- Do not overload the scale beyond its maximum capacity of 50 kg.
- Avoid exposing the scale to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
- Do not immerse the scale in water or other liquids. Clean with a damp cloth only.
- Keep the scale away from strong electromagnetic fields, which may affect accuracy.
- Use only the specified battery type (2 AAA micro batteries). Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.
- If the scale will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

5.3 Tare Function
The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container or packaging, so only the net weight of the contents is measured.
- Place an empty container onto the weighing platform. The display will show its weight.
- Press the ON/OFF/TARE button. The display will reset to "0.00".
- Add the items to be weighed into the container. The display will now show only the weight of the items.
5.4 Unit Conversion (kg/lb)
To switch between kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb), locate the unit conversion button. This may be a dedicated button or a function integrated with the ON/OFF/TARE button (e.g., a long press). Press this button to toggle between the available units.
5.5 Calibration
The scale allows for user calibration to maintain accuracy over time. Refer to the specific calibration procedure outlined in the full manufacturer's manual for detailed steps. Typically, this involves a specific sequence of button presses and the use of a known calibration weight (not included).
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale's surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. The weighing surface is stainless steel, which is easy to clean.
- Storage: Store the scale in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two AAA batteries promptly to ensure continued accurate operation.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scale does not turn on | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries. | Replace batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Inaccurate readings | Scale not on a level surface; overloaded; interference; needs calibration. | Place on a stable, level surface. Do not exceed 50 kg. Remove nearby electronic devices. Perform user calibration if necessary. |
| "Err" or "O-Ld" displayed | Scale is overloaded. | Remove item immediately. Do not exceed 50 kg. |
| Display shows "Lo" | Low battery power. | Replace batteries. |
