My Weigh MBSC-55 UltraScale Baby Scale User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the My Weigh® Baby 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 My Weigh® Baby Scale 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. Do not overload the scale in order to protect the sensor from damage.
2. Infants should always be placed on the center of the platform when being weighed.
3. Do not drop or shock the scale.
4. Clean the scale with a damp cloth, DO NOT immerse the scale in water or use chemical/abrasive cleaning agents.
5. Do not use propellant, abrasive or other chemicals to wipe the dirt in avoidance of discolour or malfunction.

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 than 14 days). 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 4 x AA batteries and make sure the polarity is correct(+) and ( – ).
c) Close the battery cover until it clicks shut and the digits “O.OOkg” are shown on the LED.
Note : If the battery symbol appears in the display, it means low battery power. It is time to replace the battery.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Select Measuring Unit
With batteries correctly installed, press UNIT button [ ] in the scale to select measurement unit. The default measurement unit is “kg’~ You may press UNIT button [ ] to choose between kilogram, pound and ounce.

TARE

TARE function allows you to weigh different items consecutively with out removing the items from the scale.

1. When the scale is off, press the ON/OFF/TARE button [ ] to go to the weighing mode. You can start to weigh when “0.00” is shown on the LED.
2. Place the first item you wish to weigh onto the scale, the LED will show the weight of the first item.
3. Press the ON/OFF/TARE button [ l to reset the display to zero.
4. Now add another item to weigh onto the scale. The LED will show the weight of the newly added item.
5.  If you remove the added item from the scale, the LED will again show zero. But if you remove all items from the scale, the LED will show’ “—–“,
6. When it shows the “—–“, it will automatically clear to zero and go to the normal weighing mode.

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 20 kg weight or combination of weights in order to calibrate

1. Power on the scale and wait until it show zero.
2. Press and hold ON/OFF [ ] and UNIT button [ ] at the same time for 3 seconds, display will show CAL, then several random numbers.
3. Press UNIT button [ ] one time, the display will show 20.00kg and flashing; put on 20kg test weight on the platform, then after stable, 20.00kg will stop flashing.
4. Remove the weight from the platform and tum off the scale. The calibration process has been completed.
