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 pull the plug by its cord when unplugging.|
Do not use the scale near fire or corrosive gas.|
Avoid contact with water and

DO NOT immerse the scale 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.|
