4. Pull the battery connector off the battery. Remove the battery by tilting it up sideways.
5. Install the new battery by tilting it in sideways and wedging it in the small indented region between the printed circuit
board and the case wall.
6. Reconnect the battery connector. Check for operation by pushing a key on the front panel and ensuring the indicator
LED is lit. If the LED is not lit, check the keyboard connector to ensure the connector is seated properly and the battery
is fresh.
7. Replace front panel/switch assembly by centering it over the open area and pressing the edges evenly until it seals.
8. Replace the three screws. Make sure the screw seal gaskets are in good condition.
3.7.1 Infrared Remote Comments
Due to the sensitivity required to allow for full sunlight operation, it is possible to overload the input to the infrared remote
receiver in the scale if the remote is too close. This situation is characterized by erratic remotely controlled operation.
The simple remedy for this is to not aim directly at the scale but aim slightly off center when very close.
The range of the remote is optimized when the scale is 8' or more off the ground. The infrared sensor is aimed slightly down to
help diminish sunlight overload. When the scale is closer to the ground, aim the remote up into the infrared window from below.
if the scale is used normally very low to the ground it is sometimes possible to bounce the infrared signal off the ground and up
into the sensor.
SHIFT
key functions require the keys are entered in rapid fashion. While entering values, if more than five seconds pass
between the
SHIFT
key and subsequent key presses, the scale forgets the prior
SHIFT
entry. This could mean the scale
powers off rather than go into test function (Shift, Power).
• The ID# function has a five second maximum window for the number entry otherwise the ID# remains as before
• As shipped, the MSI Infrared Remote operates the MSI-4300; Up to 8-channels are possible; Contact the factory for
more details
By special order it is possible to encode infrared transmissions so a separate remote is required for each MSI-4300.
