Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Battery Installation:

3. Initial Power On: Press the POWER/ZERO button to turn on the scale. The backlit display should illuminate, and the scale will perform a self-test before displaying "0.00" or similar.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off:
   • To turn on, press the POWER/ZERO button.
   • To turn off, press and hold the POWER/ZERO button for a few seconds until the display turns off. The scale may also have an auto-off feature to conserve battery.
2. Changing Units (lb/kg):

   With the scale powered on, press the UNIT button (often combined with another function or a dedicated button) to cycle between pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg). The selected unit will be displayed on the screen.

3. Zeroing/Tare Function:

   If you are using a container or holding device to weigh your catch, attach it to the hook before turning on the scale or after turning it on and pressing the POWER/ZERO button. This will reset the display to zero, effectively subtracting the weight of the container.

4. Weighing a Catch:
   • Ensure the scale is powered on and displaying "0.00".
   • Carefully attach your fish to the hook.
   • Hold the scale steady. The display will show the weight of your catch.
   • Wait for the reading to stabilize before recording the weight.
5. Storing Measurements:

   This scale can store up to eight measurements. After weighing a fish, press the ENTER button to save the current weight. Use the FORWARD and BACK buttons to navigate through the memory slots if needed before saving.

6. Recalling Stored Measurements:

   To view previously stored weights, press the BACK or FORWARD buttons when the scale is not actively weighing. The display will show the stored weights, and may also show totals and averages if available.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
• Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator appears on the display, or if the scale fails to power on, replace the batteries following the instructions in the "Setup" section.
