3.0 SAFETY 
PRECAUTIONS 
 
All safety messages are identified by the following words "WARNING" and 
"CAUTION". These words mean the following: 
 
 
  WARNING 
Important information to alert you to a 
situation that might cause serious 
injury and damage to your property if 
instructions are not followed. 
  CAUTION 
Important  information that tells how to 
prevent damage to equipment. 
 
 
When using the balance, following safety precautions should always be followed 
 
WARNING 
 
Use the AC adapter designed by the manufacturer for the balance. Other 
adapters may cause damage to the balance. 
 
CAUTION 
 
•  Avoid installing the balance in direct sunlight- this may cause poor 
performance or malfunctions. 
 
 
•  Do not mix different type of batteries. Replace all the batteries at the 
same time. 
 
•  If the balance is not to be used for a long period of time, remove all 
batteries from the battery compartment to avoid leakage which may 
cause damage to the instrument. 
 
•  Avoid overloading or dropping material onto the platform as that 
could damage the balance. 
 
•  Do not spill liquids on the balance as it is not water-resistant. Liquids 
may damage the case and if it gets inside the balance it may cause 
damage to the electronics. 
 
• Material that has a static electric charge could influence the 
weighing. Discharge the static electricity of the samples, if possible.  
Another solution to the problem is to wipe both sides of the pan and 
the top of the case with an anti-static agent.
