Taring
A weight can be determined accurately only from
a defined zero point. Press one of the
t
keys
(6)
to zero the weight display. You can tare within the
entire weighing range of the balance.
Simple Weighing (Weight Determination)
Place your sample on the weighing pan
(1)
to
determine the weight. Read off the weight indicated
on the display only after the weight unit “g”
or a different unit selected appears as the stability
symbol. You can find more information on the weight
units on page 33 under “Weight Units.”

The symbol
n
in the weight display (on the left)
shows that the balance is exactly tared to “
Zero
”
(±0.25 of a scale interval).
