Digital Postal Scale

Your new Digital Postal Scale weighs items up to five pounds (2.2 kg) in 0.1 ounce (1 g) increments. This User Guide provides instructions for using the scale.

Unpacking the Scale
The scale is shipped with a protective ring under the scale platform. You must remove this ring before using the scale.

2.  Set the scale on a firm, flat surface.
3.  Remove the protective ring from under the scale platform.

Inserting the Battery
The scale uses one 9-volt alkaline battery.

To insert the battery

1.  Turn the scale over.
2.  Remove the battery compartment cover.
3.  Insert a 9-volt battery into the battery
   compartment as shown.
4.  Make sure to insert the battery correctly. Inserting the battery backwards can damage
   the scale and cause smoke or burning.
5.  Replace the battery compartment cover.
   Remove the battery if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.

Turning On the Power
The scale has an Auto Shut Off feature which turns the scale off automatically after thirty seconds of inactivity. You can turn off this Auto Shut Off feature.

Weighing an Item

Always wait for 0.0 to display before placing an item on the scale platform.
After placing an item on the scale, wait for several seconds for the weight to appear. When the scale is ready, a o appears in the upper-left corner of the display.

To weigh an item

•  Place an item on the scale platform.

Using the Tare Feature
You can weigh small items or items that cannot be easily placed on the scale platform by placing the items in a container and using the Tare feature to eliminate the weight of the container. Pressing the ON/TARE button always returns the scale to zero.

To use the Tare feature

1.  Place an empty container on the platform.
2.  When the scale is ready, press the ON/TARE button.
   The display is set to zero.

   The display shows the weight of the items, without the weight of the container.
4.  After removing the container, press the ON/TARE button to reset the scale to zero.

 Changing the Units of Measure

Your scale can display weight in English (pounds) or metric (kilograms) units. The default unit of measure is English.

To change the units of measure

•  Press the oz/g button to toggle between English and metric units.

Caring for the Scale
With proper care and handling, your scale will give you years of service. Keep the following in mind when using your scale:

•  Your scale works best when operated and stored at normal room temperature. Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold.
•  Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free surface.
•  Exposure to dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, and air currents; and proximity to other electronic equipment can affect the   reliability and accuracy of your scale.
•  Using the scale in proximity to wireless devices, such as mobile phones, can cause the scale display to fluctuate when the device   is in use.
•  Although this scale is designed to be quite durable, gently place items to be weighed on the platform. Avoid rough treatment, as   this may permanently damage the internal sensor and void your warranty.
•  You can permanently damage the scale by placing significantly overweight items on the scale platform.
•  Avoid shaking, dropping, or otherwise shocking the scale. This is a precision instrument and
  MUST BE HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE.
•  The scale has been calibrated at the factory and will not need to be calibrated again.
