Before using the scale
Thank you for purchasing this high precision electronic weighing scale. In order to use the scale
properly, please read this User Manual carefully before use. If you have any problem with scale,
please contact your supplier.
Instruction for use
1) Please keep the scale in a cool dry place. Do not store it at high temperature.
2) Do not allow any small life to stay in the scale.
3) Avoid impact and overload (less than max. load).
4) Clean it and store in dry conditions when it is not in usage.
Preparing to use the scale
1. Avoid operating the scale in direct sunlight or drafts of any kind.
2. If possible avoid connecting the scale to ac power outlet sockets which are adjacent to other
appliances to minimize the possibility of interference.
3. Remove any weight that might be on the fork before the scale is switched on and avoid leaving
weight on the fork for a long time.
4. All goods weighed should be placed in the centre of the fork. The overall dimensions of the
goods being weighed should not exceed the dimension of the fork.
5. Once the scale is powered on, it will go through a display test and it is ready for use when the
display displays zero.
6. The scale requires about 15 minutes warm up before operation.
7. Please note when the battery symbol keeps on the screen and it buzzes, the batteries need to
be charged.

1.4 Operating the scale
1.4.1 Introduction of Power on and Power off
Turn on the switch at the back of the indicator and indicator turns to self-checking mode.
When power on, if loading weight on the scale deviates from the zero point, but still within
zero set range, the indicator will set zero automatically and enter weighing mode.
Turn off the power and battery will stop working. If indicator is power on and in auto off mode,
it will turn off automatically after 10minutes’ rest. But battery is still at work and will be out of
work after turning off the indicator manually.
If indicator’s voltage is lower than 5.8V, it cannot work normally. The screen will display
“—LO—“and buzzer will sing to remind the user to charge. If Voltage is lower than 5.6V, the
indicator will turn off automatically.
