MyWeigh DuraScale User Manual

DuraScale Manual & Advanced Programming

"I tried using my scale for the first time yesterday. The display would only show the A.ch.Er error. Pulling

up on the tray as described in the user manual's A.ch.Er User Repair section provided no change. I was

able to locate the "For advanced user repair of Durascale 100 V2 ONLY" section on your website. I was

unsure of my scale's version but decided to give these instructions a try. Everything appears to function

properly since. I simply wanted to thank you for providing the necessary information on your website. I
certainly appreciate it. David B. "

Low Batteries & bad battery connections are the #1 cause of scale malfunction and inaccuracy! We
test all of our scale returns from consumers. Fully 60% of consumer returns are battery related
problems. This sounds silly but it's true! A scale will perform slowly, or read inaccurately when it has low
batteries.Please replace the batteries often (and only use good qualitybatteries). We include good
quality batteries with all of our scalesbut batteries can run low in storage. If your scale simply won't turn
on while on Battery power, this is often caused by loose battery connections. Battery prongs (terminals)
are made of metal. They must be making good contact with your batteries in order for the scale to
power on. You can use a paperclip to slightly bend the battery prongs to make them have a better
connection. Also some poorly designed batteries have recessed or partially obstructed battery
terminals. This may cause your prongs to be touching the plastic housing of the battery instead of the
metal battery terminal.

Thank you for purchasing The DuraScale 100 or 50. With normal care and proper treatment it will
provide years of reliable service. Please read all operating instructions carefully. Although this manual
was current at the time of printing, we often update our user manuals and provide operation tips and
guidance on our website.

recalibration, if this does not work please see at the bottom of this page for more instructions.

KEEP THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN MIND:

* The tray of the scale can also be used as a weighing cup or bowl. Simply turn it upside down and place
it on the weighing platform.

* Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold, your scale works best when operated at normal room
temperature. Always allow the unit to acclimate to a normal room temperature for at least one hour
before use.

* Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale On and wait several seconds to give the internal
components a chance to stabilize before weighing.

* The cleaner the environment the better. Dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents and proximity to
other electronic equipment can all cause an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
Only use on a stable, vibration free surface

* Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto tray top. Although this scale is designed to
be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the internal sensor and
void your warranty.

* Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the scale. This is a precision instrument and MUST BE
HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE.

*IMPORTANT ADVICE: Place the item to be weighed on the platform, after the stable weight is

displayed remove the item immediately. This will prolong the longevity and accuracy of this weighing
instrument.

.** These electronic scale are precision instruments. Do not operate near an in-use cell phone, cordless
phone, radio, computer or other electronic device. These devices emit RF and can cause unstable scale
readings. If your scale ever performs poorly, try moving the scale to a different room or location. This is
a very precise scale - the display may seem to wander or jump when weighing. This is due to air currents
or vibrations. Stable weighing is achieved when the display remains fixed for 3 seconds.

FEATURE_______________________________________________

* Power Up Segment Test & Stabilization

When first turning the unit on, the segments of the display will appear as shown below. This display will
remain for approximately 5 seconds and then reset to 0.
OPERATION____________________________________________________

When all segments flash on the display, this indicates the batteries are low

Battery Replacement:

DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE & DO NOT PRESS ON THE TRAY!!!

1) Four "AAA" size alkaline batteries are required.

2) To install batteries:

a) Release both battery covers by holding the tab and pulling out-wards.

b) Place batteries into battery compartment aligned correctly.

c) Replace battery cover.

3) The scale is now ready for battery operation.

(Advanced users only) CALIBRATION

NOTE: These instructions are for the 2000-2005 models only.

If you have a 2006 or later Durascale DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW - Please see the
2006/7 Instructions at the bottom of this page

Only use the instructions that came with your scale. For a copy please contact us.

IMPORTANT: This scale was professionally factory calibrated before shipment and does NOT need to be
recalibrated by the end user. However, if you wish to recalibrate your scale we provide these
instructions for calibration: Repeat calibration if the scale performs inaccurately. Incorrect calibration
can occur if you do not follow the steps exactly. You will need a 50gram weight or set of weights to
calibrate this scale (included in the box).

DURASCALE 50 Easy Calibration:

There are two models of the Durascale. The older Durascales need to begin calibration with the scale
turned OFF. The newer Durascales need to begin calibration with the scale turned ON

*Start with the scale powered off or on as per above and nothing on the weighing platform.

1) press and hold both the ‘ON/OFF’ and ‘TARE’ keys until ‘CAL-0’ shows on the display
