1. My Weigh Flipscale F2 User Manual Flipscale Owner s Manual Low Batteries amp bad battery connections are the 1 cause of scale malfunction and inaccuracy We test all of our scale returns from consumers Fully 60 of consumer returns are battery related problems This sounds silly but it s true A scale will perform slowly or read inaccurately when it has low batteries Please replace the batteries often and only use good quality batteries We include good quality batteries with all of our scales but batteries can run low in storage If your scale simply won t turn on while on Battery power this is often caused by loose battery connections Battery prongs terminals are made of metal They must be making good contact with your batteries in order for the scale to power on You can use a paperclip to slightly bend the battery prongs to make them have a better connection Also some poorly designed batteries have recessed or partially obstructed battery terminals This may cause your prongs to be touching the plastic housing of the battery instead of the metal battery terminal FLIPSCALE TROUBLESHOOTING amp OPERATION NOTES 1 If the Display ever becomes locked showing Out2 please recalibrate the scale as outlined in the manual 2 If the Display ever becomes locked on LLLLL or EEEEE this indicates that the scale was shocked dropped or otherwise damaged and the delicate weighing sensors have been damaged You can try recalibrating the scale2. If the sensor has not been hurt too badly it will work again after recalibration Otherwise you will have to follow the warranty instructions that came with your scale 3 If the display becomes locked on 8888 this often indicates low batteries However sometimes it also may indicate a serious zero mark error This means when you turn the scale on it can t determine what zero is a slight zero mark error will cause situation 2 above Thus if new batteries do not fix this error the scale will have to be sent to us for replacement under our warranty program 4 If the display shows UNST this means the scale is not stable Please try operating the scale on a more stable surface and be sure nothing is on the tray or stuck under the tray when you turn it on If this situation persists it may be an indication of fatal load cell damage Try calibrating the scale if this does not work please follow the warranty instructions 5 If the display appears fuzzy or unclear try viewing the display from a different angle We set the LCD display for maximum viewability but from odd angles it may appear a bit unclear due to the positioning angle Although the Flipscale is designed to be extremely durable It s important that you never overload or drop shock the scale Scales are delicate instruments and unlike Cellular phones scales have delicate sensors that determine how much an item weighs If you drop or shock your scale these sensors feel the

ON THE TRAY 3 The scale is now ready for battery operation CALIBRATION Important Always perform calibration procedure after first turning the unit on and allowing it to warm up and stabilize for 20 seconds If possible please calibrate the scale on your SCALEPAD included in the box mousepad or similar surface Calibrate your scale at regular intervals if the scale is subject to weather or altitude changes or if the display shows Out2 Incorrect calibration can occur if you do not follow the steps exactly If your scale does not perform accurately please also try replacing your batteries Correct Calibration weight F2 125 100g F2 400 200g NOTE if you do not have access to a calibration weight you can purchase one at your local store or in emergency situations you can use coins or weights ie 20 US Nickels 100g as a calibration weight Calibration Procedure Place the scale on a Flat very stable surface 1 Turn the scale ON 2 Press and hold the UNIT key for 3 5 seconds until the display show CAL 3 Press the UNIT key again the display will flash CAL and then 100 00 200 0 on the F2 400 4 Place a 100g 200g for the F2 400 weight on the tray the display will show PASS and then 100 00 200 0 Calibration is complete NOTE if after calibration your scale does not read accurately this indicates calibration error and the calibration process should be repeated more slowly Please calibrate on your scalepad mousep
4. apply all items to be weighed onto tray top Although this scale is designed to be quite durable avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the internal sensor and void your warranty Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold your scale works best when operated and stored at normal room temperature Allow the unit to acclimate to any major temperature change for at least one hour before use Place the item to be weighed on the platform after the stable weight is displayed remove the item immediately This will prolong the longevity and accuracy of this weighing instrument Do not operate near an in use cell phone cordless phone radio computer or other electronic device These devices emit RF and can cause unstable scale readings If your scale ever performs poorly try moving the scale to a different room or location This is a very precise scale the display may seem to wander or jump when weighing This is due to air currents or vibrations Stable weighing is achieved when the display remains fixed for 3 seconds OPERATION If your scale ever performs slowly inaccurately or shows the battery icon please replace the batteries Battery Operation 1 Two CR2032 button style batteries are required 2 To install batteries a Release the battery cover by sliding out wards b Place batteries into battery compartment aligned correctly c Re instal the battery cover DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE AND DO NOT PRESS
