Installation Instructions
When choosing a location to set up your
balance/scale, observe the following:
– Avoid placing the balance/scale in
close proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing the balance/scale to heat or
direct sunlight
– Protect the balance/scale from drafts
that come from open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the balance/scale to
extreme vibrations during weighing

Conditioning the Balance/Scale
Moisture in the air can condense on the

place.
If you transfer the balance/scale to
a warmer area, make sure to condition it
for about 2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power.
