display that weight the next time the unit is turned on. The LOCK annunciator will be on to
show that the weight displayed is a stored value and not the current weight.
9. The indicator will briefly display DONE, and then reset to the Operation weight mode.
NOTE: The display will be locked if the display LOC feature has been enabled.
