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.
