5. Operating Instructions

The MAXUS Digital Gram Scale features three primary buttons: T (Tare), M (Mode/Unit), and Power (On/Off/Calibration).

Image Description: A MAXUS Digital Gram Scale is shown with its lid open, revealing a diagram on the inside of the lid. The diagram illustrates three main functions: Weighing, Taring, and Calibration, each with numbered steps and small graphical representations. The scale itself has a silver weighing platform, a digital display showing "0.0g", "Capacity: 1000g", and "Readability: 0.1g", and three buttons labeled 'T', 'M', and a power symbol. A 100g cylindrical calibration weight is placed next to the scale.

5.1 Weighing

1. Press the Power key to turn the scale on.
2. If the display does not show "0.0", press the T (Tare) key to zero the scale.
3. If necessary, press the M (Mode) key to change the weighing unit (e.g., grams, ounces, carats, grains, etc. - specific units not detailed in OCR, but implied by 'M' button).
4. Gently place the item to be weighed on the center of the weighing platform. The display will show the weight.

5.2 Taring (Zeroing a Container)

1. Place an empty container on the weighing platform.
2. Press the T (Tare) key. The display will reset to "0.0", effectively subtracting the container's weight.
3. Add item(s) into the container. The display will now show only the net weight of the contents.

5.3 Unit Conversion

With the scale on, press the M (Mode) key repeatedly to cycle through the available weighing units (e.g., g, oz, ct, gn). The current unit will be displayed on the screen.

6. Calibration

Calibration ensures the accuracy of your scale. It is recommended to calibrate your scale regularly or if you suspect inaccurate readings. Use the provided 100g calibration weight.

1. Turn the scale on and ensure it is on a stable surface.
2. Press and hold the M (Mode) key until the display shows "CAL", then release the button.
3. Press the M (Mode) key again. The display will flash the required calibration weight (e.g., "100.0g").
4. Gently place the required calibration weight (100g) on the center of the weighing platform.
5. Wait for a few seconds. The display will show "PASS" when the calibration is successfully completed. Remove the weight.

7. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure no liquid enters the scale's interior.
• Storage: Store the scale in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. Avoid placing heavy objects on the scale when not in use.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display (often "Lo"). Remove batteries if the scale will not be used for an extended period.
