A. TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

1) Fluctuation in temperature, even a couple of degrees, can cause scale readings to vary. While the scale can be

used right away, optimal performance will occur after unit has warmed up for 5-15 minutes.

2) Always place the scale on a flat, level, and stable surface when in operation.
3) Electrical interference can cause scale readings to vary. Keep other electronic devices (power strips, motors,

radios, phones, etc.) away from scale when in operation.

4) Do not let a fan, AC, heater, or open window blow on scale.
5) Use of the clear cover over the powder pan will improve accuracy, and lessen the effects of outside variables.
