Weighing Your First Item

Things To Avoid

Tare Function
The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container so that the display only shows the weight of the contents.

• Place an empty tray or container on the platform.
• Press the TARE key to subtract the container’s weight.
• Add items to the container to see their weight on the display.

NOTE: The weight of the container will subtract from the available capacity and will leave a negative value on the display once the weight is removed. Press TARE again to return the display to zero.

Auto-Off
By default, the scale will auto-off after 300 seconds of inactivity. To change or disable the auto-off timer:

1. Turn the scale off and hold down the MODE key, at the same time quickly press ON/OFF key 6/7 times until 180 is displayed, release the buttons.
2. Press the MODE key to cycle through your choices of 0/180/300/600 seconds.
3. Press ON/OFF to confirm, the scale will turn off.

NOTE: If user chooses “O” (Auto-Off function disabled) then improve battery life by turning off after each use. Accuracy
Your scale comes calibrated from the factory and most users won’t need to calibrate their scale for a long time. You should check your scale’s accuracy periodically using calibration weights and perform calibration if necessary.

NOTE: Only use trusted calibration weights. Household items l.lj such as bottles and cans with weights printed on the side are not suitable for checking accuracy as these values are approximate and don’t include the container weight (Net Weight).

Calibration

Calibration adjustment is permanent and should only be performed using accurate calibration weights that match the requirements for your scale (see the chart on back). Do not use coins or other household items to calibrate.

1. Prepare calibration weights.
2. Find a flat and level surface to perform calibration and let the scale adjust to room temperature.
3. Press ON/OFF to turn the scale on and wait for the scale to stabilize.
4. Press and hold the MODE key until the display shows ‘CAL’. Release the MODE key.
5. Make sure nothing is on the platform then press MODE to confirm the zero point.
6. The display will then flash the required weight. Place a calibration weight on the centre of the platform.
7. The display will show ‘PASS’ then return to normal weighing mode.
8. You may now turn the scale off or continue weighing.
