CD-Scale v2.0 User’s Manual Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh CD Scale v2.0. Please read all operating instructions carefully before use. This electronic scale is a precision instrument. With normal care proper treatment, it will provide years of reliable service. Never load the scale with more than the maximum capacity since overloading can permanently damage it!
