Page 6: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this manual is to help the user get to know the weight indicator’s various functioning modes, the keys’ functions and the display indications. We advise to carefully follow the instructions for programming the weight indicator; by taking actions not indicated this manual, one could cause the scale to not work properly. - Page 7 INTRODUCTION The crossed-out wheeled bin on the product means that at the product end of life, it must be taken to separate collection or to the reseller when a new equivalent type of equipment is purchased. The adequate differentiated refuse collection in having the product recycled, helps to avoid possible negative effects on the environment and health and supports the recycling of the materials of which the equipment is made.
