2.2 Repacking
If the DC-100 counting scale must be returned for modification, calibration or repair, it must be properly packed
with sufficient cushioning materials. Whenever possible, use the original carton when shipping the DC-100.
Damage caused by improper packaging is not covered by the warranty.
2.3 Setting Up
Place the scale on a solid, level surface away from fans, breezes, and sources of electrical interference.
Level the scale by turning the four adjustable legs located on the bottom of the scale while referencing the bubble
level located on the front of the scale (see
Figure 2-2).
Note:To ensure a higher degree of scale stability, turn in all four adjustable legs before leveling. Turn out adjustable legs to level
as needed.

2.4 Powering Up the DC-100
After plugging the power cord into the socket on the bottom of the scale (Figure 2-3) turn the power switch on
the back of the bottom of the scale to the ON position. Generally when starting up the scale, if the power switch is
currently
OFF, turning it to the ON position powers up the scale. If the power switch is already in the ON position
but the display has been powered down by pressing the
ON/OFF key on the front, the scale can be reactivated by
pressing the
ON/OFF key again.
