Operating the Balance
Make sure the platter is sitting properly on top of the platform and that
there is nothing on top of the platter. Also, make sure that the balance
is plugged into the proper outlet. Place the power switch into the ON
position. The display will run through a self test and then go to zero.
The balance will always remain in the last mode that it was left in. The
display may appear as follows (
remember that the decimal place and
number of zeros may differ depending on what mode the balance was
last set to and what the balance’s capacity is:
)
This example is the JW-1 300g in lb mode. If all
precautions are followed properly, you will see this
display along with the ZERO and STABLE lamps and the
lb
enunciator.

key. If you start with pound mode (lb) then the mode key will toggle as
