Low Batteries & bad battery connections are the #1 cause of scale malfunction and inaccuracy! We test all of our scale returns from consumers. Fully 60% of consumer returns are battery related problems. This sounds silly but it's true! A scale will perform slowly, or read inaccurately when it has low batteries. Please replace the batteries often (and only use good quality batteries). We include good quality batteries with all of our scales but batteries can run low in storage. If your scale simply won't turn on while on Battery power, this is often caused by loose battery connections. Battery prongs (terminals) are made of metal. They must be making good contact with your batteries in order for the scale to power on. You can use a paperclip to slightly bend the battery prongs to make them have a better connection. Also some poorly designed batteries have recessed or partially obstructed battery terminals. This may cause your prongs to be touching the plastic housing of the battery instead of the metal battery terminal.

OPERATION and CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
The FLIPSCALE Fi is very easy to operate. However, there are certain caring and operation instructions you should read before your first use We know taking the time to read these instructions is time consuming, but this scale is a precision instrument and must be handled with the utmost care.
IMPORTANT:
1)To open the scale simply lift up on the cover
2) To release the jewelers slide the black switch on the bottom
of the scale.*! be extra careful to re-install the scoop correctly!
Be certain it is not prying up on the tray*There is a storage slot
inside the Carrying pouch to hold your gemstone tweezers.
3) Always empty the tray/platform before turning the power on (clear
the platform before turning on)
4) Do not get the scale wet or hot and do not operate on any wet or
hot surface To clean the scale, wipe the surface with a clean damp
cloth or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use an abrasive
cleaner because it may damage the finish.
5) Do not overload the scale. That is, do not place anything that
weighs more then 200 Grams on the platform. You may
permanently damage the load cell.
6) Handle the scale with care. This is a precision instrument and
should never be dropped or otherwise mishandled
7) Do not leave anything on the scale when not in use.
8) If the scale is excessively cold or hot, allow the scale to warm up to
normal room temperature for at least 1 hour prior to use.
9) Do not operate a cell phone or cordless phone within 10 feet
of the scale**** It may temporarily cause the scale to malfunction
10) If the scale shows the Low Battery animation or if the battery symbol remains on during use, please replace the batteries.
11) In the unlikely event that the scale permanently “locks up” or shows
ERR, visit www.FLIPSCALE.com for Advanced Troubleshooting.
12) In the unlikely event your scale should require recalibration
please refer to the calibration instructions in this manual.
13) Please keep your scale in it’s protective pouch when not in use.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
1. Do not put anything on the scale tray before you turn it on.
2. Turn the scale on by pressing ON. The Power On Animation will display, then the display will show 0.0g.
3. Always allow the scale to warm up for several seconds before weighing for accuracy & stability.
4. Place the item to be weighed on the center of the silver platform and read the value on the display.
5. TARE Function: If you need to weigh loose items or anything in a container or tray you should: 1) Turn the scale On. 2) Place the empty container or tray on the platform. 3) Press the TARE button. 4) Place the items to be weighed into the container / tray. 5) The exact weight of the items will show. (use your tweezers to handle all gems)
6. The scale has an Auto-Off feature that turns off the scale after lapses of non-activity. If the scale is in a room with wind or air movement, it may sense the pressure of the air and not auto-off. In this case simply press off to turn the scale off manually.
7. MODE Function: This scale has the ability to weigh in grams, ounces, pennyweights, carats or troy ounces. The selection is done by simply pressing the MODE key once the scale is on (Look for the g, oz, dwt, ct or ozt on the top of the display).
8. Temperature: The recommended operating temperature is 64-82F (16-25C)Please only operate the scale at recommended temperatures.
CAPACITY OF SCALE: 200G ACCURACY + / - 0.1G

CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS SCALE IS ACCURATE WITHIN 0.1g, only calibrate if your readings are inaccurate beyond 0.1g. Allow your scale to warm up for several seconds before calibration. Always move your hands very gently during calibration as to not cause vibrations or air movement.

Simple calibration
1. Turn on the scale and wait for “0.0g” to appear
2. Put a 100g standard weight on the platform and wait until it is stable.
3. Press and hold the MODE button for several seconds until the display flashes 100.0 twice.
Calibration is complete, release the MODE button and remove the weight from the platform.

If your readings are still inaccurate, perform calibration again.. If your scale will not properly calibrate or shows “err” please visit our website for advanced calibration & troubleshooting instructions

BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS
Use 2 CR2032 3volt batteries. Please make sure the polarity is correct when installing new batteries. Slide the locking switch near the battery cover to access batteries. Low batteries are the #1 cause of scale malfunction so be sure your batteries are good.

Advanced Stability Feature (ASF)
The FLIPSCALE Fi has a stability indicator symbol in the bottom left corner of the screen. Whenever the symbol is displayed that means the displayed weight is stable.

Tools (onboard)
The FLIPSCALE Fi has on-board tools for handling gems and other loose materials. You can find an on-board scoop and tweezers on the bottom of the scale (the tweezers are exposed when the scoop is removed).

EXPANSION TRAY AND BOWL FOR LOOSE ITEMS
There is a platform expansion tray and bowl included in the box. They are designed to fit on top of the metal tray. Simply instal the tray or bowl and then turn the scale ON.

Words of Advice:
The FLIPSCALE Fi is the most innovative, interactive pocket scale ever created. Please remember that this is a precision instrument. It is essential that you never drop, shake or otherwise mishandle this instrument. Electronic precision scales use delicate sensors that can easily be damaged if the scale is excessively shocked, dropped or overloaded. If you treat your FLIPSCALE Fi well, it will serve you well for many years.
Please be good to your FLIPSCALE !
