In some cases the rechargeable battery must be shipped separate from the
scale. In this case the user must install the battery.
Remove the battery cover under the scale and put the 6v 4Ah rechargeable
battery provided in to the battery compartment. Connect the battery to the
cable paying attention to the polarity. The red connector goes to the (+)
positive terminal on the battery, the black connector goes to the (-) negative
terminal on the battery.
The power cord or DC adapter provided with the scale is used to charge the
battery. Make certain the power cord/DC adapter matches the voltage of the
location you are using the scale in.
Check the setting of the auto shut off function, see section 6.2. If the auto
shut off function is on, the scale will shut off after a period of time if the scale
is not used and it has a stable reading.
5.2 WEIGHING
•
Press [On/Off] to turn on the scale. The display will show “LBK-1.0 LBK”
and show the current voltage “X.X vol” .Then it will begin it’s self
checking test from 0 to 9. When the reading is stable, the display will
show "0.00", stable symbol, zero symbol, and the weighing unit used
the last time the scale was used.
Check if the reading is “0.00”, if not, press [Zero]. “0.00” and the zero
symbol will be displayed.
•
Put the item to be weighed on the pan. When the reading is stable, the
net weight will be shown.
•
If a container is used, put the container on the pan and press [Tare] key
when the reading is stable. The display will show “0.00” and the zero
symbol and net weight symbol.
When using the pounds/ounces weighing unit the display will show the results
rounded to the nearest ounce.

5.4 USER FUNCTIONS
The parts counting, percent weighing and calibration functions can be accessed
using the [Func] key, if the functions have been enabled as described in section 6.

•
Press [Zero] key once the stability indicator comes on to confirm the
entered value. The display will show the number of pieces placed on
the pan.
•
If more items are put on the pan, the increased count value will be
shown.
If a container is used, place the empty container on the pan before
entering parts counting mode then press [Tare] key to remove the
weight of the empty container. Then press [Func] key to go to parts
counting mode and select the preset sample piece value and add the
items to the container as selected and press [Zero] key.
•
Press [Func] to exit and go back to the normal weighing mode.
5.4.2 PERCENTAGE WEIGHING
•
In the weighing mode, press [Func] key twice to access the percentage
weighing mode, the display will show “PER”.
•
Press [Zero] key to set the reference sample value, the display will
show “SE ”.
•
Place the item to be set at 100% on the pan, and press [Zero] Key
when the stability indicator comes on.
•
The display will show “100.0%”.
•
When another item with a different weight value is put on the pan, the
relative % value would be shown against the initial reference sample
value.
•
Press [Func] key to exit and go back to weighing mode.
Hold [Tare] and press [On/Off] to turn the scale on.
•
The display will show “LBK-1.0 LBK” and then enter the auto shut off
mode.
•
The display will show “OFF PWR” or “XX PWR” (XX is the number of
minutes before the scale would shut off automatically if it has remained
stable for the set amount of time).
•
Release the [Tare] key.
6.2 SETTING OF AUTO SHUT OFF FUNCTION
•
Press [Tare] to change the setting of the function.
•
“OFF PWR” means that the function is disabled.
•
“XX PWR” means that the auto off function is on. XX is the time before
the scale will shut off automatically. The number is in minutes.
•
To continue to other function settings, press [Unit] to confirm the
current setting and show the next mode.
•
The display will then show “OFF bL”, “On bL”, or “AuTo bL” these are the
backlight function settings.
6.3 BACKLIGHT SETTING MODE
•
Press the [Tare] key to change the state of backlight.
•
“OFF BL”: the backlight is off all the time.
•
“AuTo bL”: auto backlight, backlight will come on if the display moves off
of zero.
•
“On bL”: backlight will be on all the time.
•
Press [Unit] to confirm and move to the next setting.
•
When you enter the unit setting mode, it will show “On PEr” or “OFF PEr”.
Press [Tare] to switch on or off the part counting function.
•
"OFF PCS" :part counting function is off.
•
"ON PCS" : part counting function is on.
•
Press [Unit] key to confirm the setting and look through the next
setting. It would enter the percentage weighing when it shows "On PEr " or "OFF PEr".

Calibration is recommended for best accuracy. It is suggested that the
scale be calibrated when first installed and any time the scale is moved
to a different environment.
•
To ensure best accuracy calibrate before use.
•
Ensure weights are ready before calibrating, the weight should be of a
known accuracy, for example OIML class M1 or Class 4 of ASTM E617.
•
Do not calibrate the scale if no calibration weight is available.
•
Calibration can only be accessed if the Calibration function has been
enabled as described in section 6.0.

display will show “Pin” .
•
To enter the access code press the [Func] key, [Unit] key and[Tare] key
in sequence, then press the [Zero] key to confirm the pin code.
•
The display will show the weighing unit last used to calibrate the scale,
“S-Unit kg”(or ”S-Unit Lb”) ,press [Unit] key to change to lb’s or kg’s for
the calibration weighing unit value.
•
Press [Zero] key to start the zero calibration. The display will show “CAL
0” and when the stable symbol is displayed press [Zero] key to confirm.
•
The display will now show the calibration mass expected. ”CAL XX Kg “
or ”CAL XX Lb “ .Press [Tare] key to change the calibration values if
necessary. Each model has 3 different kg and lb calibration selection
values.
Press [Zero] key, the display will show “Load” then add the selected
calibration mass value to the pan.
•
After the calibration mass is added, wait for the stable symbol to come
on and then press [Zero] key, the display will show “PASS”, and then
return to normal weighing after 3 seconds.
•
If it is outside of the previous calibration value by more than 5% ,it will
show “FAIL L” or “FAIL H” indicating the new calibration weight was too
low(FAIL L) or too high (FAIL H) in respect to the previous calibration
value.
