2. Important Notes for Users 

Handling Tips 

This scale is a precision instrument utilizing state-of-the art technology. To keep the unit in the best 
condition, follow these instructions carefully.

•  Do not attempt to disassemble the measuring platform and display.
•  Avoid excessive impact or vibration to the unit. 
•  Place the unit in an area free from direct sunlight, heating equipment, high humidity, or extreme 

temperature change. 

•  Never submerge in water or spill chemical liquids. To clean, use a dampened cloth and mild detergent.
•  If the product will not be used for a long period, remove the batteries before storage.

Moving the Scale

The scale has two rear wheels on the back of the platform. To avoid damage, use the wheels when moving
the scale. Hold the display head securely and tilt the scale back about 30-45 degrees. Wheels will allow
easy movement. IMPORTANT: Any time the scale is moved or re-located, be sure to press the ‘Zero’ key
before use.

To confirm a key operation has been selected, a “beep” will sound when any key is pressed. To disable
this sound, press the up arrow and down arrow keys simultaneously for three seconds. To re-activate the
key sound, press the up arrow and down arrow keys simultaneously again for three seconds. The volume
of this beep sound is not adjustable.

This function can be used to change the measurement units on the Weight display: lb, kg, and fractional
lb. The measurement unit keys are located on the left display panel. You may press this key before or 
while the user is on the platform.
