D. Press the OFF and MODE keys simultaneously until display shows “CAB”, then release. The scale is now calibrated. The display should read the same as the calibration weight being used.

5.CAUTIONS

a.Never leave a load on the scale for a prolonged period of time as this may damage the loadcell

b.Always place a load gently onto the platform. Dropping the weight on may cause PERMANENT DAMAGE to loadcell.

c.Never try to disassemble the scale, which may PERMANENTLY DAMAGE the mechanism and electronic components. There are no user serviceable parts inside the scale. Maintenance should be done by properly trained technicians.

d.For maximum accuracy, place loads as near to the center of the platform as possible.

e.Do not expose the scale to direct sunlight or store in high humidity. Serious jarring of the scale should be avoided.

If your scale reads “E” or “-EE”

Sometimes an electronic scale can be shifted out of its working range, possibly by a jolt in shipping or transportation. When this occurs, your scale tells you by displaying. “EE” or “-EE”. This can be corrected:

1.Press “OFF” and “TARE” simultaneously. The display will show “In” meaning input. You will be able to input the info needed to get the scale back to its normal function.

2.Press “OFF” and “TARE” simultaneously a second time; a number will appear that will count down, pause for a few seconds, and eventually stop at a final number.

3.Press “TARE” AND the scale will display zero.

4.Place the calibration weight* onto the scale and press “OFF” and “MODE” simultaneously until “CAb” appears on the display. A number will then appear, but not the actual weight of the calibration weight.

5.Remove the calibration weight from the scale and turn off the scale to get out of the input function. The scale now can be turned back on and should be calibrated normally. At this point, you should be back in business.

If this procedure does not work the first time, we suggest you keep trying.
