Electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate near cell phones, radios, computers or other electronic devices that emit radio frequencies that may cause unstable readings. Avoid using in heavy vibration or heavy airflow conditions. Specifications Model 18560120 Max Capacity 120 kg / 250 lb Readability 0.02 kg / 0.05 lb...

Remove the scale from the packaging and place it on a work table with the feet facing up. Remove the shipping protection screw.
Indicator Display ZERO- Scale is zeroed and gross weight is 0, tare is 0. TARE - Display reading is net weight; tare is not 0. lb, kg, oz - Unit of measure. Hold - Scale is in dynamic weighing mode. - Hold flashes - actual fluctuating weight is displayed.
3. OPERATIONS Normal Weighing Mode 1. Power on the scale by pressing the ZERO/ON/OFF key. 2. When the display stabilizes, but it doesn’t show zero, press ZERO/ON/OFF to set a new zero point. 3. Place objects on the scale platform and read the weight on the indicator. Note: Objects should be placed at the center of the platform.
4. Calibration Note: (1) Before calibrating the scale, you should prepare standard weights (more than 10% of FS weight) for calibration. (2) In the following steps, pressing ZERO/ON/OFF will exit calibration. 1. Move all weight from the scale. Under normal weighing mode, press and hold TARE and ZERO/ON/OFF keys for more than 4s to enter calibration mode.
5. View ADC Code or Power Voltage code In normal weighing mode, press and hold UNIT/HOLD , TARE and ZERO/ON/OFF keys until “ ” is shown, which means the indicator is working under display inner code mode. In this mode, you can examine the inner working voltage, the stability of weighing system, the variety value of A/D data as per the loaded weight.
2. During setup mode, press the UNIT/HOLD key to change the flashed digits. Press the TARE key to confirm the flashed digits. Press the ZERO/ON/OFF key to exit this mode. 3.
