Operation

Weighing
Preconditions:

You are working on a stable, horizontal, and even surface.

Press ON/OFF to turn the power ON.
Wait for “0.0” to show. If another value appears press TARE.
Press MODE to toggle through units of measurement (lb:oz, kg:g, lb, oz). You can adjust the unit of measurement at any time.
Place the object to be weighed onto the weighing platform.
If the weight exceeds the weighing range, the display will show “Err”. Immediately re-move the object(s) from the weighing platform.
Press ON/OFF to turn the power OFF.

The power will automatically switch off after 285 seconds of inactivity.
Press HOLD to lock a readout for 30 secs, or press hold again to cancel the hold.

Tare function

The tare function factors in the weight of the container so the scale only shows the net weight of the object being weighed.
The maximum weighing capacity includes the weighing container. It is recommended to use a weighing container that is as light as possible.

Press ON/OFF to turn the power ON.
Place an empty measuring container (bowl, basket, etc.) onto the weighing platform. Wait until the display stabilizes.
Press TARE. The display will show the value “0.0”.
Place the object to be weighed into the measuring container.
The weight shown will be the net weight of the object you are weighing.
To continue weighing without the measuring container, remove the container from the weighing surface and press TARE.
Press ON/OFF to turn the power OFF.

Counting
This function determines the quantity of equal weight objects in batches.

Press ON/OFF to turn the power on.
Place (25, 50, 75 or 100) objects on the weighing platform.
Press and hold PCS until the number “25” appears on the display.
Press MODE repeatedly to set a reference unit number (25, 50, 75 or 100).
Press PCS. The display will show the number of units.
Add or remove objects from the weighing platform.
Press MODE to return to normal weighing mode.

Press HOLD to lock a readout for 30 secs, or press hold again to cancel the hold.

Calibration
The scale was calibrated at the factory. If accuracy fails, first try replacing the batteries.

Preconditions:

A standard test weight of 5000 g or 10000 g is required for calibration.
The weighing platform must be empty.

Press ON/OFF to turn the power on.
Press and hold MODE until the display shows capacity “50000 g”, then press MODE again. The display will show “5000 g.”
Press TARE to select a test weight or 5000 g or 10000 g.
Press MODE to select the weight. The display will alternate between “CAL” and the se-lected weight.
Place the selected test weight on the weighing platform.
Calibration is completed when “PASS” appears on the display. This may take a few moments.
If a calibration error has occurred, “Err” will show on the display. Switch the power ON/OFF and then repeat the process.
Remove the weight.
Press ON/OFF to turn the power OFF.

Disposal

Product

This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life. Owners of WEEE shall dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators, which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is handed over to a collection point. Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back of waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our website):

in our Conrad offices
at the Conrad collection points
at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG

End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in countries outside of Germany.
(Rechargeable) batteries
Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately from the product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged to return all spent batteries/rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in the normal household waste. Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left). Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection. Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short cir-cuit and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
