2. Press NO to use the stored check limits and proceed to step 6.

3. Press YES to establish new check limits.

4. The balance will then display Set.Lo. Press YES to view the low limit value. Press YES to accept or NO to edit the low limit value. The stored value then displays with the first digit highlighted Repeatedly
   press NO until the desired number appears. Press YES to accept and highlight the next digit. Repeat until all the digits are correct. Press YES to accept the low limit value, Set. H will be displayed.

5. Repeat the same procedure to accept or edit the high value.

6. If required, place an empty container on the platform and press TARE.

7. Place sample material on the platform or in the container. If the sample weight is under the target weight range, the under icon will light. If the sample is within the target weight range, the accept symbol will light. If the sample is over the target weight range, over icon will light.

NOTE: Press FUNCTION to view the low and high check limits.
POSITIVE CHECK
Positive check is used to determine when the material added to the balance is within the target range. In this case, the under and over limits must be positive values. (The over limit must be greater than the under limit.)

1. Add material to the balance until it is within the accept range.

NEGATIVE CHECK
Negative check is used to determine when the material removed from the balance is within the target range. In this case, the under and over limits are both negative values. (The under limit must be greater than the over limit.)

1. Place the item to be weighed on the balance and press TARE.
2. Remove a portion of the item until it is within the accept range.

ZERO CHECK
Zero check is used when comparing subsequent samples to an initial reference sample. In this case, the under limit must be a negative value and the over limit must be a positive value.

1. Place the reference item on the balance and press TARE.
2. Remove the reference sample and place the item to be compared on the balance to determine if it is within the accept range.

TOTALIZATION/ACCUMULATION
This mode allows the user to store a series of weight measurements. Totalize mode has been initiated when the symbol is displayed and the current unit is displayed.
NOTE: Only positive numbers are totalized.

1. Press and hold MODE until total (totalization) is displayed. CLr.tot will then be displayed.
