Change Calibration Switch to Normal Position
Referring to the pictures on the previous page, perform the following steps:
1. Turn the scale power OFF, remove the commodity tray and set it aside. NOTE! If you
are operating the scale using AC power, grasp the scale so that you can hold the 2
housings together and remove the AC power cord also.
2. Turn the scale so that the rear display is towards you. Referring to picture “D”, lift the top
housing off the bottom and tip the rear of it forward (away from you). To avoid damaging
the keypad cable, only lift the housing up enough to clear the internal components.
3. While holding the top housing up with one hand, locate the calibration switch on the front
PC board. To locate the calibration switch, look for the black plastic portion of the
calibration switch as shown in picture “E”.

switch to the Normal position. NOTE! A slight clicking noise can be heard when the
switch position is changed.
5. Lower the top housing onto the lower housing.
6. Grasping the scale so that you can hold the 2 housings together, turn the scale up side
down and with the rear display towards you.
7. Referring to picture “C” for the hole locations, reinstall the 4 screws securing the top
housing to the bottom housing.
8. Turn the scale right side up, and then rotate it to the normal position (keypad facing you).
