Note: Avoid scale placement near heating/cooling vents, heating appliances, areas of high airflow or direct sunlight. Calibration must be done in a controlled environment.

Note: Only weights certified and traceable to national standards should be used for calibration procedures.

1. Press and hold the ZERO/TARE and UNIT buttons at the same time, then press and release the button to power on the scale. Remain pressing ZERO/TARE and UNIT buttons until “CAL” appears on the display. Release all buttons.
2. Once the buttons are released the following message will display, “CAL99”, “CAL98” etc., until the display counts down to zero. This allows the load cells time to settle before calibration starts.

4. The scale will zero and “PLACE 5 ON SCALE PrESS HOLd” will scroll across the screen.
5. Place a certified 5kg weight on the center of the weighing tray/seat, then press HOLD/RELEASE. “CAL” will flash on the screen while the scale is calibrating.
   A. If the weight is within calibration range, a five digit number will be displayed for approximately 5 seconds then display the calibration weight. Remove the weight from the scale and the scale will restart.
   B. If the weight placed on the scale does not match the correct calibration standard (5 kg), “Out OF RANGE” will appear on the display. Calibration is not performed. Press UNIT to exit calibration mode. Obtain the correct amount of calibration weight and begin the calibration process again.
