1) Place scale on a flat hard surface. Adjust the 'Rubber Pad"(3-5, Fig. 1) until the water bubble of the "Level Bubble"(3-1a, Fig. 1) on the center position, then the scale already install under the horizontal position completely. 2) Set the "gm" or "oz" unit by slide the "Unit Switch" (3-10, Fig. 1). * Use the "-" type screw driver to slide the "Unit Switch". * The scale are preset to the "gm" unit typically. * Slide the "Unit Switch" to the right position will set to "gm" unit & the right down corner of LCD will show the "g" marker. * Slide the "Unit Switch" to the left position will set to "oz" unit, but the LCD display will not show any marker. 3) Turn the "Power Switch"(3-4, Fig. 1) to the On position. The Display(3-3, Fig. 1) will show "8.8.8.8.8" for a few seconds, then "0" will appear again. 4) Apply the load to the platform gently, display will show the measuring weight values. * Do not exceed the over load capacity of the scale. * Over weighting, the display will show "EEEEE". 5) Tare function : After weighting the first item, press "Tare Button" (3-2a, Fig. 1), scale will reset to zero values automatically. At the same time, the LCD display will show the "Tare" mark. Place next weighted item onto scale. Scale will give weights of the second only. * If the display show "- - - - -", means the display reading is under the zero, then tare function should be execute again. * The max. tare capacity is the full capacity(500g). 4 all-guides com

"Power On" again. 6. SELF-CALIBRATION 1) Prepare a 200 gram standard weight (WT-200, optional). 2) Select the display unit to "gram". Power on the scale until the display show zero value. Apply the 200 gram standard to the center of the platform gently, 3) Press the "Calibration Button" (3-2, Fig. 1), then the display will show the value of " 200.0 0.1 g " Then the scale is calibrated completely & ready for the measurement accurately. Consideration of Self-Calibration : * The internal Self-Calibration correction data is save to the memory circuit a while. Once power off, then the correction data will disappear . * The permanent calibration procedure should be execute according the procedure of "Quick Calibration" (11-1) 7. BATTERY REPLACEMENT If battery is weak, LCD display will show "LO" indicator. This reminds user to replace new battery. 1) Open "Battery Cover"(3-6, Fig. 1) located at the bottom of the scale. 2) According to the device instruction, place batteries(1.5V AA size battery x 6 PCs) into the battery compartment & replace the battery cover. 5

(Adapter is optional accessory) 1) The scale will also be operated by the household ACV power source (110/220/240 ACV) with a DC 9V AC/DC Adapter(capacity 300 mA). 2) Plug the jack from the Adapter into the "DC 9V receptacle"(3-7, Fig. 1). 3) Now the scale is ready for ACV operation. 9. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE The instrument features an RS232 output via 3.5 mm Terminal ( 3-8, Fig. 1). The connector output is a 11 digit data stream for "gram" & 12 digit data stream for "oz", which can be utilized to the user's specific application. An RS232 lead with the following connection will be required to link the instrument with the PC serial input.
