CHROME Manual
Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh
CHROME digital pocket scale. Please read all operating
instructions carefully before use. Scales are precision
measuring devices and should always be handled with
proper care. To ensure years of reliable service, keep these
simple tips in mind:
• Do not exceed the scales maximum capacity.
Overloading your scale can permanently damage it!
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales
perform best at normal room temperature. If
temperatures have changed dramatically, calibration
adjustment may be necessary.
• Allow your scale to warm up for 30-60 seconds before
performing calibration adjustment(if available).
• Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt,
and moisture can accumulate on the weighing
sensors and electronics causing inaccuracy or
malfunction.
• Avoid using your scale in close proximity to strong
radio wave emitting devices such as computers, cash
registers, and cordless phones.
• Alwaysweighonaatandlevelsurface,freefrom
vibrations and drafts. The corner of a room is usually
the most stable.
• Gently apply all items to be weighed. Do not drop
items onto the weighing platform.
• Avoid dropping your scale. The warranty does not
cover damage due to rough treatment or overload.
• Checkthebatteriesrstifyouarehavinganytrouble
with your scale. This simple step can remedy most
scale issues.
• Do not disassemble your scale. This product contains
no user serviceable parts.

VI. Using the Tare Feature
You can use this scale’s tare feature to subtract the weight
of an empty container or vessel for net weight determination.
NOTE: The weight of the container will subtract from the
available capacity.
1. Place the empty container or vessel on the weighing
platform.
2. Press the TARE key once. The display will then
reset to zero. If the container is removed, it’s weight
will be displayed as a negative number.
3. Youmaynowllthecontainerwiththequantityto
be weighed. The display will show the net weight of
the contents.
4. To return to normal weight display (gross weight),
remove any items from the weighing platform and
press the TARE key again to re-zero the scale.
VII. Using the Counting Feature
1. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the scale on.
2. Place a sample quantity of the items being weighed
on the platform. This quantity should either be 25,
50, 75, or 100 pieces.
3. Once the weight is stable, press and hold the PCS
key to enter counting mode setup.
4. The current sample size will be displayed on the
LCD (ie. “P 25”).
5. Press the UNIT key to change it between 25, 50,
75, or 100 and press PCStoconrm.Thecountwill
be displayed on the LCD. You may now add more
items. As items are added or removed the count will
update automatically.
VIII. Calibration
Calibration and adjustment are performed at the factory.
However, the weighing range can shift slightly during
shipping. Also, due to changes in local acceleration of gravity
around the world, adjustment is recommended when moving
the scale from one location to another. To check calibration:
1. Place the required calibration weight on the scale
and note the displayed value.
2. If the displayed value is not within acceptable
tolerance (see chart on the next page), adjustment
is required.

X. Troubleshooting
• Problem: Scale will not turn on
• Solution: Check the batteries
• Problem: Displayedweightuctuatesrandomly
