   1. The image on the top right shows an optional scale display extension: instead of plugging the display directly into the side of the scale, plug the display into this extension, and then plug the extension into the scale.
   2. The image on the bottom right shows an optional wall/surface mounting kit for the scale display.

5. After setting up your display and scale, make sure your scale is inspected and certified before use. The government requires scales used in retail to be inspected and certified as "legal for trade". This scale certification is to ensure that the vendor is fairly representing the amount of product during a sale, and that your scale is properly calibrated and reading correctly. Learn more about scale seals and certifications in this Support Center article, .
