BASIC OPERATION
1) Ensure that the scale is placed on a hard, flat, level surface.
2) Press the on/off button. Do not place anything on the scale platform before the unit is turned on or while it
is initializing. The scale will show dashes across the display for 10 to 20-seconds while it is initializing.
Wait for the dashes to disappear and for "0.0" to appear on the display. The scale is then ready for
weighing.
3) Place the letter/parcel or item on the scale; the weight is displayed within a couple of seconds.
If the unit displays dashes or does not show zero at any other time during the unit's operation while there is
nothing on the scale platform, press the tare key to reset the scale to zero and wait until "0.0" appears on the
display. The scale can then be used.
The "LOW BATTERY" icon will turn on at the bottom of the display when the battery power is low. Replace
the one 9-volt battery as soon as possible.
