Getting Started

Storage and Shipping Conditions
– Do not expose the balance to extreme
temperatures, jolts, impacts, vibration or
moisture.
Unpacking the Balance
After unpacking the balance, check it
immediately for any visible damage as
a result of rough handling during
shipment.
$ If this is the case, proceed as directed
in the chapter entitled "Care and
Maintenance," under the section on
"Safety Inspection."
It is a good idea to save the box and
all parts of the packaging until you have
successfully installed your balance. Only
the original packaging provides the best
protection for shipment. Before packing
your balance, unplug all connected
cables to prevent damage.
