5-1. Turning the power ON and OFF
1. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn the power ON.

become stable.
(Only the units available illuminate.)
After the weighing value internally becomes stable, the display turns off for a
moment and zero is shown with the ZERO indicator (power-on zero).
If the weighing value is unstable, the display shows “------”. Check if anything
touches the weighing pan, or check if there is strong wind or vibration.
The range for power-on zero is within ±10% of the weighing capacity (kg) around

If the power is switched ON while there is a load beyond this range, the scale shows
“------”. Remove the load on the weighing pan.
