4. Cautions
4.1. Precautions for Installing the Scale
Consider the following conditions to get the most from your scale.
Install the scale on a solid and level surface where the temperature and relative humidity is stable, there
is no draft and a stable power source is available.
Do not install the scale on a soft floor or where there is vibration.
Do not install the scale near heaters or air conditioners.
Do not install the scale in direct sunlight.
Do not install the scale near equipment that produces strong magnetic fields.
Do not install the scale where static electricity is likely to occur. When the relative humidity is lower
than 45%R.H., plastic and isolators are apt to be charged with static electricity.
Do not use an unstable power source.
Remove the protective film from the weighing pan before use.
The scale must be used indoors only. Using the scale outdoors may expose the scale to lightning
surge beyond its withstand current rating. In such a case, the scale may incur machanical
damages as it cannot withstand lightning energy.
4.2. Precautions for Operating the Scale
Do not place anything on the weighing pan that exceeds the weighing capacity.
Do not drop anything on the weighing pan.
Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil or ball-point pen to press the switches. Press the
switches gently using only your finger.
Pressing the ZERO key before each weighing to prevent possible error.
Weighing must not be done with the scale in water.
Periodically ensure that the weighing value is correct.
Close the calibration switch cover and the display rear cover to keep waterproof.
Calibrate the scale when it is initially installed and after it is moved to another location.
4.3. Precautions for Storing the Scale
Do not disassemble the scale.
Do not use solvents to clean the scale.
For best cleaning of the display unit, wipe with a dry lint-free cloth or a lint-free cloth moistened
with water and a mild detergent.
Do not scratch the base unit with a brush.
Do not use a powerful water jet.
WARNING
Ground the scale, so that the user will not be subjected to an electric shock.
Do not handle the main power cord with wet hands.
The AC plug is not water-resistant. Install it in an area where it does not get wet.
Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.
Do not pull, fold or arrange cables forcibly.
The scale is heavy, so handle it with care when transporting.
The scale must be transported by holding the base as holding the pole may cause
the scale to fall.
