Matchbox Manual
Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh
Matchbox Series digital pocket scale. Please read all
operating instructions carefully before use. Scales are
precision measuring devices and should always be handled
with proper care. To ensure years of reliable service, keep
these simple tips in mind:
• Do not exceed the scale's maximum capacity. This
scale has integrated overload protection, but any
overload protection has its limits!
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales
perform best at normal room temperature. If
temperatures have changed dramatically, recalibration
may be necessary.
• Allow your scale to warm up for 30-60 seconds before
performing calibration (if available).
• Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt,
and moisture can accumulate on the weighing
sensors and electronics causing inaccuracy or
malfunction.
• Avoid using your scale in close proximity to strong
radio wave emitting devices such as cordless phones.
• Always weigh on a flat and level surface, free from
vibrations and drafts. The corner of a room is usually
the most stable.
• Gently apply all items to be weighed. Do not drop
items onto the weighing platform.
• Avoid dropping your scale. The warranty does not
cover damage due to rough treatment or overload.
• Check the batteries first if you are having any trouble
with your scale. This simple step can remedy most
scale issues.
• Calibration should be checked and adjusted
occasionally as part of routine scale maintenance.
