3) Do NOT place the base platform in areas where there may be spills, standing water or other liquids
on the floor, near or underneath the scale.
4) The scale should not be placed on a porous surface or one that has been treated with any substance
that may interact with the rubber feet. Depending on the surface or cleaning solution, the rubber
may leave marks on the surface. As a precaution, do NOT keep the scale on any valuable surface,
such as antique, precious or fine wood tables, desks, floors, etc.
5) This product is NOT intended for use by children. As with all sensitive electronics, THIS SCALE
SHOULD BE KEPT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
BATTERIES
The scale's base platform and the wireless remote both have separate power sources. The remote
display must be powered by one 9-Volt battery. The base platform may be powered by either one 9-
Volt battery or by an AC-adapter. The AC-adapter is included and shipped with the scale. The
batteries are not included with the purchase of the scale.
It is strongly recommended that the base should be powered using the AC-adapter, included with the
scale, whenever possible. The base should only be temporarily powered by a 9-Volt battery when the
scale is in a remote location where AC-power is not available. This is to ensure battery-life and the
scale's weighing accuracy, which may be negatively affected by weak batteries.
A battery icon with the letters "9 VOLT" will blink in the upper right side of the display when the
battery power is low. Immediately to the left of the battery icon are the words "SCALE" and
"DISPLAY". The battery power is low in the unit that is lit with the battery icon. So, if the word
"SCALE" is lit with the "9 VOLT" battery icon, then the one 9-Volt battery in the base platform must
be replaced as soon as possible, or you need to switch to the AC-adapter. The word "DISPLAY",
when lit, refers to the battery in the wireless, remote display. Normally, only one word will be lit at a
time; however, it is possible that both words "SCALE" and "DISPLAY" may light-up at the same
time, if the batteries in both units are running low on power at the same time.
AUTO POWER OFF
The remote display has a built-in, pre-programmed auto power off feature to automatically turn off
after a period of 3-minutes of inactivity. To restart, simply press the on/off button or follow the Basic
Operation instructions above.
Please note that the auto power off feature will only be activated in the base platform when it is being
powered from a battery. When the base platform is powered using the AC-adapter, then the base will
stay "on" until the on/off button is pressed again to turn the unit "off".
UNIT OF MEASURE
The scale can measure the weight of an item in either pounds or metric (kilograms).
• Press the lb/kg button to scroll through the various units of measure. The scale will display a
weight in: pounds only (0.00-lbs), pounds and ounces (0-lb 00-oz), or kilograms (and grams) (0.00-
kg.). The scale is preset at the factory to default to pounds every time it is turned on.
