procedures.
The weight unit (used before power off) would be
employed when the scale is turned on again.

5.4 SET DISPLAYED VALUE TO ZERO WHEN UNLOADED

Press ON/ZERO to set weight displayed to zero when
unloaded. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS for maximum zero
range.

5.5 TARE OFF THE WEIGHT OF A CONTAINER

When a container is used, follow the below steps to
tare off the weight of it and get a net weight
result.
a. Remove all loads away from platter
b. Make sure that zero weight and the ZERO
INDICATOR appear. If not, refer to 5.4 to set
display value to zero.
c. Place the container on the platter.
d. Press TARE.
After TARE is pressed, NET INDICATOR and then a
zero weight value would be displayed. In this case,
the ZERO INDICATOR will not appear even though a
zero weight is displayed.

Refer to 5.2 for weighing procedures. Weight

displayed is the net weight of the subject matter.
Refer to SPECIFICATIONS for maximum tare range.
5.6 CLEAR THE TARE FUNCTION
a. Remove all loads from platter.
b. The scale will appear a negative value, which
is the weight of the container, and the ZERO
INDICATOR appears.
c. Press TARE.
d. After TARE is pressed, a zero weight will be
displayed while the ZERO INDICATOR remains.

5.7 LO-BAT INDICATOR

When the LO-BAT INDICATOR appears, it means that
the battery is faded out. Replace all battery with
new ones, or apply the external power adaptor
immediately.

battery from the battery pack. Failure to do so may
cause battery leak/ explosion or damages to the
scale.
