Scale location
Observe the following to get the most out of your scale and weigh correctly.
 Do not install the scale in locations that are subject to dust, draft, vibration,
excessive temperature changes, condensation, or that may have magnetic
fields.
 Install the scale on a solid and level surface.
 Do not install the scale in direct sunlight.
 Do not install the scale near heaters or air conditioners.
 Use a stable AC power source.
 Do not install the scale in a place where flammable or corrosive gases present.
 Allow the scale to reach equilibrium with the ambient temperature before

 Turn the power ON and warm up the scale for at least 30 minutes before use.
 When the scale is installed for the first time, or the scale has been moved,
