Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Kilotech Scale. We appreciate your business and hope that you will enjoy using your  scale. Should you require support, please contact your local dealer from whom you have purchased. HappyWeighing!

General Precautions

Avoid lengthy exposure to heat or cold.| Allow the scale to acclimate to normal room temperature before use.
---|---
Allow sufficient warm up time.| Turn the scale on and wait for a few minutes to allow the internal components a chance to stabilize before weighing.
Do not leave a load or weight on a scale for a prolonged period of time.|
Do not tamper with the scale yourself.| This will void the warranty. Contact your local distributor to properly repair your scale.
Do not dissemble the scale yourself.| This will void the warranty. Contact your local distributor to properly repair your scale.
Do not load beyond max cap the maximum weight limit.|
Do not pull the plug by its cord when unplugging.|
Do not use the scale near fire or corrosive gas.|
Do not spill water or immerse in water.|
Avoid placing the scale near a heater.| It could cause a fluctuation to the indicator reading.
Always make sure to use a Kilotech approved adapter.|
Do not drop the scale or apply a sudden shock.|
Do not drag the scale.|
Avoid exposing to other electromagnetic devices.| These devices emit RF and can cause unstable readings. If your scale should perform poorly, try moving the scale to a different room or location.
Level the scale or make sure it is on an even surface.| A scale used on an uneven surface may provide an unstable reading.
Scale should be used within stated temperature & humidity limits.|

Unpacking and setup

• Remove the scale from the box and place it on a firm, level surface.

• Avoid locations with rapid temperature changes, excessive dust, moisture, air currents, vibrations, electromagnetic fields, heat or direct sunlight.

• Adjust the leveling feet until the bubble is centered in the circle of the level indicator (located on the front panel).

• NOTE: Ensure that the scale is level each time its location is changed.

• Before using the scale for the first time, the internal rechargeable battery should be fully charged for atleast 12 hours.

• Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power input receptacle underneath the scale. Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet and the battery will begin charging.

• If the scale will be stored or transported in the future, save the packaging material to ensure the best possible protection for the scale.
