• Press the TARE key once. The display will then reset to zero. If the container is removed, its weight will be displayed as a negative number.
• You may now fill the container with the quantity to be weighed. The display will show the net weight of the contents.
• To return to normal weight display, remove any items from the weighing platform and press the TARE key again to re-zero the scale.

What should I do if the scale will not turn on?

Check the batteries.

What should I do if the displayed weight fluctuates randomly?

Make sure your workspace is stable and free of any air currents or vibration.

What does the error code “OUTZ” mean?

What does the error code “Err” mean?

Maximum capacity may be exceeded. Remove the extra weight to avoid damaging the load cell.

What does the error code “UNST” mean?

Scale is unstable. Use the scale in a more stable position.

What should I keep in mind to ensure years of reliable service?

• Do not exceed the scale’s maximum capacity. Overloading your scale can permanently damage it.
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales perform best at normal room temperature. If temperatures have changed dramatically, calibration and adjustment may be necessary.
• Use a damp cloth to clean your scale. Do not use harsh detergents or corrosives.
• Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt, and moisture can accumulate on the weighing sensors and electronics causing inaccuracy or malfunction.
• Avoid using your scale in close proximity to strong radio wave emitting devices such as cell phones.
• Always weigh on a flat and level surface, free from vibrations and drafts.
• Gently apply all items to be weighed. Do not drop items onto the weighing platform.
• Avoid dropping your scale. The warranty does not cover damage due to rough treatment or overload.
• Check the batteries first if you are having any trouble with your scale. This simple step can remedy most scale issues.
• Do not disassemble your scale. This product contains no user serviceable parts.
