Origin & Brand
• Brand: A&D Co. Ltd. (AND), based in Korea
• Although it’s a Korean-designed precision balance, it’s often manufactured in China
Capacity & Readability
• Weighing capacity: up to 600 g
• Readability/Resolution: 0.01 g
• Some sources mention minimum readability of ~0.2 g—likely a rounding or marketing variation; 0.01 g is more widely supported.

Key Features & Functions
• Auto shut off: Conserves power by shutting down when idle
• Digital (auto) calibration: Ensures accuracy through self-calibration routines
• Tare & zero reset: Allows net weight measurement by resetting display to zero
• Backlight / dual-side LED or LCD display: Easy reading from multiple angles, especially in low light
• Low battery indicator: Notifies when power is running low
• Weighing units: Supports grams (g), gsm, t, T/A/R conversions, and more depending on model variants (like EK-600i GSM)
