When using the balance, following safety precautions should always be followed

WARNING

Use the AC adapter designed by the manufacturer for the balance. Other adapters may cause damage to the balance.

CAUTION

•Avoid installing the balance in direct sunlight- this may cause poor performance or malfunctions.

•Do not mix different type of batteries. Replace all the batteries at the same time.

•If the balance is not to be used for a long period of time, remove all batteries from the battery compartment to avoid leakage which may cause damage to the instrument.

•Avoid overloading or dropping material onto the platform as that could damage the balance.

•Do not spill liquids on the balance as it is not water-resistant. Liquids may damage the case and if it gets inside the balance it may cause damage to the electronics.

•Material that has a static electric charge could influence the weighing. Discharge the static electricity of the samples, if possible. Another solution to the problem is to wipe both sides of the pan and the top of the case with an anti-static agent.
