Thank you for purchasing a Taylor® digital kitchen scale. Your Taylor® scale is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship. Please read this instruction manual carefully before use. Keep these
instructions handy for future reference.
Battery Information
This scale operates on 1 – 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery (installed). There is a strip under the lithium
battery cover to prevent battery drain in shipping. Please remove the strip before continuing with these
instructions (you may need to remove the battery compartment cover to avoid breaking the strip). Also,
some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Please remove before use.
Replace the battery when the Low Battery warning "LO" appears on the display, or the readings grow
dim or irregular. To replace the battery:
1. Use one 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery.
2. Remove screw (or screws) from the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale and
remove the cover. Take care when removing and replacing the battery door screw. Do not turn the
screw in the wrong direction or over tighten it as this may strip the screw threads in the plastic battery
door.
3. Remove the old battery from the compartment.
4. Place the new battery with the "+" sign up into the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover and screw(s).
NOTE: Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING: Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children handle
batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the battery if
the scale will not be used for a long period of time.
