2.3 Selecting the Location
Operate the scale on a firm, level surface. Avoid locations with rapid 
temperature changes, excessive air currents, vibrations, electromagnetic 
fields, heat or direct sunlight. 
2.4 Leveling the Scale
Adjust the leveling feet until the bubble is centered in the circle of the level 
indicator (located on the rear). Ensure that the scale is level each time its 
location is changed. 
2.5 Connecting Power
2.5.1 AC Power 
Verify that the intended AC power source matches the AC adapter rating. 
Connect the adapter to the power receptacle underneath and to the rear of the 
scale, then plug the AC adapter into a properly grounded power outlet. 
2.5.2 Battery Power 
This scale can operate with six D-size standard alkaline batteries (not 
included). To install, unplug the scale first from the power supply. Open the 
battery cover (located at the bottom of the scale) by twisting the two tabs 90˚ 
before pulling out to disengage the cover. Install the batteries as illustrated 
on the battery holder. Re-attach the cover by inserting the tabs back into 
position, then twist to lock in place. 
If AC power is disconnected, the scale will automatically switch to battery 
power. 
 
Dispose of the batteries according to local laws and regulations.
