Operating Instructions

Basic Weighing

1. Turn on the scale. Wait for the display to show "0.00".
2. Place the item(s) to be weighed on the center of the weighing pan.
3. Read the weight displayed on the "WEIGHT" LCD screen.
4. To change units (g/kg/lb), press the UNIT button.

Tare Function

The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so only the net weight of the contents is measured.

1. Place an empty container on the weighing pan.
2. Press the TARE button. The display will reset to "0.00", indicating the container's weight has been tared.
3. Add items to the container. The display will show the net weight of the items.
4. To clear the tare, remove the container and press TARE again.

Counting Function

This scale can count items based on a sample unit weight.

1. Ensure the scale is at zero.
2. Place a known quantity of sample items (e.g., 10, 20, 50, 100 pieces) on the weighing pan.
3. Enter the sample quantity using the numeric keypad (e.g., "10" for 10 pieces).
4. Press the SMPL (Sample) button. The scale will calculate and store the unit weight, and the "TOTAL COUNT(PCS)" display will show the sample quantity.
5. Remove the sample items. The "TOTAL COUNT(PCS)" display should return to zero.
6. Place the items to be counted on the weighing pan. The "TOTAL COUNT(PCS)" display will show the total number of items.

Manual Calibration

Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your scale. This scale features an easy manual calibration mode.

1. Refer to the specific calibration procedure outlined in the full product manual or contact customer support for detailed steps. Typically, this involves entering a calibration mode, placing a known calibration weight, and confirming the reading.
2. Ensure you use certified calibration weights for the best accuracy.
