    User Manual
    Gemini-20 Manual

    Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh Gemini-


    20 portable milligram scale. Please read all operating
    instructions carefully before use. This electronic scale
    is a precision instrument. With normal care and proper
    treatment, it will provide years of reliable service.
    Never load the scale with more than the maximum
    capacity. Overloading the scale will permanently
    damage it! Avoid any exposure to extreme heat or
    cold. Your scale works better when operated at normal
    room temperature. Always allow the scale to acclimate
    to normal room temperature for at least one hour
    before use.
    Give your scale sufficient warm up time. Usually
    30-60 seconds before calibration to give the internal
    components a chance to stabilize.
    Keep your scale in a clean environment. Dust, dirt,
    moisture, vibration, air currents and a close distance to
    other electronic equipment can all cause an adverse
    effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
    Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed
    onto tray top. Although this scale is designed to be
    quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this may
    permanently damage the internal sensor.
    Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the
    scale. This is a precision instrument and must be
    handled with extreme care.
    Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free
    surface.
    I. OPERATION
    Place the scale on a flat and level surface.
    1. Press the [ON] key.
    2. Wait until "0.000g” is displayed.
    3. Place the object(s) to be weighed on the weighing
    platform.
    4. Using the [MODE] key, you can switch between the
    weighing units.
    (To weigh using the tray, place it on the platform before
    turning the scale on or use the Tare feature.)

    II. TARE WEIGHING


    Using Tare, you can subtract the weight of a container.
    1. Turn the scale on as described above.
    2. Place the "tare item" on the platform such as a tray
    or container.
    3. Press [TARE] and wait until "0.000g" is displayed.
    4. You can now add items to the tray or container.

    III. CALIBRATION
    Calibration is NOT required before first use. Only
    calibrate if scale is not weighing properly.
    off. Calibration is compete!
    1. Turn the scale on as described above.
    2. Once the scale is at zero, press and hold the [ON]
    key for about 3 seconds. The display will go blank
    briefly then flash “0”. You may now release the [ON]
    key.
    3. The display will show “10.000” and the “g” indicator
    will be flashing.
    4. Place the 10g calibration weight on the center of the
    platform and wait until the “g” indicator stops flashing.
    Calibration is complete!

    IV. TROUBLESHOOTING
    The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction
    are low batteries, incorrect calibration, overload or
    operating on an unstable surface. Please keep this in
    mind and maintain and operate your scale properly.
    This scale is a precise instrument and must be
    handled with the utmost care and caution.
