 displays. The MOSFET functions as before.

3. Press the 

SELECT

 key again to change to the 

BLINKLCD

 response. Weight readings continue, but the display 

alternates between a standard weight reading and a 

HI SETPT

 indication.

  In all three modes, the overload condition overrides the display mode.

4. After the desired setpoint response is selected, press the
