Choose the appropriate units of measure (standard tons, long tons,
metric tons, and on).

Enter the correct belt-scale code for your particular scale.

Enter the parameters you recorded in your “Initialization Data
Summary” table above (
Table 2–1 or Table 2–2 ).
The first time you power up the Micro-Tech, you are doing what is
known as a “cold-start.” Once the Micro-Tech is up and running, you
can use the cold-start procedure (described below) to—in computer
terms—“reboot” the Micro-Tech. In other words, when you do a cold
start, the Micro-Tech’s RAM memory is erased and everything is
returned to its initial start-up state. As a result, cold-starts are used, for
example, to restore all the Micro-Tech settings from a previously made
back-up flash drive.
To cold-start the Micro-Tech, do the following.
1. Turn on the Micro-Tech’s power switch while simultaneously
pressing and holding soft-key #1 and the Run button. (See Figure 3–
1 for the location of these buttons.)
2. The Micro-Tech starts up, and the Alarm LED will light to indicate
that the Micro-Tech has not yet been initialized or calibrated. After a
brief delay the Default screen appears, as shown in the section
below.
You are now ready to set the current date and time. (In the following
example we are going to set the date to May 21, 2013.)
