the display.
2. If necessary, press the ZERO key to obtain a weight reading of zero.
3. Place the empty container on the scale’s platter and allow the weight indication to stabi-
lize.
4. Press the TARE key. The display shows zero weight and turns the NET annunciator on.
5. Place the material to be weighed in the container and allow the weight indication to sta-
bilize.
6. Read the weight shown on the display.
7. You may toggle between the gross weight and the net weight by pressing the
NET/GROSS key.
