INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Before beginning installation of your scale, make certain the instrument has been received in
good condition. When removing the scale from its packing, inspect it for signs of damage, such
as exterior dents and scratches. Keep the carton and packing material for return shipment if it
should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all claims for any
damages or loss incurred during transit.
1. Remove the scale from the shipping carton and inspect it for any signs of damage.
2. Plug-in the 9VDC adapter or install the battery. Refer to the POWER SUPPLY or
BATTERY sections of this manual for more instruction.
3. Place the scale on a flat level surface, such as a table or bench.
4. The scale is now ready for use.
POWER SUPPLY
To apply power to the scale using a 9VDC, 100 mA power supply, insert the plug from the power
supply cable into the power jack on the back of the scale and then plug power supply into the
proper electrical outlet. The scale is now ready for operation.
BATTERY
The scale can use a "9V" size Alkaline battery (not included). If you wish to operate the scale
from a battery, you must first obtain and install the battery. The battery is contained in a holder
inside the scale. Access is via a removable panel on the right end of the bottom of the scale.

INSTALLATION, Cont.
LOW BATTERY
When the battery is near the point it needs to be replaced, a low battery indicator on the
display will turn on. If the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the scale will
automatically shut off and you will be unable to turn it back on. When the low battery indicator
is displayed, the operator should replace the battery or remove the battery and plug-in the
9VDC adapter.

CALIBRATION
This scale was calibrated at the factory and should not require adjustment. In the event that the
scale should need recalibration, the following describes the Calibration of the Model 8450 Baby
Scale. A qualified technician should perform this function to maintain the instrument’s high
degree of accuracy.
TO BEGIN CALIBRATION:
1. Press and hold the ON/ZERO/OFF key, then press the Kg/Lb key 3 times. Release the
ON/ZERO/OFF key to enter the Gravity Compensation mode. (Please see Note 1).
2. In Gravity Compensation mode, press the ON/ZERO/OFF key twice. The display will
change to show .
3. Press the ON/ZERO/OFF key again to enter the Calibration mode. (In the Calibration
mode, press the Kg/Lb key to select kg or lb).
4. Place the 20 kg calibrated test weight on the scale. The display will change to show the
span count (2000 ~ 20000). (Please see Table 1).
5. Press the ON/ZERO/OFF key. The display will change to show &$/ and then will
change to show 20.00 kg.
6. Remove the test weight.
7. Calibration is complete.
Table 1:
Capacity 15 / 10 kg 25 / 20 kg
Calibration Weight 10 kg / 20 lb 20 kg / 50 lb
Span Count (kg) 2000 ~ 20000 2000 ~ 16000
Span Count (lb) 2000 ~ 18100 2000 ~ 18100
NOTE 1:
Gravity Compensation:
1. When the operator enables *U$X from the function setting of the Calibration mode,
the scale allows the operator to change the setting of gravity value as follows:
A. Press and hold the Kg / Lb key 3 seconds to enter Gravity Compensation mode,
the display will show 9.802 (the gravity value of New York).
B. Enter the desired gravity value (press Kg / Lb key to choose number from 0~9,
and press MEMORY key to move to right digit.
C. Press ON/ZERO/OFF key to confirm the entered gravity.) The scale will do
gravity compensation automatically.
2. If the operator disables *U$X from the function setting of the Calibration mode, the
scale will not allow the operator to re-calibrate the scale by simply changing the
setting of gravity value.
