IMPORTANT SAFETY FUNCTIONS
WARNING – Before operating the unit, please carefully read and understand this document.
- Internal components are very sensitive. Do not shake, drop, or overload unit.
- Handle unit with care, treating it as the sensitive instrument it is.
TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
- Fluctuations in temperature, even of a few degrees, can cause scale readings to vary. While scale can be used immediately, optimal performance will occur after unit has warmed up for 5-15 minutes.
- Always place the scale on a flat, level, and stable surface when in operation.
- Electrical interference can cause scale readings to vary. Keep other electronic devices (power strips, florescent lights, motors, radios, phones, etc.) away from scale when in operation.
- Do not let a fan, air conditioner, heater, or open window blow on scale.
- Using clear cover over powder pan will improve accuracy and lessen effects of outside variables.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the scale is not measuring consistently or showing “ERROR”, please attempt the following to restore the scale to the default setting before contacting Hornady customer service.
Turn the unit on and press and hold the Units, Zero, and On/Off buttons.
The unit must then be recalibrated by following the Calibration instructions
in this manual. After calibrating, power the unit off and then back on.
Recalibrate the unit a second time before returning to normal operation.
WARNING: Verify the scale is working properly before continuing to reload.
