The following table covers common problems and suggested solutions: Symptom Likely Cause Solution Power switch is on, but Exhausted battery Recharge battery as per Sec. 5-4. no display comes on.
6-2. Calibration Designed tolerance of weight measurement is +/- 1 gram. For example, if a standard weight of 500 grams is put on the tray, the display should show a figure between ‘ ’ and ‘ ’. Otherwise, the equipment may be subject to calibration by users. Checking accuracy of weight measurement (1) Prepare a known weight of about 500 grams.
6-3. Leveling the Tray Tray leveling is ensured by a magnetic position sensor and precision mechanism. After long use for years, the tray might become unlevel.
