approximately the same number, until the number of samples is approximately double. The additional samples need
not be counted.
4. Press . After the unit weight of the samples has been saved, the display begins to flash, indicating that the
Memory Update Method is still running.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4. The total number of samples to be saved should be approximately 1/5 to 1/2 of the number of
samples to be measured.
Press . The balance saves the unit weight and returns to measurement mode.
2.4 Measuring
The percentage measurement function operates by weighing an actual sample, selected as the reference, and saving its weight
as the reference value and indexing it as 100%. When a measurement sample loaded on the balance is lighter or heavier than
the reference, its weight is indicated as a percentage (%) value relative to the reference weight.
6. Press to display [%].
7. Press . The display begins flashing [. The balance is now ready for reference value setup.
8. Load the reference sample.
9. Press . The balance indexes the weight value of the reference sample as 100% and returns to measurement
mode.
10. The balance now indicates the weight of the loaded sample as a percentage (%) value relative to the reference value.
Key points of the procedure
1. While samples are being saved, the value indication disappears temporarily and only the [M] mark flashes. If the
balance is affected by wind or other vibrations during this process, the saving time may be prolonged.
2. If [  ] appears briefly, it indicates one of the following states:
• The weight of the reference sample is insufficient. For the limit weight that can be saved (% limit weight), please
refer to Section 12 on page 26.
• While setting up the reference value in Step 2, the
Set
key was pressed while the samples were loaded on the balance.
If [

] appears, sampling has been interrupted and the sample value being processed will not be saved.
3. The minimum intervals between percentages in the unit switch from 1% to 0.1% to 0.01% depending on the reference
weight from the sampling.
2.5 Operating with Battery
This function can be used only when the balance is battery operated.
2.5.1 Specifications
Built-in nickel-cadmium battery
Charging time
Approximately 12 hours
Drive time Approximately 24 continuous hours
Number of charge/discharge cycles 300 or more
2.5.2 Charging Method
While the balance is battery-operated the full battery indicator [ ] stays on. The charging required indicator [ ] flashes
when the battery capacity decreases. If the balance flashes [ ], charge the battery by following these steps:
1. Connect the dedicated AC adapter to the balance.
2. Turn off the balance.
3. Charge the battery for approximately 12 hours, with the power switched off.
Charging the battery longer than 12 hours decreases battery life.
