Tare
- Press to store weight as tare. Afterwards, the indication ”TARE” will appear and the weight indication turns to zero.
Important: If weight is over 100% F.S, or less than 0, the tare function
will not work.
The tare function will also not work if the weight is not stable or placed
properly on the scale.
Taring will reduce scale’s apparent overloading range. For example, if a 10kg
container is tared and scale’s maximum capacity is 50kg, the scale will
overload at a new weight of 40.18kg (50-10+9 divisions)
- Press to restore tare. The ”TARE” indication will hide and the weight will resume in gross mode.
Hold function
-
Press to lock the display. The indiation ”HOLD” will appear and the measured value will be frozen.
-
Press again to turn off the ”hold unit” function. The indication ”HOLD” will disappear and the display will resume refreshing the measured value.
Switching between measuring units

- Press to zero the scale. The ”ZERO” indication will appear on the device’s screen and the measured value will turn to zero.
Important: The zero function will not work if the weight is tared,
unstable or not properly placed on the scale.

range.
