I searched for this here and on the net, and I'd call the place from which I bought it, but they won't be open again until Monday. I received my new GD503 today, and it's been calibrated and certified legal for trade. There's a door on the bottom with a tamper seal on it that locks out the calibration function, which keeps it legal. Unfortunately, it will only toggle between grams and carats.
I need to know: if I cut the seal and flip the switch, will I be able to set the secondary weight (what it will switch to when I push the blue "F" button) to grains? I'd hate to void its being legal for trade if I still won't be able to use it. Anyone with experience with this, I appreciate your input! Thanks.
EDIT: Flipping the switch was all that was needed. When I first opened the panel I didn't see the switch because it sits on top of a metal bar and just barely protrudes beyond it. I used the dull end of my knife to slide it over and then everything worked as the manual suggests.
