Operation Manual
Thank you for purchasing the 140 indicator. Please read all operating
instructions carefully before use and keep the following points in mind:
* Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold, your scale works best when
operated at normal room temperature. Always allow the scale to acclimate to a
CONTENT normal room temperature before use
* Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale on and wait for a few minutes if
possible, to give the internal components a chance to stabilize before weighing.
Ⅰ. SPECIFICATIONS. ……………………………………………… P1 * These electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate near an in-use
cell phone, radio, computer or other electronic device. These devices emit RF and

is 50kg (that means: P8=5, P9=0, P10=0), and users press UNIT key to
choose weighing units. Lb or lb:oz are not allowed to choose, since the
