SPECIAL TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE:
If your PS6 won't turn on (the screen is entirely blank) and
you've tried recharging the scale without any change, please remove and
then properly re-install the battery. That will usually fix the problem.
Although this has only happened a couple of times to date, it is possible that
if certain scales are seriously shaken (usually during shipping) for the metal
battery springs to move slightly and stop making proper contact with the
battery.
PALMSCALE 6.0
OPERATION AND CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
This scale is very easy to
operate. However, there are certain caring and operation instructions you should
read before your first use.
We know taking the time to read these instructions is time consuming, but this
scale is a precision instrument and must be handled with the utmost care.
IMPORTANT:
1)
To open the scale, slide the switch on the
right side of the scale
2)
Do
not get the scale wet or hot and do not operate on any wet or hot surface. To
clean the scale, wipe the surface with a clean damp cloth or mild non-abrasive
cleaner. Do not use any abrasive cleaner because it may damage the finish.
3)
Do not overload the scale. That is,
do not place anything that weighs more than 250 grams on the platform. You
may permanently damage the load cell.
4)
Handle the scale with care. This is a precision instrument and should never be
dropped or otherwise mishandled.
5)
SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Place
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.
6)
Do
not leave anything on the scale when not is use.
7)
If
the scale is excessively cold or hot, allow the scale to warm up to normal room
temperature for at least 1 hour prior to use.
8)
Do not operate a cell phone or cordless phone within 10 feet of the scale****
It may temporarily cause the scale to malfunction.
9)
Only recharge the scale when the batteries are low.
When the display reads “Lo”, please recharge the battery using the charging
station.
10)
In
the unlikely event that the scale permanently “locks up” or shows ERR, visit
www.myweigh.com for Advanced Troubleshooting.
11)
If
your scale should require recalibration, please refer to the calibration guide
on the next page.
12)
Please keep your scale in it’s protective pouch when not in use.

Words of Advice:
The PALMSCALE 6.0 is
undoubtedly one of the coolest pocket scales ever created and the first of it’s
kind. Please remember that this is a precision instrument. It is essential that
you never drop, shake or otherwise mishandle this instrument. Electronic
precision scales use delicate sensors that can easily be damaged if the scale is
excessively shocked, dropped or overload. An abused scale will only work until
it’s sensors are damaged, but a well kept scale will last for your lifetime.
Please be good to your
PALMSCALE !
