“-F-”. 

3.  Scroll down using the ZERO/OFF (down) key to reach the parameter level. The instrument 

shows “F   1”. 

4.  Move from one “F” menu parameter to the next by using the TARE (left) or ON/PRINT (right) 

keys. For example, to go from F1 to F2, press the ON/PRINT key. To go from F2 back to 
F1, press the TARE key. 

5.  Once  you  have  arrived  at  the  proper  “F”  menu  parameter,  e.g.  ”F    1”,  press  the  

ZERO/OFF (down) key once to arrive at the selection level. The instrument displays the cur-
rent parameter setting. 

6.  To  scroll  thru  the  available  parameter  settings,  use  the  TARE  (left)  or  ON/PRINT  (right) 

keys.  

7.  Once the setting  you want is displayed on the screen, press the NET/GROSS (set) key to 

save this value and revert back up to the parameter level, e.g. ”F    1”.  

8.  In  order  to  save  all  parameter  settings,  it  is  imperative  to  exit  all  menus  in  the  following 

manner: At the parameter level, press the UNITS (up) key twice (two times) to exit the Setup 
Menu. The instrument displays ‘SAvE’ and then automatically powers off.
