10.4 SELECTING THE UNIT 
 
To select the weighing unit press the 
[Unit] key to move form one unit to
another. The weighing unit must be enabled by the users beforehand 
(see section 13.1.3). If a unit is disabled it cannot be selected by using 
the 
[Unit] key.
 
10.5 WEIGHING 
• When the scale is at zero, place an item to be weighed on
the platform. The display will show the weight in the unit 
selected previously. The weighing result can be viewed in 
other enabled units using the 
[Unit] key.
• If a container is used, this can be tared as described in 10.3.
The scale then shows the net weight of the material added.
