LCD SEGMENTS/ICON ILLUSTRATIONS
INITIAL PREPARATION
Place the unit on a dry, flat, and solid ground surface, ensuring the unit is standing stable.
OPERATION
- Press button (5) to turn on the unit.
- LCD will wake up showing all segments lit up. Then will show “0 g“
- Press button (4) to set the weighing unit by kg, gram, lb, or oz.
- Ensure the unit is stable and showing zero weight before using and wipe dry the glass platform to prevent slipping.
- When using a bowl, it is important to center it on the glass platform before turning the unit on.
- You can start weighing now. Always try to place objects at the center of the weighing platform/or in a bowl.
- Wait until the LCD has stabilized. The reading shown on the LCD will indicate the proper weight value of the object you are weighing.
AUTO/0FF, ON/0FF
When you are done using the scale, simply press button (5) to turn off the unit. Or simply leave the unit idle, it will automatically shut down by itself after 2 minutes when no further weighing activity is being performed.
Zero and TARE FUNCTIONS
The zero and tare functions allow you to weigh items consecutively without having to remove the mass already on the platform. For example, if you are using a bowl, these functions allow you to weigh the content of the bowl without counting the weight of the bowl.
- When the sum of all loads on a scale ≤ 4% scale’s max capacity (under 200 g), the LCD will show ‘‘0 g’’ each time Z/T is pressed. Icon ‘‘ ’’ will show on the left corner of the LCD, indicating zero function is active. Max weight capacity is not reduced by a tare amount if less than 200 g.
When the total sum of all loads on the scale is≥ 4% scale’s max capacity (under 200 g), the LCD will show ‘‘0 g’’ each time Z/T is pressed. Icon ‘‘TARE’’ will show on the left corner of the LCD, indicating the tare function is active. Max weight capacity is reduced by a tare amount.
MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, AND PROPER USAGE
