After the weight value internally becomes stable, the display turns off for a moment, 
and then, zero is displayed along with the ZERO indicator (power-on zero). 
If the weight value is unstable, “
------
” is displayed. Check if anything touches 
the weighing pan, or if there is a strong draft or vibration. Eliminate the cause of the 
error. 
 
The range for power-on zero is within ±50% of the weighing capacity (kg) around 
the calibrated zero point. 
If the power is turned ON while there is a load beyond this range, “
------
” is 
displayed. Remove the load from the weighing pan.

power-on and the object to be weighed is within the weighing capacity.
