CONTRAST: Used to optimize the contrast of the liquid crystal display at
various viewing angles. This is factory preset for optimal viewing from below
the scale. By going through the 8 steps, the viewing angle can be changed
slightly to improve contrast for other applications.
TO INITIALIZE THE SCALE
Caution: This procedure must be followed by a complete Setup and Calibra-

the legal standard as required before starting initial calibration.

GROSS) key and the ENTER (TEST) key to change the capacity.
Caution: Any capacity entered must be matched with the load cell capability

determine total counts.
