TO CHANGE MEASUREMENT UNITS
Your scale is set to weigh in pounds. To switch between measurement units:

showing zero.
2.
When “
8888
” appears, press the “
q

(st) units of measurement (1 stone = 14 pounds).
ACCURACY & ALLOWANCES
Some factors affecting accuracy need to be allowed for:
• If the strap is pulled while taking a zero reading or the luggage touches yourself or an obstacle
during weighing this can affect the accuracy.
• Your scale rounds up or down to the nearest increment. If you take two readings and get different
readings, the weight lies between the two.
• Your scale readings may not match the airline check-in desk due to manufacturing tolerances.
• After a flight allow the scale to return to room temperature before use. For these reasons we
recommend your luggage weighs at least 1.2lb/500g less than your airline allowance, this should
also allow you to take your luggage scale with you.
ADVICE FOR USE & CARE
• Do not exceed the 110 lb / 50 kg / 7 stone 12 lb maximum weight capacity.
• Clean your scale with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaning agents.
• Do not use scale if the strap or buckle show any signs of fatigue.
• Treat your scale with care – it is a precision instrument. Do not drop it.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the battery if the scale
will not be used for a long period of time.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If you experience any difficulty in the use of your scale:
• Check that the battery is correctly fitted.
• Check that you have selected your preference of pounds, kilograms or stones.
• If when you use the scale there is no display at all or if “
” or “
Lo
” is displayed – try a new
battery.
• This scale is designed to read weights between 1.2 and 110 lb / 500 g and 50 kg/ 1.2 lb and 7 st 12
lb. To prevent damage, do not place more than 110 lb / 50 kg/ 7 st 12 lb on it.
• If “ EEEE ” is displayed the scale has been overloaded. Remove the weight immediately; otherwise,
permanent damage could occur.
