Cautions
This scale is designed to meet IEC IP67 (dustproof/waterproof) standards, but when used in certain
conditions the dustproof/waterproof functionality of the scale cannot be maintained. Additionally, such
conditions may result in damage or malfunctions, and may prevent the scale from measuring
accurately. Be sure to obey the following.
Failure to obey these instructions may prevent the scale from measuring correctly, and may cause
damage to the scale or result in malfunction.
■
Do not use when the battery cover or rubber cap (when the AC adapter is not being used) are removed.
■
Do not allow water that is hotter than 40℃(104℉) or steam to come into contact with this scale.
■
Do not wash this scale in a dishwasher.
■
Do not leave this scale in water.
■
Do not use this scale when it is wet.
■
Do not touch the ventilation filter or the area around the filter.

■
After moving the scale to a location that has more than a 10℃(50℉) temperature difference from the previous
location,leave for at least 2 hours before use.
■
Use near lighting equipment (inverter fluorescent lamp), medical equipment (microwave therapy equipment),
induction cookers, microwave ovens, communication devices (mobile phones, etc.) and other such devices may
cause malfunction due to interference.
■
When powdered substances, etc. are slowly added to the scale when zero is displayed, the display may not
change. In such cases, place a slightly larger amount on the scale and then reduce to the required amount, or
increase the speed at which the substance is placed on the scale.

an air conditioner.
■
Do not expose the scale to excessive shock or vibration.
■
Do not use or store the scale in an extremely hot or cold location, or in a location that experiences extreme
temperature differences.
