IMPORTANT NOTES
The maximum amount of weight placed into, or
force exerted on to, the spatula scoop should not
exceed 450 grams (15.873 ounces), this will cause
permanent damage to the unit.
To insure accurate weights, do not place material
into the spatula scoop before turning the unit on.
When turning the unit on, if material has already
been placed into the balance scoop, and the weight
of the material is less than 50 grams (1.763 ounces),
the unit will automatically tare the weight and display
zero (see the “Tare Function” sections).
When turning the unit on, if material has already been
placed into the balance scoop, and the weight of the
material is greater than 50 grams (1.763 ounces), the
unit will display OUT2 and turn off. The material
must be removed from the balance scoop prior to
turning the unit on.
The detachable spatula scoop is dishwasher safe.
The handle is not dishwasher safe, to clean, wipe
it with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the handle
in water. Do not clean any part of the Spatula-
Balance™ with corrosive liquids or harsh cleansing
agents or abrasives.
DISPLAY MESSAGES
OUT2 Indicates that the weight must be
removed from the spatula scoop prior
to turning the unit on. If this message
appears and no material is present
in the spatula scoop, this indicates
possible damage to the unit.

being measured exceeds the capacity
of the unit.
UNST Indicates that the unit is not being held
level or steady and the unit is unable to
obtain a proper weight measurement.

ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this unit does not function properly for any reason,
replace the batteries with new high quality batteries
(see the “Battery Replacement” section). Low
battery power can occasionally cause any number
of “apparent” operational diffi culties. Replacing the
batteries with new fresh batteries will solve most
diffi culties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
An erratic display, faint display, no display, or
LO appearing on the display are all indicators
that the batteries need replacement. To replace
the batteries, remove the battery cover screw
(located on the back of the handle). Remove the
battery cover. Remove the exhausted batteries
and replace them with two (2) new AAA alkaline
batteries. Make certain to insert the new batteries
with the proper polarity as indicated by the “+” and
“–” symbols in the battery compartment. Replace
the battery cover. Replace the battery cover screw
and tighten securely.
