12. CARE, PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Warning messages:
“Overload”
indicates that the maximum weighing capacity of the
scale has been exceeded. Remove the weight immediately; other-
wise, permanent damage could occur.
“Negative load”
indicates items have been removed from the plat-
form after their weights have been zeroed out. Press ZERO to reset the
scale to zero.
1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp (not wet) cloth. To re-
move stains, use a mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water,
treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays. Avoid contact with
acids, such as citrus juices.
2. Do not tamper with the scale's internal components. Doing so will in-
validate the warranty on this unit and may cause damage. The scale
contains no user-serviceable parts.
3. Although your scale is designed to be maintenance-free, it contains
sensitive electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Treat it with care to
ensure the best performance.
4. This scale is intended for home/consumer use only. It is not intended
for commercial or medical use.
5. This scale is designed to read weights up to 6 lbs 10 oz /3 kgs. To pre-
vent damage, do not place more than 6 lbs 10 oz /3 kgs on it.
6. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The vapors
from some household products may affect the electronic compo-
nents of your scale. Do not store scale on its side.
7. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to pre-
vent run down of the battery, do not store anything on the scale.
8. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Al-
ways replace all batteries at the same time; do not combine old and
new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, carbon zinc (standard) or Nickel-
Cadmium (rechargeable) batteries. Remove the batteries if the scale
will not be used for a long period of time.
