Put the weighing item on platter，wait for the weight reading to be stable, press

the M+ key，the window will show ACC n，n being the number of times a count

operation had been performed.

3. 3. 3 Account operation
After do accumulate operate, you can press Account key, WEIGHT window
will show the summed price, key in paid money by keyboard, this will show on
Unit Price window, and the Total Price window will show the return value.

Press Tare key to return normal weighing mode and clear memory, if you don’t

want clear memory, press Zero key to return normal weighing mode.
Note: if you haven’t do accumulate operation, you also can use Account
function, the summed price is current total price.

3. 4 UNIT PRICE MEMORY
ATP/ASP/QTP/QSP can store 10 sets unit price.

3. 4. 1 Save the unit price
Hold the PLU key for 3 seconds after you key in the unit price, it will show “PS

0~9” , press numeric key 0~9 to select which memory location you want to use.

After you do, the unit price is stored in the ATP/ASP/QTP/QSP.

SECTION 6 BATTERY OPERATION

The scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life is
approximately 100 hours.

When the battery needs charging the arrow above the low battery symbol under the
weight display will turn on. The battery should be charged as soon as the arrow
above the symbol is on. The scale will still operate for about 10 hours after which it
will automatically switch off to protect the battery.

To charge the battery simply plug into the mains power. The scale does not need to
be turned on.

The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.

Just under the quantity display is an LED to indicate the status of battery charging.
When the scale is plugged into the mains power the internal battery will be charged.
If the LED is green the battery has a full charge. If it is Red the battery is nearly
discharged and yellow indicates the battery is being charged.

As the battery is used it may fail to hold a full charge. If the battery life becomes
unacceptable then contact your distributor or Adam Equipment.

Note: new batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can use your scale,
you need to install and charge the battery, as indicated by the following instructions.
Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.

Battery performance depends on many factors, including
your backlight setting and operate.

Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting
can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen)
causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the
battery (metal strips on the battery) for example when

!

ATP/ASP/QTP/QSP Price Computing Scale User’s Guide

- 12 -

you carry a spare battery in your pocket. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage
the battery or the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as
household waste.
Avoid charging under airless conditions

To maximize your battery’s performance:

• Always use TSCALE Original batteries and AC adapter. The scale warranty does

not cover damage caused from using non-TSCALE batteries and/or battery chargers.

• The rating of AC adapter output is 9V, but normal output range will be 11V~15V

• New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods of time may

require a longer charge time.

• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when charging.

• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C

(113°F).

• Over extended periods of time, batteries gradually wear down and require longer

charging times.

This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and notice a decrease in operate
time or an increase in charging time, then it is probably time to purchase a new
battery.
