Taring does not increase the weighing range.

9 Measured value

After the displayed reading has stabilised, the "hold" indicator flashes six times. As soon as "hold"
stops flashing, the reading is held for another 6 seconds if the weight changes by more than 5 g.

Note:

This function cannot be disabled.

10 Calibration

To perform a calibration, press and hold the unit key while the scales are switched on until the
scales’ weighing range is briefly displayed once. You can then select the calibration weight. To
do this, press the tare key. You can choose 5,000 g or 10,000 g. Then press the unit key. “CAL"
briefly appears on the display. The set weight is then displayed flashing. Now place the set weight
on the weighing cell. After a few seconds, "PASS" is shown on the display if the calibration was
successful.

Note:
If you wish to cancel the calibration or if an error has occurred, you can cancel the calibration at
any time by switching off the scales.

12 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European
Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as
household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re­use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance
with your local waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
