Battery Installation & Replacement
1. Remove the battery cover from the rear of the control box by compressing tab at the base of
the battery cover.
2. If necessary, remove old set of batteries.
3. Insert 4 ‘AAA’ Alkaline batteries. Replace battery cover by aligning tabs and snapping back
into place.
IMPORTANT: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE DS-220, CAREFULLY OBSERVE BATTERY
POLARITY AS MARKED INSIDE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. DO NOT LEAVE DEAD
BATTERIES INSIDE THE CONTROL BOX. REMOVE BATTERIES IF THE DS-220 IS NOT TO
BE USED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
Resolution
The resolution (minimum incremental weight or volume) that can be displayed by the DS-220 can
be adjusted to make the display easier to read. Unstable loads or high winds can cause the
display to fluctuate erratically. By reducing the display resolution, external influences can be
minimized. As shipped, the DS-220 is set to MEDIUM resolution, suitable for most purposes. The
resolution can be changed to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH by repeated pressing on the keypad.
Table 1 illustrates the displayed resolution for each weight and units mode vs. resolution.
Regardless of the resolution setting, the scale operates internally with the highest resolution;
therefore, only the displayed value is affected.
