Important information

These electronic scales are a precision instrument. Electromagnetic fields can cause
major display discrepancies. The scales must then be repositioned away from
electromagnetic fields. All sources of environmental interference, such as drafts and
vibrations, should be avoided. Sudden changes of temperature should be avoided. The
scales must be reset to match changes in temperature.
The scales are not hermetically sealed, therefore avoid high humidity, steam and dust.
Do not bring liquids into direct contact with the scales, as these can penetrate into the
measuring mechanism. Cleaning material should only be dry or barely damp. Do not
use solvents as these can damage paintwork or other plastic parts. Remove damaged
items immediately from the scales.
The measuring mechanism will be stabilised by allowing the scales to warm up for a few
minutes after switching them on. Place items to be weighed carefully on the scales. Do
not place objects on the weighing platform for any period of time, apart from normal
use. Sudden shocks or overloading the scales beyond the maximum permitted weight
should absolutely be avoided, balance could be damaged.
In case of problems operating the weighing program, switch the scales briefly off and
on. The weighing set-up must then be restarted right from the beginning.
Never operate the scales in areas where there is a danger of explosion, the models in
this series are not protected against explosion.
Check the scales regularly against, known, external test weights.
Opening the scales or failing to use them in accordance with the written
instructions will invalidate the warranty.
Please keep all packaging material for possible return of the scales. Scales must only
be returned in their original packaging.
