I Safety Instructions
Before using the scale, carefully read, understand, and follow the "Safety Instructions" described in this manual. Observe the advice given in the "Directions for Use" section to ensure proper operation. Keep this operation manual handy for reference.
To prevent injury
1) DO NOT SHOCK LOAD the scale, Never step on or sit on the scale. Not only will the scale be damaged, but you may also be injured.
2) DO NOT APPLY DIRECT WATER SPRAY to the scale if it is powered by an AC adaptor!! You could receive a shock. The scale is not washdown unless the AC jack is plugged with a water-tight seal.
4) Do not operate the scale if there is smoke or a burnt smell coming from the scale. Remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor immediately. After making sure that there is no danger, consult your dealer. Never try to repair the scale by yourself.
5) This scale is not an explosion-proof model. Do not use the scale in an atmosphere containing flammable gases or explosive fumes. A fire or an explosion can result.
6) Place the item to be weighed in the center of the platform. Items placed on the edge of the platform may fall off and cause injury.
7) When weighing a heavy, large or unbalanced item, make sure the item is stable on the platform, otherwise an accident may occur.
8) When carrying or moving the scale, be sure to hold it by the bottom of the weighing platform with both hands. If you hold it by the column, the column may become detached causing the scale to fall. This will damage the scale and could cause injury.
9) Do not insert your finger into the gap or holes in the scale. You may be injured.
10) The DP-6200 uses a liquid crystal display. If the LCD breaks and the liquid leaks from the LCD, do not touch it with your fingers. The liquid is toxic if ingested. Be especially careful around small children.
To prevent damage to the scale
1) Do not push the indicator or keys with sharp objects. They may break or puncture the switch membrane panel.
2) Use the specified power supply and choose a suitable environment. If you do not, the weight readings may be inaccurate and the scale may be damaged.
3) The scale is a sensitive weighing instrument, avoid physical shocks. If you drop something on the scale, overload the scale, step on the platform, or drop the scale, the scale may be damaged and lose accuracy.
4) If the scale becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, apply a little neutral detergent and then wipe the scale with a dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzene, hot water, or chemical agents, all of which can cause deformation, discoloration, or deterioration of the scale.
5) Never remove the case. The fine adjustment section may be damaged and you may be injured by sharp edges on the

III Setup
Assembling the Scale
Seat the column (1) firmly in the column bracket (2). It may be necessary to loosen the stop (3) and locking (4) screws. Align the stop screw hole in the column with the stop screw and tighten. The stop screw must enter the stop screw hole for a secure column mount. Tighten the two locking screws.

Adjusting the Indicator Angle
Loosen the indicator set screw, rotate the indicator right or left to the desired position and tighten the set screw. Press the angle adjustment button, tilt the indicator up or down to the desired position and release the button.
Leveling the Scale
Place the scale on a flat and level surface. There is a bubble level indicator next to the column bracket. The bubble should be in the center of the circle. Adjust the trim by turning the feet in or out to lower or raise the corner of the scale the foot is on. When the scale is level, lighten the lock nuts on each foot and recheck the level. If the scale is not level, the readings may not be accurate.
