SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Caution:
Please use only the original power cord or DC adapter supplied with the scale. Other cords or adapters may damage the scale.

Notice:

• Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents.
• Battery should be removed if the scale is not used for a long period of time.
• When you turn off the scale by pressing [ON/OFF] key, the power is not completely isolated. You should disconnect the power supply if it is not going to be used for an extended period.
• Before operating parts marked with a symbol please read the instruction manual and operate with caution to avoid hazard.
• Do not stack material on the scale when it is not in use.
• Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation, and keep away from direct contact with water.
• Static may influence the weighing result. To reduce the static wipe the pan and the scale with anti-static wipes.

SET UP

ASSEMBLING OF SCALE

• Put the scale on a stable and even table.
• Adjust the height of the feet to level the scale; the spirit level bubble should be in the center of the spirit level.
• Put the pan support in place, inserting the pan support pins into the holes on top of the scale. Place the stainless steel pan on the support.
• Don’t press the scale with great force or the load cell could be damaged.

ASSEMBLING OF BATTERY AND POWER

In some cases the rechargeable battery must be shipped separate from the scale. In this case the user must install the battery.

Remove the battery cover under the scale and put the 6v 4Ah rechargeable battery provided in to the battery compartment. Connect the battery to the cable paying attention to the polarity. The red connector goes to the (+) positive terminal on the battery, the black connector goes to the (-) negative terminal on the battery.
The power cord or DC adapter provided with the scale is used to charge the battery. Make certain the power cord/DC adapter matches the voltage of the location you are using the scale in.
Internal rechargeable batteries (where used) can be changed, but please first ask for technical support from your dealer or the manufacturer. Replacement batteries should be type BT-6M4.0AC(6V4AH) or equivalent.
Please dispose of and recycle used batteries carefully and according to local laws and regulations.

WEIGHING

BEFORE WEIGHING

Check the setting of the auto shut off function, see section 6.2. If the auto shut off function is on, the scale will shut off after a period of time if the scale is not used and it has a stable reading.

WEIGHING

• Press [On/Off] to turn on the scale. The display will show “LBK-1.0 LBK” and show the current voltage “X.X vol” .Then it will begin it’s self checking test from 0 to 9. When the reading is stable, the display will show “0.00”, stable symbol, zero symbol, and the weighing unit used the last time the scale was used.

• Check if the reading is “0.00”, if not, press [Zero]. “0.00” and the zero symbol will be displayed.
• Put the item to be weighed on the pan. When the reading is stable, the net weight will be shown.
• If a container is used, put the container on the pan and press [Tare] key when the reading is stable. The display will show “0.00” and the zero symbol and net weight symbol.

POUND/OUNCE MODE:
When using the pounds/ounces weighing unit the display will show the results rounded to the nearest ounce.

USER FUNCTIONS

The parts counting, percent weighing and calibration functions can be accessed using the [Func] key, if the functions have been enabled as described in section 6.
