4.3 Tare Function
The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container or attachment, so you only measure the net weight of the item. To use Tare:
- Hang the empty container or attachment onto the hook (7).
- Wait for the display to stabilize.
- Press the TARE button (6). The display will reset to "0.00".
- Place the item to be weighed into the container. The display will show only the weight of the item.
4.4 Hold Modes
The H-110 offers three hold modes, selectable by pressing the HOLD button (4):
- No Hold: The display shows real-time weight fluctuations. This is useful for continuous monitoring or when precise timing of a reading is not critical.
- Auto Hold: The scale will automatically lock and display the weight once it stabilizes. This is ideal for weighing items that might sway or when you need to remove the item to read the display.
- Peak Hold: This mode captures and displays the maximum weight detected during a measurement. It is particularly useful for applications like measuring bow draw force or peak loads.
4.5 Using the Built-in Tape Measure
The H-110 scale includes a retractable tape measure (8) for convenient length measurements. To use it, gently pull the tape measure out from the side of the scale. After use, release it slowly to retract it back into the housing.

- Battery Replacement: If the display shows "LO" or becomes dim, replace both CR2032 batteries promptly. Remove batteries if the scale will not be used for an extended period.
