3. Setup
Battery Installation
The Dr.meter IC-HS02 scale requires one CR2032 lithium button battery. Ensure the battery is installed correctly for the device to function.

4. Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
- Power On: Press the Z/T button once to turn on the scale. The display will show "8888" and then "0.00" or "0.0".
- Auto Off: The scale will automatically shut down after 60 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery.
- Manual Off: Press and hold the Z/T button for 2 seconds to manually turn off the scale.
Unit Conversion
With the scale powered on, press the UNIT button to cycle through the available measurement units:
- Weight: Kilograms (kg) → Pounds (lb)
- Temperature: Celsius (°C) → Fahrenheit (°F)
Weighing Procedure
- Turn on the scale by pressing the Z/T button.
- Ensure the desired unit (kg or lb) is selected using the UNIT button.
- Pass the braided belt through the handle of your luggage or item and fix the hook onto the triangular ring of the strap.
- Lift the scale by its handle, holding it steady and balanced. For items up to 30 lbs, one hand is sufficient. For items between 30-110 lbs, use both hands for stability.
- Wait for the display to stabilize. The reading will lock, indicated by an "H" symbol, and then you can read the weight.
Tare Function
The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so you only measure the contents.
- Turn on the scale and attach the empty container (e.g., a basket) to the strap.
- Lift the scale and wait for the weight of the container to display and stabilize.
- Press the Z/T button. The display will reset to "0.00" (or "0.0"), and a "T" symbol will appear, indicating tare mode.
- Add the items you wish to weigh into the container. The display will show the net weight of the items.
Temperature Measurement
The scale also includes a temperature sensor. After turning on the scale, press the UNIT button repeatedly until the temperature is displayed in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
5. Warnings and Indicators
- "Lo" Indicator: This symbol appears on the display when the battery power is low. Replace the CR2032 battery promptly to ensure continued operation.
- "Err" Indicator: This symbol indicates that the measured weight exceeds the maximum capacity of the scale (110 lbs / 50 kg). Remove some weight to avoid damage to the scale.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. If not in use for an extended period, consider removing the battery to prevent leakage.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the scale or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this may affect its accuracy.
