Weight Units
The “initial weight unit” is the unit in which your balance will weigh the moment you
turn it on. This unit is defined in the 1st range.
You can select a different unit for each weighing range by setting the appropriate
menu code.
Choose any weight unit you’d like, well almost any that’s reasonable for the
balance model you are using. For example, if you set the menu code for “kg”
on a 0.1mg balance, you’ll obtain a readout sure enough, but the display
resolution might be slightly off.
* = factory setting
** = The standard weighing range automatically displayed when you turn on the
balance is identified by the scale pictogram in the display only.
