The eX-Series Postal Scales are designed for weighing letters and small parcels. They are great in the kitchen, too; perfect for measuring ingredients used in your favorite recipe or for weighing foods for portion control when dieting. The scales are also ideal around the house for hobbies, like models, and countless other uses. Please note that the weight and postal rates provided are for reference and informational purposes only. It is not intended that the weight and/or postal rates be used or relied upon for any commercial use. Rates are also subject to change at any time without notice. Warning: To prevent damage, DO NOT exceed the specified weight capacity of the scale.

BASIC OPERATION 1) Ensure that the scale is placed on a hard, flat and level surface. 2) Press the on/off button. Do not place anything on the scale platform before or while the unit is turned on. Wait for “0.0” to appear on the display. The scale is then ready for weighing. 3) Place the letter/parcel or item on the scale; the weight is displayed within a couple of seconds. The “LOW BATTERY” icon will turn on in the lower portion of the display when the battery power is low. Replace the one 9-volt battery as soon as possible.

AUTO POWER OFF The unit automatically turns itself off after a period of 30 seconds of inactivity. To restart the scale, simply press the on/off button.

UNIT OF MEASURE 

Press the kg/oz button to scroll through the various units of measure. The scale can display a weight in either pounds or metric: pounds and ounces (0lb 0.0oz), ounces only (0.0oz), or kilograms and grams (0g.).

The unit of measure can be changed at any time: such as while the display shows zero with nothing on the scale platform, after an item has been placed on the platform and the weight is already displayed, or even after the “hold” function has been activated.

TARE FUNCTION The tare function allows the display to be reset to show a weight of zero, even after placing an object on the scale. This feature allows you to get the net weight of an item in a container or a box. 1) After the scale is turned on, place the container (measuring cup, box, etc.) on the scale platform. 2) Press the tare key once the weight reading of the container is stable and wait until “0.0” appears on the display. 3) Place item/contents to be weighed into the container. 4) Read the weight of the contents on the display. The weight shown will be the weight of the item in the container, excluding the weight of the container itself. If the “hold” function was not enabled, the scale should return to a default weight reading of zero once the item is removed from the container or box. Removing the container or box itself (the tared weight) will result in the scale displaying dashes. Press the tare key to reset the weight reading to zero. IMPORTANT: Please note that the total weight of the container and its contents should not exceed the weight capacity of the scale.

HOLD FUNCTION The “hold” function allows the weighing of large boxes or items that hang past the edge of the platform and cover or block the scale display, preventing the weight from being read. Once the hold key is pressed, the weight will remain on the display for 120 seconds after the item has been removed from the scale so the weight can easily be read without any interference. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

Press the hold key. The “hold” icon will turn-on. Place the item on the scale platform. Wait for the beep tone t
