Set-up: preparing the scale for use – QTECH ECS User Manual

Remove the contents from the carton which includes the scale, platter, and the AC adaptor.
Install the platter by inserting the pins on the underside into the holes on the top of the scale
console. The beveled edge of the platter should face forward.
The scale may be powered either with 4 ’C’ Cell batteries or the supplied AC adapter. If using
batteries, do not use a mixture of old and new batteries. Once the batteries loose power,
replace them with fresh ones or remove them from the scale. Depleted batteries left in the scale
may cause the unit to fail when operated on the AC adaptor.
Insert the plug into the jack on the rear of the unit and then plug the transformer into a standard
110/120 volt AC outlet. The use of a surge protector is recommended.
Turn the scale on by pressing the ON/ZERO key.
The ECS scale can display grams, pieces (pcs), ounces (oz), or pounds (lbs.). When the scale
is set to ounces, an indicator arrow will appear above the oz symbol on the display.
Locate your scale on a solid, level work surface free from air drafts and vibrations. While precise
leveling of the scale is not required, you may get inaccurate results if all four adjustable feet are
not in contact with the work surface.
For Consistent and Accurate Results:
Avoid scale placement near windows, fans, and air conditioning or heating vents. Do
not leave anything on the scale platter when not in use.
Use a surge protector with the AC adaptor to minimize the effects of voltage spikes.
Do not jog paper/parts or drop cartons on the scale platter.
To avoid electronic interference do not operate cell phones within 6 feet of the scale.

Important: Save the shipping carton and all packing materials should it be necessary to return the
unit to the factory for service.
CAUTION: The AC adaptor supplied with the scale is a proprietary design. If it should
ever fail, replace only with a QTech unit. The use of any other adaptor may result in
scale and/or battery damage as well as voiding your warranty.
