Sealed to Prevent Un-authorized Modifications
The scale indicator is sealed by a Category 1 Audit Trail. To access the audit trail in the normal weighing mode, press and hold the ON key. This will display the current parameter and calibration event count values. Pressing any key will return the indicator to the weighing mode. The audit trail system is always active and cannot be altered. Audit trails are stored in flash memory and do not require batteries to maintain the audit trail values.
Changing any of the following parameters will change the Calibration event count value or parameter audit event count value. This will void your Legal-for-Trade certification unless performed by properly trained personnel.
