AUTO OFF:
This unit comes with an auto-off feature to conserve battery power. The scale
will automatically turn off after approximately 4 minutes of inactivity.
CAUT ION:
Do not place more than the capacity of the scale on the weighing platform.
Excessive weight will overload the scale and cause the display to read E (error)
Abuse of this type can cause damage to the scale and void the warranty.
This scale is a sensitive electronic instrument. Avoid vibrations, strong electrical
or magnetic elds, and rapid changes in humidity or temperature as they can
adversely affect accuracy.
CARE AND MA INTENANCE:
•Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. To achieve optimum functioning,
allow this unit to acclimatize.
•Allow scale a minimum of thirty seconds to warm up before calibration to allow
internal components to stabilize.
•Keep this product clean. Dust, dirt, and moisture can adversely affect the reliability
and accuracy of this scale.
•Vibrations, air currents and proximity to other electronic equipment may affect
accuracy of this product. Avoid disturbing the environmental conditions when
weighing. Be sure weighing is done with scale on a at surface in a sheltered area.
•Handle with care. Although this product is durable, rough treatment may permanently
damage the internal sensor.
•Remember to replace batteries regularly.
