Measuring procedure

Before using the Weight Watcher touch for the first time, remove the battery seal from the battery compartment on the back of the device.
Select the unit
To adjust the tracking force, we recommend using the default setting: ‘g’.
If you want to use another unit of measurement, you can select it by ‘MODE’.
Determine the correct position of your Weight Watcher touch on the turntable by carefully positioning your tonearm with the cartridge in the playing area of the turntable.
The measuring area of the Weight Watcher touch (marked ‘Measuring area’) is at the same height as a 200g vinyl pressing, so the measurement should be made without a record on the platter.
Carefully place your Weight Watcher touch on the turntable’s surface.
Make sure that all 4 small nubs on the underside of the Weight Watcher touch rest on the turntable platter and not in the label recess of the platter.
This ensures accurate measurements.
Now you can switch on the Weight Watcher touch by tapping on the ‘ON /OFF’ area. After switching it on, all elements of the display are displayed for approx. 3 seconds before returning to ‘0.0’.
Place the tonearm with the cartridge on the red-marked measuring area.
Slowly lower the tonearm, so that the stylus is centred on the red dot.
To avoid false measurements, the body of the cartridge should never contact the Weight Watcher touch.
The display now shows you the weight in grams. If this does not match the cartridge manufacturer’s specification, lift the tonearm and correct the tracking force.
Check your final adjustments of the tracking force again with the Weight Watcher touch.

– Please note –
Horizontal placement of your Weight Watcher touch is required for accurate measurement of tracking force.
Do not touch the surface (calibration area, showing the Clearaudio logo) during the measurement process to ensure an accurate measurement.

Changing the batteries

If the Weight Watcher touch cannot be switched on, the batteries should be replaced.
To change the batteries, open the battery compartment by pressing the lock and remove the cover. Pay attention to the polarity when inserting the batteries. Now you can replace the cover.
Use caution and do not apply any pressure to the calibration /measurement surfaces!

Calibration

If the measurements shown seem inconsistent use the supplied calibration weight to recalibrate the Weight Watcher touch.

1. Place the Weight Watcher touch on a flat, stable surface.
2. Hold down the ‘MODE’ button for approx. 3 seconds: the display will show ‘CAL’ and then the required calibration weight.
3. Place the 100g weight (included) centered on the calibration area (where the Clearaudio logo is shown) and wait 3 seconds.
4. Press ‘ON/OFF’. The display will show “PASS”.

The calibration is completed.
We wish you a lot of fun.
