Low Batteries & Faulty AC Adaptors are the #1 cause of scale malfunction and inaccuracy!          We test all of our scale returns from consumers. Fully 60% of consumer returns are simply dead or low batteries. 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.   A Faulty AC adaptor can cause your scale to act unstable with numbers "jumping" all around.  Please test your scale with a good set of batteries (instead of the AC adaptor) to determine if perhaps the AC adaptor is faulty.

Thank you for purchasing the LS. With normal care and proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service. Please read all operating instructions carefully before use.

TROUBLESHOOTING & OPERATION NOTES:

Although the LS-30 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 shock and are sometimes destroyed. This happens with all digital scales. We design our scales to be as resistant to shock or drops as possible, however there is no way for us to protect 100% against load cell or sensor damage. A well-treated scale will provide years of reliable and accurate weighing. However an abused scale will only work until it’s sensors are damaged.

PROPER OPERATION AND ENVIRONMENT

• When using the optional AC Adaptor please disconnect the battery for safety and to avoid power fluctuations. Power fluctuations can cause slight inaccuracy in an electronic scale.
• Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold, your scale works best when operated and stored at normal room temperature.
• Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale On and wait several seconds to give the internal components a chance to stabilize before weighing.
• The cleaner the environment the better. Dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents and proximity to other electronic equipment can all cause an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
• Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto tray top. Although this scale is designed to be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the internal sensor.
• Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the scale. This is a precision instrument and must be handled with extreme care.
• Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free surface. IMPORTANT: Do not operate near cell phones, radios, computers, or any other electronic device.
• These electronic scale are precision instruments. Do not operate near an in-use cell 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.

INACCURACY / ERROR
The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction are low battery, 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

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 25/30 lbs, "EE" will appear on the display. Remove excessive load immediately. The unit may return to normal operation. Please do not overload the scale. Remember: You can permanently damage the scale by overloading it!

NEGATIVE VALUE
Any tared value will be displayed as a negative number once all weight is removed from the unit. Depress ON to return the unit to zero.

DUAL WEIGHING PLATFORM
The Innovative Weighing Platform is designed specially for holding letters and odd-shaped boxes. You can lift the top of the platform to hold letters and tubular parcels.

ON/TARE BUTTON
Press ON/TARE to turn the scale ON or also to TARE the scale. Press ON/TARE to reset the scale to zero / tare the scale. Tare can be used for eliminating the weight value of a container. Place an empty container on the scale and then press ON/TARE. The scale will reset to 0.0, then place the items to be weighed in the container and the correct weight of the items will appear on the display.

Note: When all weight is removed from the weighing tray, the scale may show "- - - -" (indicating underload). Turn the scale OFF and then back ON to reset the scale to 0.0.

OFF BUTTON
Press OFF to turn the scale OFF.

GRAM / OUNCE BUTTON
This scale can read in either grams (KG) or ounces (LB). There is a switch on the side of the scale. Slide the switch to either Gram or Ounce mode.

AUTO OFF
The scale has an Auto - Off feature that will turn the power off after a few minutes of inactivity.

BATTERY OPERATION
If your scale ever performs slowly, shows "LO" or performs inaccurately, please replace the battery Or switch to the optional ac adaptor.

1. One 9V battery is required.
2. Open the battery cover located at the back of the scale.
3. Instal a new 9V battery. Be certain to attach the battery correctly.
4. Replace the battery cover. Do not use excessive force.
5. The scale is now ready for battery operation. Note: Disconnect the battery if you plan to store the scale for longer then 10 days OR if you use the optional AC Adaptor.
