Caring for the Scale  
With proper care and handling, your scale will give you years of service. Keep the following in  
mind when using your scale:  
Your scale works best when operated and stored at normal room temperature. Avoid  
lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold.  
Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free surface.  
Exposure to dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, and air currents; and proximity to other  
electronic equipment can affect the reliability and accuracy of your scale.  
Using the scale in proximity to wireless devices, such as mobile phones, can cause the scale  
display to fluctuate when the device is in use.  
Although this scale is designed to be quite durable, gently place items to be weighted on to  
the platform. Avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the internal sensor  
and void your warranty.  
You can permanently damage the scale by placing significantly overweight items on the  
scale platform.  
Avoid shaking, dropping, or otherwise shocking the scale. This is a precision instrument and  
MUST BE HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE.  
The scale has been calibrated at the factory and will not need to be calibrated again.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computer peripheral, pursuant to part  
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to  
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Electrostatic discharge (Static Electricity or ESD) can cause damage to any electronic device, including the scale. To avoid  
damage, follow these simple steps:  
Always disconnect the scale from your computer or USB hub when changing the battery.  
Always discharge any accumulated static electricity from yourself before connecting the scale to your computer or  
USB hub. If your computer uses a three-pin, grounded connector, you can do this by touching the metal case of your  
computer. As an alternative, try touching a cold water faucet.
