Remove the contents from the carton which includes the scale, platter, and the AC adaptor.
Install the platter by inserting the pins on the underside into the holes on the top of the scale
console. The sloped edge of the platter should face forward. If any of the pins are bent, contact
QTech; inaccurate counts may result.
The scale is battery powered with the AC adapter functioning as the charger. Since the battery
ships with only a partial charge, allow the unit to charge for at least 10 minutes before initial use.
(A full charge requires 8 to 12 hours.) When charging, first insert the plug into the jack on the left
side of the unit and then plug the transformer into a standard 110/120 volt AC outlet. The power
indicator light on the scale will glow red when recharging. As the charge approaches completion
the light will change to yellow and finally green, indicating a full charge. The scale power switch
need not be in the “on” position during charging.
A full battery will hold a charge for about two months providing approximately 200 hours of
continuous use. The scale will require recharging when the battery symbol
appears in
the lower right corner of the WEIGHT window. Since the battery can be damaged if it is
discharged too much, the scale will automatically power off if the battery is not recharged within
20 hours of the first appearance of the warning symbol.
Locate your scale on a solid, level work surface free from air drafts and vibrations. Tighten the
two black disks of the leveling feet together, and then hand tighten them as a unit into the base.
If the scale is not steady, loosen and extend only one of the feet to eliminate any imbalance.
While precise leveling of the scale is not required, you may get inaccurate results if all four
adjustable feet are not in contact with the work surface, or are extended too far.

For Consistent and Accurate Results:
Avoid placement near drafts, windows, fans, or air conditioning and heating vents. Do
not leave anything on the scale platter when not in use.
Use a surge protector with the AC adaptor to minimize the effects of voltage spikes.
Do not fill containers with coins or tokens while on the scale platter.
Always fill off the
platter to avoid damage to the sensitive scale load cell.
To avoid electronic interference do not operate cell phones within 6 feet of the scale.
Important:
Save the shipping carton and all packing materials should it be necessary
to return the unit to the factory for service.
CAUTION:
The AC adaptor supplied with the scale is a proprietary design. Should it
ever fail, replace only with a QTech supplied adaptor. The use of any other brand may
result in scale and/or battery damage as well as voiding your warranty.
