3. Note If after calibration your scale does not read accurately this indicates calibration error and the calibration process should be repeated Please calibrate on a scalepad mousepad or similar surface if possible Inaccuracy Error The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction are low batteries incorrect calibration overload or operating on an unstable surface Please keep this in mind and maintain and operate your scale properly The scale is a precise instrument and must be handled with the utmost care and caution POWER UP SEGMENT TEST When first turning the unit on all segments of the display will appear as shown below This display will remain for approximately 3 seconds and then reset to zero The display may also change brightness during this time and show a blank screen for a moment before 0 0 appears 8 8 8 8 STABLE READING INDICATION 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 OVERLOAD When an applied load exceeds the capacity EEEE or HHHH will appear on the display Remove excessive load immediately The unit should return to normal operation Remember You can permanently damage the scale by overloading it NEGATIVE VALUE Any tared value or a value left in memory will be displayed as a negative number once all weight is removed from the unit Depress tare to r

This document hosted by OldWillKnottScales hr eae AmA to visit us the next time you need a scale My Weigh Pointscale User Manual Thank you for purchasing the Pointscale With normal care and proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service Please read all operating instructions carefully before use 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 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES 1 If the Display ever becomes locked showing Out2 please recalibrate the scale as out

6. eturn the unit to zero MEMORY The memory function is designed to allow the user to store values and to then progressively add these values into a sample or procedure Unlike the tare feature the unit returns to zero and a memory indication appears at the upper left of the display After a subsequent weight is added press memory again The original value is added to the current value giving the total gross weight of the current sample Different samples are needed and a total gross weight of all samples is required This process is further outlined on the previous page AUTO OFF An auto shut off feature is provided to conserve battery power The unit will automatically turn off after approximately 2 minutes of inactivity
7. lined in the manual 2 If the Display ever becomes locked on LLLL or EEEE this indicates that the scale was shocked dropped or otherwise damaged and the delicate weighing sensors have been damaged You can try recalibrating the scale 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 1 above Thus if new batteries do not fix this error the scale will have to be sent to us for replacement under our Lifetime 30 year 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 Although the Pointscale 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 s
