Turning ON the Scale
Press [ON/Record].
A brief “hello” message will be displayed. The scale enters the GROSS weighing mode.
GROSS mode displays the weight change since the unit was last ZERO/BALANCED.
Zero Balance the Scale
Press the [NET/GROSS] key and within three seconds, press the [ZERO/RECHECK] key.
The ZERO/BALANCE will “balance off” the dead load such as the platform weight or any
attachment to the platform.
“ZERO” is displayed to show completion of the step and the scale is put in the GROSS
mode.
