TALKING SCALE
Vox 3000 Talking Scale
Thank you for purchasing the My Weigh® Vox 3000ts 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 Vox
300015 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
sensorsleel” 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.
BATTERIES
Low Batteries & bad battery connections are the #1 cause of scale malfunction
and inaccuracy! We test all of our scale returns from consumers and 60% of
them are battery related problems. This sounds silly but it’s true! A scale
will perform poorly when it has low batteries. Use good quality batteries &
replace them often ( Remove the batteries if you plan to store the scale for
longer then 14 days). We include good quality batteries with all of our scales
but they can run low in storage. If your scale simply won’t turn on while on
battery power, it is often caused by loose battery connections. Battery prongs
(terminals) are made of metal and they have to be in contact with the
batteries. You can use a paperclip to slightly bend the battery prongs to have
a better connection. Some poorly designed batteries have recessed or partially
obstructed battery terminals. This may cause your prongs to be touching the
plastic housing of the battery instead of the metal of the battery terminal.
Battery installation
a) Press and lift open the battery cover located at the bottom of the unit.
b) Insert 1 x 9v battery and make sure the polarity is correct (+) and ( – ).
c) Close the battery cover until it clicks shut.
Note : If the battery symbol appears in the display, it means low battery
power. It is time to replace the battery.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Weighing Procedures
- Place the scale on a flat hard surface.
- Press and release the [ON] key and it will say”Hello!”.
- Once the platform is stable you will heart’s Ready!” and the displays shows”0″.
- The weight will be displayed on the LCD and spoken when the reading is steady.
- Gently place the items to be weighed on the scale platform.
- Press [TARE] to deduct the weight of an item or container that is on the scale. The reading is now”0″.
- The stability indicator”H” in the top left corner will display when the weight is stable.
- Press [G/OZ] to select the desired weighing mode (g or oz).
- Turn the scale off by pressing the [OFF] key and it will say”Goodbye”.
TARE
Tare can be used for eliminating the weight value of an empty container. Place
an empty container on the scale and press [TARE]. Then place the items to be
weighed in the container.
NOTE: When all weight is removed from the weighing tray, the tared value
of a container will be displayed as a negative number. Press [TARE] again to
return the scale to zero.
FEATURES
Overload indicator
When the display shows”Err”, this indicates an overload. Remove excessive load
immediately. Remember: you can permanently damage the scale and void your
warranty by overloading it!
Auto off
An auto shut off feature is provided to conserve battery power. The unit will
automatically turn off after 60 seconds of inactivity.
To add the weight feature
Press [TARE] to zero the value of the last weighing item before adding the
next item to be weighed. You can repeat this procedure as many times as long
the combined weights are less than capacity.
Note :The scale will give an audio signal to represent negative (-)
reading when using TARE function.
AUDIO
Switching the talking feature on/off
Use the switch on the bottom of the scale to switch on/off the talking
feature.
Selecting language
- After showing “0”, press and hold the [G/0z] button for 7 seconds. You will hear”Hel lo” in the existing language.
- Press the [G/0z] button to select the desired language.
- To confirm the selection, press and hold the [6/0Z] button until it says”Goodbye”.
CALIBRATION
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 3kg weight or combination of weights in order to
calibrate
- Place the scale on a flat hard surface.
- Press the [ON] key and it will say ‘Hello!”.
- Once the platform is stable you will hear “It’s ready!” and the displays shows “0”.
- Put 3kg standard weight on the platform. Make sure the reading is steady.
- Press and hold the [TARE] key for 5 seconds, the display will show “3000” and flash twice. Do not release the key until it shuts down automatically. The calibration is complete.
