Grind-by-weight With The Acaia Lunar

Apply Lunar Magnetic Strips

Remove the Lunar magnetic strips application tool along the dotted line.
Fold the flaps at the top and bottom of the application tool along the dotted line.
Align and insert the application tool flaps into the Lunar base gap.
Peel off the backing paper of the magnetic strips.
Attach the magnetic strips to the empty slots of the application tool.
Remove the application tool.

Note:

The Lunar metal magnetic strips cannot be repeatedly pasted. Before attaching the Lunar, you must clean the bottom of the Lunar thoroughly, then attach the magnetic strip. You also need to apply pressure to flatten the magnetic strip to ensure it sticks firmly. If the strip is not securely attached and shifts, the adhesive on that magnetic strip will be damaged and cannot be reused.

Pairing with the Lunar for the First Time

Make sure both the Lunar and the Orbit are using the latest firmware via the Acaia Updater App.
Check if the Lunar has the magnetic strips aligned correctly.
When the Lunar is off, press and hold the button for 10 seconds until the LED displays ‘Pair?’.
Place the Lunar on the Orbit. When the Orbit button turns orange and the Lunar displays ‘Confirm?’, tap on the Lunar to confirm pairing.
When the Lunar displays ‘Orbit’, the pairing is complete.
You will only need to pair the Lunar once. The Lunar will automatically connect with the Orbit next time it is placed on the Orbit.

One Orbit can only pair with one Lunar at a time. If you want to pair with another Lunar, please reset the pairing in the App, or reset the Orbit to factory default.
