The Explorer balance has three basic menus; each is selected by front panel buttons marked Mode, Units and
Setup.
Mode Button
The Mode button, when pressed, permits the selection of four weighing modes which are: weigh, percent, count
and animal weighing. These modes are controlled by an on or off selection made in the Setup menu under the
submenu Mode as displayed.
Units Button
The Units button, when pressed, allows the balance to display values in selected measuring unit.
Setup Button
The Setup button, when pressed, allows entry into thirteen submenus which allows you to set the balance for
specific operating parameters. Each of the thirteen submenus contain settings which are user selectable. The
table below illustrates the various submenus and the functions which are selectable. The items shown on the
menu, which are bolded, are the factory default settings. In other words, if you did not enter the Setup menu, the
balance would function in the basic manner shown by the various settings which are bolded. The setup submenus
