The TARE key is used to enter a known tare (container) weight via the
numeric keypad. Pressing the TARE key will display zeros or the previously
entered tare (if any) and illuminate the TARE annunciator.
The WEIGHT key is used to place the scale in the weight display mode.
Pressing the WEIGHT key will display the scale weight as indicated by
illumination of either the lb or lb-oz indicator. If a tare was previously entered
via the TARE key, the net weight will be displayed and the NET annunciator
will illuminate. If no tare has been entered, the weight displayed will be gross
weight, and the GROSS annunciator will illuminate.
Pressing the ZERO key with weight on the scale, will set the gross weight to
zero, and clear the tare weight, if any. If the display is in count mode, the
count will be set to zero.
The NUMERIC KEYS are used to enter numeric values required in the
various operational modes and calibration procedures of the scale. The 1 and
0 keys are also used to answer YES and NO questions displayed in certain
operations. The 1 and 2 keys are also used to select between scale #1 (local)
and scale #2 (remote).
The DECIMAL key is used to enter a decimal point where desired when
keying in a number sequence.
