3. Scale use
3.1 General instructions
3.1.1 If the battery needs charging, the [LOW BATTERY] indication will light up. Charge the battery.
3.1.2 Before you start using the scale, check if the bubble is in the middle of the level. If it is not in the middle then adjust the scale so that it is in the middle of the level.
3.1.3 For best results, give the scale sufficient warm-up time before using it.
3.2 Basic functions
3.2.1 Zeroing. In case there is no object on the scale and yet the display does not read zero, then zero the scale by pressing the [ZERO] key.
3.2.2 Weighing. Make sure that the scale is zeroed and that the [ZERO] indication is displayed. Place the item you wish to weigh on the weighing platform and the display will show the total weight of the item weighed.
3.2.3 Tare. Place the container you want to fill with products and press the [TARE] key. Doing so will subtract the weight of the container from the total weight.
3.2.4 Overload notification. Do not place a load on the scale that exceeds its weighing capacity. The device emits a characteristic ‘’beep’’ sound when overloaded, alerting the user that items must be removed from the scale. If the load on the scale is not reduced in time, the load cells of the device may be damaged.
3.2.5 Setting the value. To set the value, use the keypad after you have placed the object on the weighing platform. The scale will display the total value.
3.3 Accumulation function
3.3.1 Preparation
Before accumulating values, ensure that there is no load on the platform and that the display reads zero.
3.3.2 Accumulation
Place the object to be weighed on the scale and wait until the weight reading has stabilized. By pressing the [ADD] key, the [ADD n] indication will appear on the screen, where [n] is the amount of times this procedure has been repeated. The total value will only be displayed if you have entered a value for all products. Place an item on the scale and let the reading stabilize. Once the reading has stabilized, press the [ADD] key. The price and weight of the product has now been stored. Remove the first product from the scale and place the next one. Weigh normally and press the [ADD] key again after you have set the value first. The display will show the [ADD 2] indication and will also display the total weight and total value for these two products. You can repeat this procedure consecutively a total of 99 times.
3.3.3 Clear the accumulated value. You can cancel the accumulation process and clear the accumulated value by pressing the [C] key.
3.4 Saving the price.
The scale can store up to 8 different prices.
3.4.1 Store the price
Press the [STORE] key and then enter the desired price using the numeric keypad. Press the [M*] key (*=1 to 8) and the value will be stored in the corresponding [M] slot. If there is already another value stored in that slot then it will be overwritten with the one you just added.
3.4.2 Load the price from a memory slot
If you want to use the value stored in one of the 8 [M) slots while weighing, simply press the desired [M] key once the weight reading has stabilized. The value will be loaded and displayed on the value display.
4. Precautions
Battery
The battery must be properly charged after each use of the scale with battery power. It is generally recommended to charge for 1.2 hours for every 1 hour of use of the scale. If the battery is not used frequently, then charge it continuously for at least 24 hours. Observe the correct polarity when connecting the battery. Make sure the battery is connected correctly before using the device.
