1. Remove the scale from its box, along with its platform 
assembly and the adaptor.
2. Install the platform assembly onto the scale by matching the 
plastic posts of the platform assembly with the mating holes 
on the top of the scale (no special orientation is required).
POWER
To turn the scale on, press the button marked “ON/OFF”. The display 
will first show “88888” followed by “           ”. To turn the scale off, push 
the “ON/OFF” button. The scale will remember the unit mode last 
shown, and this unit will display when the scale is turned on again.
UNIT CONVERSION
Press the Unit Conversion Button to switch from fractional ounces to 
decimal ounces to grams to ounces. When the scale is turned off, it 
will remember the unit mode last shown and will turn-on in that mode. 
WEIGHING
When the display shows “0”, the scale is ready to weigh an object. If 
the object exceeds the capacity of the scale by more than 10%, the 
display will show “Err” (for error). Until the overload condition is 
reached, additional objects may be placed on the platform. The 
display will show the sum of the weights of all the objects. When one 
of multiple objects is removed from the platform, the weight of the 
remaining objects will display.
TARE OPERATION
To tare (zero out) a load on the platform (example: the weight of a 
container
), press the “TARE” button. The display will show the value 
0”. 
During the “TARE” mode, a new item can be added to the platform. 
The display will show the sum of the weights of the added items. 
Another item may be added, if desired. The display will show the sum 
of all additional item weights above and beyond the tared out load.
TARE CAPABILITY
A load of up to 50% of the scale's capacity can be tared out, while still 
allowing the weighing of an additional object, up to the full capacity 
of the scale. 
Tare capability example: On a 10 pound scale (TE10), a load of 5 lbs 
(50%) can be tared out. Once tared out, an added weight of 11 lbs (full 
capacity plus 10%) can still be weighed without causing an overload 
condition.
If a load that exceeds 50% of the scale's capacity is tared out, the 
additional weight that can be measured will be reduced accordingly. 
HOLD OPERATION
The “HOLD” function may be used to lock the weight on the display for 
ten (10) seconds, even after the load is removed from the platform. 
To use the hold function, press the “HOLD” button. A small triangle will 
appear in the upper left corner of the display next to the word “hold”, 
indicating the hold function is turned on. This triangle and the “hold” 
function will remain in place until the “HOLD” button is pressed again. 
This pressing of the “HOLD” button a second time will cancel the “hold” 
function, and the triangle will disappear from the display. While the 
scale is in “HOLD” mode:
Place a load on the platform. When the weight is locked in, the triangle 
will begin to flash. When the load is removed from the platform, the 
display will continue to show the weight for ten seconds. After the ten 
second period is up, the triangle will stop flashing, and the display will 
show “0”. If the load is not removed from the platform, the triangle will 
continue to flash. The ten second “hold” period will begin once the 
load is finally removed from the platform.
During the ten (10) second period, the load can be tared out, causing 
the display to show “0”. And additional load will be displayed and held 
for another ten second period, etc.
If the “HOLD” button is pressed again, the scale will revert to its normal 
operating mode.
When the scale turns off, the hold function is cancelled. When the scale 
is turned on again, it will be in normal operating mode.
The Digital Portion Control Scale operates with a rechargeable 
battery (included). To install and charge the battery:
1. Remove the battery compartment door on the bottom of the 
scale.
2. Plug the male connector of the rechargeable battery onto the 
female connector, which is located in the battery compartment.
3. Place the rechargeable battery into the battery box.
4. Replace the battery door.
5. To charge the battery, insert the connector plug of the adaptor 
into the jack at the back of the scale. Plug the other end of the 
adaptor into the proper electrical outlet. A red LED on the side of 
the scale will light up, indicating the battery is charging. When the 
LED light changes to green, the battery is completely charged.
6. Allow at least 12 hours for the scale to charge completely. The 
scale will then operate continuously for approximately 14 hours.
7. The battery life cycle is approximately 500 recharges. If the scale 
does not function properly after at least 12 hours of charging, the 
battery may need to be replaced. The scale will still operate on 
adaptor power if the battery is not charged.
8. To purchase a new rechargeable battery (model TERBAT), please 
contact customer service at 1-800-225-4834.
9. There is also an AC adaptor included with this scale and can be 
used in place of the Rechargeable Battery.
