4. CAUTION

4-1. Precautions for Installing the Scale

‰ Ground the scale so that the user will not be subjected an electric shock.

‰ Do not handle the main power cord with wet hands.

‰ The AC plug is not water-resistant. Install it in an area where it does not get wet. ‰ Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.

‰Do not install the scale under water.

‰Do not pull, fold or arrange cables forcibly.

Consider following conditions to get the most from your scale.

‰Install the scale where the temperature and relative humidity is stable. There is no draft and a stable power source is available.

‰Install the scale on a solid and level surface.

‰Do not install the scale in direct sunlight.

‰Do not install the scale near heaters or air conditioners.

‰Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.

‰Do not install the scale near equipment which produces magnetic fields.

‰Do not install the scale in a place where it is apt to be chraged with static electricity, or where the relative humidity is lower than 45% RH. Plastic and isolators are apt to be charged with static electricity.

‰Do not use an unstable power source.

4-2. Precautions for Operating the Scale

‰Periodically ensure that the weighing value is correct.

‰Calibrate the scale periodically to keep weighing accuracy (See “10. CALIBRATION”).

‰Calibrate the scale when you move it to another location.

‰Do not place anything on the pan that is heavier than the weighing capacity.

‰Do not apply a shock load to the scale.

‰Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil or ball-point pen to press the keys.

‰Make sure that the STABLE annunciator is ON whenever reading or storing a value.

‰ We recommend you to press the ZERO or TARE key before each weighing to prevent possible error.

4-3. Precautions for Storing the Scale

‰Do not disassemble the scale.

‰Do not use solvents to clean the scale.

‰For best cleaning of the display pod, wipe with a lint free cloth that is dry or moistened with warm water and mild detergent.

‰The base unit is can be cleaned with gentle water jet and brushing. Dry the unit well before use.

‰Do not use a powerful water jet.
