 Filter 3: unstable conditions
 Stability: this function allows you to adjust the

balance to the working environment. When
using the balance in a vibration-free
environment, select level 0. The default level
is 2. Use level 3 for very disturbed
environments.
 Stability 0: For stable environments.

 Stability 1: For poorly stable
environments.
 Stability 2: For unstable environments.
 Stability 3: For heavily unstable
environments.

 Auto-zero: automatic zero constantly adjusts
the weight value shown to zero. Variations
may be due to dirt, moisture or dust that can
be deposited on the plate. You can disable
this function by selecting "Off" mode.
Autozero 1 is for minor correction until it
