Remove everything from the weighing platform and press the 

 key to turn the scale on.  The display 

will briefly flash all segments of the LCD.  After approximately five seconds, the display will stop flash

-

ing and automatically set to zero.  Press the 

 key for about three seconds to turn the scale off.

Zero the Scale

If a weight value is displayed when the platform is empty, press the 

 key to zero the scale while the 

weight indication is stable "

".  If the weight offset is greater than the push-button zero range, about 

56 divisions, then the scale will inidicate "

".  If this happens, then turn the scale off and back on 

while the platform is empty to return to a zero indication.

Changing Units

To switch between kilogram, pound, ounce and pound-ounce units; press the 

 and 

 keys at the 

same time.

Checking the Battery Level

The battery status indicator shows the approximate life remaining in the batteries as follows:

 

 

2/3 to full charge remaining.

 

 

1/3 to 2/3 charge remaining.

 

 

Less than 1/3 charge remaining.

 

  Battery charge is too low.  Replace all four "D" batteries observing the polarity markings.

Setup Mode Indicator

If the setup mode indicator (

) is visible in normal weighing mode, then the PPC-300 is not configured 

to be sealed for legal for trade use. Factory parameter 77 must be set to 003 or 004 for all legal for 

trade applications. For instructions on changing the factory parameters, please see section IV Setup in 

the PPC-300 Technical Manual.

Basic Weighing

1.  Begin with nothing on the weighing platform, the display reading zero, 

and the center of zero and stable indicators lit.

2.  Place the items to be weighed on the weighing platform and wait for 

the stable indication.  The weight displayed is the gross weight.
