Unit Of Measure; Tare Function; Hold Function - Royal ds-3 Directives

UNIT OF MEASURE

• Press the kg/oz button to scroll through the different units of measure. The scale can display a weight in
either pounds or metric: pounds and ounces (0lb 0.0oz), ounces only (0.0oz), or kilograms/grams (0g.).
Model ds-10 only: When measuring in pounds and ounces, the scale will display the ounces-portion of the
weight in whole ounce increments; fractions of an ounce will not be displayed. For weight less than a whole
ounce, showing to a tenth of an ounce (0.1-oz.), please change the unit of measure to ounces only.
The unit of measure can be changed at any time: such as while the display shows zero with nothing on the scale
platform, after an item has been placed on the platform and the weight is already displayed, or even after the
"hold" function has been activated.

TARE FUNCTION

The tare function allows the display to be reset to show a weight of zero, even after placing an object on the
scale. This feature allows you to get the net weight of an item in a container or a box.
1) After the scale is turned on, place the container (measuring cup, box, etc.) on the scale platform.
2) Press the tare key once the weight reading of the container is stable and wait until "0.0" appears on the
display.
3) Place item/contents to be weighed into the container.
4) Read the weight of the contents on the display. The weight shown will be the weight of the item in the
container, excluding the weight of the container itself.
If the "hold" function was not enabled, the scale should return to a default weight reading of zero once the item
is removed from the container or box. Removing the container or box itself (the tared weight) will result in the
scale displaying dashes. Press the tare key to reset the weight reading to zero.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the total weight of the container and its contents should not exceed the weight
capacity of the scale.

HOLD FUNCTION

The "hold" function allows the weighing of large envelopes, boxes or other items that hang past the edge of the
platform and block the scale display from being read. Once the hold key is pressed, the weight will remain on
the display for 120 seconds after the item has been removed from the scale so the weight can easily be read
without any interference.
1) Press the hold key. The "hold" icon will turn-on.
2) Place the item on the scale platform.
3) Wait for the beep tone to sound.
4) Remove the item from the scale platform. The item's weight reading will remain on the display.
5) Press the tare key to cancel the "hold" feature and return the scale to zero.
You may also press the hold key after the item has already been placed on the platform and the weight is shown
on the display. Steps 1) and 2) above should be reversed; but steps 3) through 5) remain unchanged.
Once an item is weighed and the hold function is enabled; if the scale senses any change in weight on the
platform (besides removing the actual item being weighed) the "hold" icon will blink to alert you of the change
in weight. It will stop blinking when either everything is removed off the scale platform, or when the original
item whose weight is on "hold" on the display is placed back on the platform.
