MyWeigh C300 - Manual

C300 Convertible Manual
This is the Owners Manual and Calibration guide for all C300 Convertible Scales (below). The C300 uses
the same internal program as the Palmscale 5.0. So, for advanced programming information, please
view the Palmscale 5.0 Advanced Programming/Repair .
Low Batteries & bad battery connections are the #1 cause of scale malfunction and inaccuracy! We
test all of our scale returns from consumers. Fully 60% of consumer returns are battery related
problems. This sounds silly but it's true! A scale will perform slowly, or read inaccurately when it has low
batteries. Please replace the batteries often (and only use good quality batteries). We include good
quality batteries with all of our scales but batteries can run low in storage. If your scale simply won't
turn on while on Battery power, this is often caused by loose battery connections. Battery prongs
(terminals) are made of metal. They must be making good contact with your batteries in order for the
scale to power on. You can use a paperclip to slightly bend the battery prongs to make them have a
better connection. Also some poorly designed batteries have recessed or partially obstructed battery
terminals. This may cause your prongs to be touching the plastic housing of the battery instead of the
metal battery terminal.
This scale is very easy to operate. However, there are certain caring and operation instructions you
should read before your first use. We know taking the time to read these instructions is time consuming,
but this scale is a precision instrument and must be handled with the utmost care.
IMPORTANT:
1)To open the scale, lift up on the cover using the notch at the front.
2) There is a jewelers scoop and tweezers on the bottom of the scale. The tweezers are stored above the
scoop. To release the jewelers scoop, slide it out towards the back of the scale. When the scoop is out of
the scale, the tweezers can also be removed.
3) Always empty the tray/platform before turning the power on (clear the platform before turning on)
4) Do not get the scale wet or hot and do not operate on any wet or hot surface to clean the scale, wipe
the surface with a clean damp cloth or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use an abrasive cleaner
because it may damage the finish.
5) Do not overload the scale. That is, do not place anything that weighs more than 200 Grams on the
platform. You may permanently damage the load cell.
6) Handle the scale with care. This is a precision instrument and should never be dropped or otherwise
mishandled
7) Do not leave anything on the scale when not in use.
