5kg x 1g
Thank you for purchasing the AMW-505 Digital Scale. With normal
care and proper treatment, it will provide you with years of reliable
service. Please read all operating instructions carefully before using
the scale.
• Avoid any exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your scale will work
better when operating in normal room temperature. Allways allow the
scale to acclimate to normal room temperature for at least an hour
before use.
• Give the scale sufcient warm up time before use. Usually 30 to 60
seconds to give the internal components time to stablize.
• Keep your scale in a clean environment. Dust, dirt, moisture, vibra-
tion, air currents, or a close proximity to other electronic equipment can
cause an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
• Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto the
weighing surface. Although this scale is designed to be quite durable,
avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the internal
sensor.
• Do not shake, drop, or otherwise shock the scale. This is a precision
instrument and must be handled with extreme care.
• Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free surface.
• Always store in a dry place to avoid moisture accumulation on
internal components.
• Clean the glass surface using a damp cloth. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or submerge in water.
