Charging the Battery

❶ Open the orange USB port cover and insert the small end of a micro USB cable into this port.

❷ Insert the large end of the USB cable into a computer, charging port or other device for charging your scale’s battery.

❸ The scale will automatically turn on to verify the charging connection.

• We recommend turning off the scale manually at this time to reduce charging time.

• Scale is fully charged when the battery icon has

4 bars.

Our scale battery comes with protection circuit to avoid over-charging. We strongly recommend unplugging the scale when it is fully charged. Over-charging will damage the battery.

Please charge the scale as soon as possible when the last bar in the battery sign disappears, instead of waiting until scale shuts off due to the power depletion.

Washing Instructions

This scale has been treated with a water-resistant nanocoating. However, washing the scale under running water is not recommended. Please follow these instructions to clean your scale:

❶ Wash the exterior of the scale with a soft, damp cloth.

❷ Do not wash scale under running water.

❸ Leave scale to dry on a dish rack with LCD and buttons pointing up.

DO NOT use liquid bleach or other harsh chemicals.

DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive sponges as this can scratch the surface.

DO NOT submerge the scale.

Avoid pouring water directly into your scale, as water may become trapped. If this occurs drying time may exceed 4 hours.

Water drops on the LCD display will not interfere with your weighing. These drops will dry and disappear.

If the scale displays “UNST” or the readings jump after washing, then water is still inside the scale. Simply shake out the excess water and let your scale dry longer.

By following these washing instructions, you will experience shorter drying times and your scale will provide you with years of reliable service.
