3.1 Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

3.2 Calibration

For accurate measurements, it is crucial to calibrate the scale regularly, especially after initial setup or if the scale has been moved.

1. Place the scale on a stable, level surface, free from vibrations or drafts.
2. Press the POWER button to turn on the scale.
3. Wait for the display to show "0.00" or "0.000".
4. Press and hold the CAL (Calibration) button until "CAL" appears on the display.
5. Release the CAL button. The display will then show the required calibration weight (e.g., "100.00" for 100g or "1000.0" for 1000 grains, depending on the model's specific calibration weight).
6. Carefully place the provided calibration weight onto the center of the weighing platform.
7. The display will show "PASS" or "CAL OK" and then return to "0.00" or "0.000". This indicates successful calibration.
8. Remove the calibration weight from the platform.

• To turn off the scale, press and hold the POWER button until the display turns off. The scale also features an auto shut-off function to conserve battery life.

4.2 Tare Function

The Tare function allows you to zero out the weight of a container or pan before adding the substance to be weighed.

1. Place the empty funnel pan or container onto the weighing platform.
2. Press the TARE (T) button. The display will reset to "0.00" or "0.000".
3. You can now add your powder or other material to the pan, and the display will show only the weight of the added substance.

4.3 Unit Conversion (Grams/Grains)

The scale can measure in both grams and grains.

• To switch between measurement units, press the MODE (M) button. The display will cycle through available units (e.g., "g" for grams, "gn" for grains).

4.4 Usage Example: Measuring Powder

1. Ensure the scale is calibrated and placed on a stable surface.
2. Place the Universal Funnel Pan on the weighing platform.
3. Press the TARE (T) button to zero the pan's weight.
4. Using the provided powder scoop, carefully add powder to the funnel pan until the desired weight is displayed.
5. The unique funnel pan design allows for direct pouring of powder charges into a case without needing a separate funnel.
