Setup
1. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the balance from its packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of damage. Ensure all accessories, including the power adapter and calibration weights, are present.
2. Placement and Leveling
Place the balance on a stable, level surface free from vibrations, drafts, and direct sunlight. Use the adjustable leveling feet at the bottom of the unit to ensure the built-in bubble level indicates a perfectly level position.
Adjust the four screws on the bottom to ensure the scale is placed steadily and level.
3. Power Connection
Connect the provided AC power adapter to the balance's adapter interface and plug it into a suitable power outlet. The balance can also operate on batteries (not included). Please refer to the detailed user instructions for battery model and installation method.

Operation
1. Basic Weighing
- Power On/Off: Press the ON/OFF button to turn the balance on or off.
- Zeroing/Taring: Place an empty container on the weighing pan. Press the TARE/CAL button (short press) to zero out the weight of the container. The display will show "0.00" or "0.000" depending on the precision.

3. Counting Function
To use the counting function, short press the PCS/UNIT button. Follow the on-screen prompts to set the sample quantity (e.g., 10, 20, 50, 100 pieces) and then place the bulk items on the pan for counting.

4. Calibration
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your balance. Calibration weights are included in the package.
- Ensure the scale is placed stably and level.
- Press and hold the TARE/CAL button until the display shows "CAL".
- When the balance displays a twinkling weight, place the suitable calibration weight (e.g., 500g) on the pan. The balance will automatically recognize and calibrate the current weight.
- Wait approximately 3 seconds; the number will stop flashing. Remove the calibration weight. The display will show "0.00" (or "0.000"), indicating that calibration is complete. If the balance is not reset to zero, repeat the operation.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean the balance, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. The stainless steel weighing pan can be removed for easier cleaning.
2. Storage
When not in use, store the balance in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Ensure the weighing pan is clean and free of debris.
3. Regular Checks
Periodically check the leveling of the balance and recalibrate as needed, especially if the balance has been moved or if accuracy is critical for your application.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate readings | Not level, needs calibration, unstable surface, drafts. | Adjust leveling feet, perform calibration, place on stable surface, avoid drafts. |
| Display shows "EEEE" or "OUEr" | Overload. | Remove excess weight from the pan. Do not exceed maximum capacity. |
| Display is blank or flickering | Power issue, low battery. | Check power adapter connection, replace batteries if applicable. |
| Cannot switch units or modes | Incorrect button press duration, software glitch. | Ensure correct long/short press duration. Turn off and restart the balance. |
