an overload can damage the extremely sensitive weighing unit.
Damages of this kind are excluded from warranty.
TARE Function
This function is especially for measuring non-solid substances such
as liquids, powders etc. The weight of the container is compensated
so that the display only shows the net weight.
1. Switch on the scales, place a light-weight container onto the
weighing plate and wait for the display to stabilize.
2. Now press the TARE button (7), the display shows "0:00”.
3. Pour the substance you want to weigh into the container. The dis-
play now shows the net weight.
4. To quit the tare function, remove the container and press the
TARE button.
Calibration
The scales have been calibrated ex works. Due to gravity during
transport from the country of production to the location the scales
are taken into operation, accuracy may slightly deviate. To ensure
accuracy of the scales, we recommend to carry out calibrations in
regular intervals, before first use, after abrupt temperature changes
and mechanical strain.
1. Switch the scales off by pressing the on/off button (4).

Inserting/Replacing Batteries
For operating the scales you need three baby cell batteries. When
the batteries are low, the display shows "LOW BAT” (12). When you
see this display, replace the batteries immediately, since exact mea-
surings cannot be guaranteed with low batteries.
For inserting/replacing batteries, proceed as follows:
1. Open the cover of the battery compartment (3) at the bottom of
the scales.
2. Remove the used batteries and replace them by three new batter-
ies of the baby-cell type. Make sure they have the correct polarity
(see illustration in the battery compartment).
3. Close the battery compartment.
Keep batteries out of reach of children
Always make sure the batteries are inserted in the
correct polarity. Batteries inserted in the wrong way
can destroy the scales. Any claims for warranty will
be voided in this case.
If you intend not to use the scales for a certain time,
remove the batteries and keep them separately,
leaking battery acid might destroy your scales.
Do not leave batteries littered because children or
pets might swallow them. Leaky or damaged batter-
ies might cause cauterization when in contact with
the skin.
