Operating the Scale
Basic Weighing Function
Available Features
–Taring the scale
You can tare the scale within the entire weighing range.
Preparation
•Turn on the scale: Press [ON/OFF]
•To change configurations: See the chapter entitled “Configuring the Scale”
•To load
See “Configuring the Scale,” parameter 9
$ To tare the scale: Press t
Additional Functions
•To turn off the scale: Press [ON/OFF]
Warmup Time
To deliver exact results, the scale must warm up for
at least 30 minutes after initial connection to AC power. Only after this time will the scale have reached the required operating temperature.

Calibration/Adjustment*
Always calibrate/adjust the scale after setting it up in a new location.
Available Features
Calibration/adjustment can only be performed when
–there is no load on the scale,
–the scale is tared,
–the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed.
Example
Calibrate the scale

|
|
| After calibration, the |

*“Calibration” technically means to determine the difference between the scale readout and the actual weight on the pan to determine
the accuracy. Adjustment means to bring a scale into the state of accuracy required for its use. Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual, actually means “adjustment.”
