Precautions
This scale is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if you handle it
carefully. Here are a few precautions:
1. Always read instructions thoroughly to ensure that you have the full benefit of
all the unit's features.
2. DO NOT immerse unit in water, as doing so will cause damage to internal
components and void the warranty. If you spill liquid on it, dry it immediately
with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3. DO NOT clean the unit with an abrasive or corrosive material. This may scratch
the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuits.
4. DO NOT subject the units to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or
humidity. This may result in malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged
battery and distorted parts.
5. DO NOT operate or store the scale in high temperature or humidity conditions.
The heat or moisture may interfere with the scale's internal components.
6. DO NOT tamper with the unit's internal components. Doing so will invalidate the
warranty on the units and may cause damage. Other than replacing the
batteries, the unit contains no user-serviceable parts.
7. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. To avoid damage to the
unit or the battery, do not store anything on the scale.
8. This scale operates on an A/C adaptor (included) or 4 AA batteries (not
included). Do not dispose of this scale or batteries in fire, as the batteries may
explode or leak. Always replace all batteries at the same time; do not mix old
and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc.) batteries. Remove the batteries if the scale
will not be used for a long period of time.
