3.4 LOCATING AND PROTECTING YOUR BALANCE
In order to keep your balance functioning at its best we suggest that you do the
following:
Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in
direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents.
Make sure the balance is located on a strong table
and free from vibration.
Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large
users of electricity such as welding equipment or
large motors. Do not let the balance battery go flat –
if you are not using it for a long time you should
charge the battery up periodically to make sure the
battery does not lose its charge.
Keep free from vibration. Do not place near heavy or
vibrating machinery.
Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation.
Keep away from direct contact with water. Do not
spray or immerse the balance in water.
Do not place near open windows, air-conditioning
vents or fans that may cause a draft and unstable
readings.
Keep the balance clean. Do not stack material on the
balance / balance pan when it is not in use. The
Highland has a stacking feature for stacking more
than one unit on top of each other which does not
apply weight to the pan. For more details on this see
the section on storing.

3.5 STORING WHEN NOT IN USE
If you have any of the HighlandTM series or Core BalanceTM lines you can store them
easily on top of each other. To save space and protect them from damage.
Without Shield With Shield
Note: Only models equipped with a ø 4.7” / 120mm pan, can be stacked for storage.
Core models with the larger ø 5.7” / 145mm may be stacked at the top of the pile
but other balances should NOT be stacked on top of them due to the larger pan size.

4.0 BASIC OPERATION
4.1 TURNING ON THE BALANCE
Plug in the unit using the AC adapter or use the internal rechargeable battery. It is
recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours before first use.
1) To turn on press the [on/off] key once and release. The balance will show the
software revision and the capacity then self-test before showing zero on the
display and the stable sign.
2) The balance is ready to be used.
3) To turn the balance off after use press the [on/off] key again. There is an auto
power-off function that will automatically turn the unit off if not used for a
period of time, this can be set in the parameters section.
If an error is shown while turning on the balance check the internal calibration
weight has not been left in the calibrate position. Move the lever all the way to the
left. Turn off the balance and turn it back on again.
4.2 ZEROING / TARE
You can press the [Tare] key to set a new zero point and show the zero reading if
the weight reading is less than 4% of the total of the maximum capacity of the
balance. This may be necessary if the weight reading is not reading zero with
nothing on the pan. The zero indicator will show up in the upper left corner of the
LCD.
If you are using a container to weigh then you can place this on the platform and
press the [Tare] key. Providing the container weight is more than 4% of the
maximum capacity of the balance, the digits will show zero and NET will light up on
the display. You can then weigh your sample in the container. Taring weight
subtracts from the total balance capacity.
Note: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown
equivalent to the total value of the amount tared. The balance will
not tare a value for a container unless the stability light indicates that
the weight is stable thus ensuring a correct taring function.
