My Weigh iBalance i311 Digital Scale

Capacity 310gxO.OOlg

Thank you for purchasing the My Weigh0iBalance» i311 digital scale. Please read all operating instructions carefully before use. This electronic scale is a precision instrument. With normal care and proper treatment, it will provide years of reliable service. For more information please visit www.myweigh.com.

Never load the scale with more than the maximum capacity. Although the iBalance@ i311 is designed to be extremely durable with extra overload protection built into the case, overloading will permanently damage it! Avoid any exposure to extreme heat or cold, your scale works better when operated at normal room temperature. Keep your scale in a clean environment. Dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents and/or a close proximity to other electronic equipment can all cause an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale. Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto tray top. Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the scale. Scales are delicate instruments and unlike cellular phones, scales have delicate sensors that determine how much an item weighs. If you drop or shock your scale, these sensors “feel” the shock and are sometimes destroyed. This happens with all digital scales. We design our scales to be as resistant to shock or drops as possible, however, there is no way for us to protect 100% against load cell or sensor damage. Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty. Always allow the scale to acclimate to normal room temperature for at least one hour before use. Give your scale sufficient warm-up time. Usually, 30-60 seconds before calibration to give the internal components a chance to stabilize.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE BALANCE

1. Matter charged with static electricity can affect accuracy. Discharge all static electricity. For example, one method is to use Static-Guard spray, and spray it on both sides ofthe weighing platform.
2. The balance must be in an exact horizontal position in order to achieve accurate measurement results. In order to bring the balance into a horizontal position, the adjustable feet are turned either clockwise or counter-clockwise until the air bubble on the front panel is in the center of the marked circle.
3. Please use an independent power outlet to avoid interference from other electrical appliances.
4. Do not put any objects on the platform before powering on.
5. When possible please allow the scale to warm up for several minutes before operation.
6. Items should always be placed on the center ofthe platform when being weighed.
7. For optimum accuracy, recalibrate frequently.

POWER SUPPLY

The i311 is powered by DC 6 V/I.3Ah rechargeable battery or directly by DC 9V• 500mA power adapter.

CALIBRATION

When to calibrate – calibration is RARELY required. Calibration may be required when the scale is first set up for use, or if the scale is moved to a different altitude or new location. This is necessary because the weight of a mass in one location is not necessarily the same in another location. Also, with time and use, mechanical deviations can occur.

How to calibrate:
**you must have an accurate 200g weight or combination ofweights in order to

1. Press [CAL] to enter calibration mode, the display will flash the required calibration weight.
2. Now place the corresponding calibration weight on the platform, the display will show “
3. Calibration is complete when the display shows the correct reading, you can remove the weight(s).
