III. Power
Low batteries can cause inaccuracy in digital scales. If
you are experiencing issues with your scale, first try new
batteries. Most times, this will solve the problem.
1. Before using the scale for the first time, check
the battery compartment and remove any plastic
insulation strips or packaging that may be in place to
prevent battery drainage during shipping/storage.
2. If you are replacing the batteries, make sure the
positive and negative contacts are properly aligned.
3. Only use the included adapter when plugging the
scale into AC power. (SC-501A & SC-2KGA only)
IV. Operation
1. Place the scale on a flat, level surface and press the
ON/OFF key to turn the scale on.
2. Once the start-up process completes and the scale
goes to zero you are ready to weigh.
3. Place the quantity to be weighed onto the weighing
platform.
4. Wait a couple seconds for the display to stabilize
before taking a weight reading.
5. To turn the scale OFF, press the ON/OFF key again.
V. Changing the Unit of Measure
1. Press the MODE key to change the scales displayed
unit of measure.
