Placement: Place the scale on a firm, level, and stable surface to ensure accurate readings.
Operation
Power On/Off: Use the rocker switch on the underside of the scale to turn the unit on or off.
Zeroing the Scale: After powering on, if the display does not show '0.000', press the Zero button to reset the scale to zero. This ensures accurate measurements.
Tare Function: To weigh items in a container without including the container's weight:
- Place the empty container on the weighing platform.
- Press the Tare button. The display will reset to '0.000'.
- Add the items to be weighed into the container. The display will show only the net weight of the items.
Weighing Items: Place the item(s) directly on the stainless steel platform or in a tared container. The weight will be displayed on both the operator and customer screens.

Unit Price Input:
- With an item on the scale, use the numeric keypad (0-9) to enter the desired unit price (e.g., 1.99 for $1.99 per lb/kg).
- The scale will automatically calculate and display the total price based on the weight and entered unit price.
Memory Functions (M1-M4, MC, M+): These buttons allow you to store frequently used unit prices for quick recall. Refer to the keypad for specific memory locations (M1-M4) and functions (MC for Memory Clear, M+ for Memory Plus/Store).
Unit Conversion (kg/lb): Press the Light button to toggle between kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb) display units.

Backlight Control: The Light button also controls the green backlight for the LCD display, enhancing visibility in various lighting conditions.
Maintenance
Cleaning: The stainless steel platform is easy to clean. Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or immersing the scale in water, as this can damage electronic components.
Battery Replacement: When the low power indicator ('Lo') appears on the display, replace all three D-size batteries promptly to ensure continued accurate operation.
Storage: Store the scale in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
No Display / Scale Not Turning On:
- Ensure the rocker power switch on the underside is in the 'ON' position.
- Check that the D-size batteries are correctly installed with proper polarity.
- Replace batteries if they are depleted.
'Lo' Indicator: This indicates low battery power. Replace the D-size batteries.
'O-Ld' Indicator: This indicates the scale is overloaded. Remove items exceeding the maximum capacity of 66 lbs (30 kg).
Inaccurate Readings:
- Ensure the scale is on a flat, stable, and level surface.
- Check for any obstructions under or around the weighing platform.
- Press the Zero button before weighing.
- Avoid placing the scale near strong electromagnetic fields or vibrating equipment.
