BASIC WEIGHING

To weigh a sample on your scale, use the following procedure:
1. Press the zero key and place the object(s) to be weighed on the pan.
2. Wait for the "OK" symbol, then read the weight from the display.
CONVERTING THE WEIGHING UNITS
To convert from one unit to another, simply press the units key repeatedly. Continue pressing the key
until the units you wish to use are displayed. The order of units is as follows: GRAMS - OUNCES -
POUNDS - TROY OUNCES - PENNYWEIGHTS - CARATS - "x" UNITS (user defined) - GRAMS. To
return to the factory default (grams) press — units. NOTE: The units displayed can be limited to
certain selected units of measure, and can be restricted to as few as one if desired. See Appendix II,
Setup Functions.

WEIGHING WITH A CONTAINER

You can use your scale to weigh objects (or liquids) by placing or pouring them into a container. To
weigh objects or liquids in this manner, WITHOUT including the weight of the container, use the tare
or zero keys. If you wish to retain the container weight for later reference the tare key should be used.
If you do not need to retain the container weight, and do not need to display or print the gross weight,
use the zero key only. To tare out or zero out the weight of a container, and then weigh the contents
placed or poured into it, use the following procedure:
1. Press the zero key. Place the empty container on the pan.
2. Press the tare or zero key. (If the tare weight is known, a full container may be placed on the
pan. In this case, enter the tare weight through the keyboard and then press the tare key.)
3. Wait for the "OK" symbol. Place or pour objects or liquids into the container.
4. Wait for the "OK" symbol, then read the net weight from the display.
NOTE: When you press the tare key, the container weight is stored in memory and the display will
read zero. You must use the tare key, not the zero key, in step #2 to store the container weight
in memory. To recall the stored tare value, press display tare. To clear the stored tare value,
press — tare.
DISPLAYING THE GROSS WEIGHT
To display the gross weight, press display followed by the gross key. To toggle between the gross
weight and the net weight, press the gross key repeatedly. The gross weight will equal the net weight
unless a container weight has been entered using the tare key (see section, Weighing with a Con-
tainer).
