operating the scale
After the USB Electronic Scale software has started, it takes about 6 seconds to initialize the Electronic Scale. During the initialization, the System Tray icon flashes. The scale software performs the initialization at program startup and every time the scale is attached to the USB port of the computer.
The scale will automatically reset to zero at startup, NOTE so do not place anything you want to weigh on the
scale during startup.
After initialization, you can use the scale to weigh things. The weight capacity for the scale is 10lb or 5kg. The resolution is 0.1oz and 1g, respectively.
DO NOT exceed the weight capacity of your scale. NOTE If you do, it may damage the scale sensor and
cause permanent damage to the scale.
