the weighing sensor
irreparably. Careful attention to avoiding
shocks will extend the life of the sensor.
For best results, do not leave loads on the
platter for prolonged periods, as this may
impair the functioning of the weighing sensor,
afterwards.
Handling the plug
Disconnect the cord by the pulling on the plugs
only, never the cord itself.
Exposure to liquids
Only clean the scale in a manner prescribed
by the instructions below.
Should water or another liquid seep into the
enclosure, unplug the unit and have it checked
by your qualified personnel before operating
it any further.
Care should be taken when drinking beverages
near the scale, and when placing beverage
containers on or near the scale.
Thunderstorms
The GM is equipped with a lightning protection
circuit which can prevent about 90% of the
damage typica lly caused by lightning. The
effectiveness of the circuit depends on how
well grounding the instrument is.
However, during severe electrical storms it
is strongly advisable that the scale be
switched off and that the adaptor be completely
disconnected from the local power source.
Long-term storage
Charge the battery fully for an uninterrupted
eight hours. Be sure that there are no load
left on the platter. Clean and cover the scale.
