ACCURACY AND ALLOWANCES

Some factors aecting accuracy need to be allowed for:

• If the strap is pulled while taking a zero reading or the luggage touches yourself or an obstacle during weighing this can aect the accuracy.

• Your scale rounds up or down to the nearest increment. If you take two readings and get dierent readings, the weight lies between the two.

• Your scale readings may not match the airline check-in desk due to manufacturing tolerances.

• After a ight allow the scale to return to room temperature before use. For these reasons we recommend your luggage weighs at least 500g/1.1lb less than your airline allowance, this should also allow you to take your luggage scale with you. 9500_IB_V1_SL2079-3.qxd:Layout 1 14/10/09 09:57 Page 45
