SETUP
WARNING! Disconnect all power to the scale
before installing, cleaning or servicing. Failure
to do so could result in bodily harm or damage
to the scale.
SELECTING THE LOCATION
The scale MUST be placed on a stable and level work
surface. Do not place on uneven or wobbly surfaces.
The scale should always be used in an environment that
is free from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration
and temperature or humidity extremes. These factors will
affect displayed weight readings.
Avoid placing the scale next to or near:
• Fans.
• Air conditioning or heat vents.
• Open windows or doors.
• Vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
• Large users of electricity like welding equipment or
large motors.
• Static electricity and equipment that generates
static electricity.
• Magnetic fields and equipment that generates
magnetic fields.
• Direct sunlight.
• Dusty or dirty environments.
• Damp or wet environments.
CAUTION! Scale is not waterproof. Avoid
direct contact with water, high humidity and
condensation. Do not spray or immerse scale
in water. Data may become unstable or scale
may malfunction. Turn power off and allow
scale to dry before reuse.

3. Place the platform on top of the scale.
CAUTION! Do not press down with excessive
force. This could damage the load cell.
LEVELING
The scale is equipped with a level indicator located to
the left of the display.
Use the adjustable leveling feet located on the bottom
of the scale until the bubble appears in the center of

Check leveling indicator every time scale is moved to a
new location to verify scale is balanced.
CONNECTING POWER
The scale can operate continuously by connecting
directly to AC power or can operate 70 hours on a fully
charged battery.
WARNING! Only use the original adapter and
battery that came with the scale. Using an
alternative adapter or battery could damage
the scale.
