Setup
Battery Installation

Open the compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators, and close the compartment securely.

Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
To turn the scale on, gently tap the Power Control button (rightmost button with a circle and vertical line). The display will illuminate. To turn the scale off, tap and hold the Power Control button for a few seconds until the display turns off. The scale also features an automatic shut-off after five minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Unit Conversion
To change the unit of measurement, tap the Unit Control button (button with a droplet and 'UNIT'). The scale cycles through available units: ounces (oz), pounds + ounces (lb:oz), grams (g), fluid ounces (fl oz), and milliliters (ml).
Tare Feature
The Tare feature allows you to reset the scale to zero weight, enabling you to measure multiple items consecutively or subtract the weight of a container. Place an empty container on the scale, then tap the TARE button (leftmost button). The display will reset to zero, and you can then add your ingredients to the container.
Display Hold
The Display Hold function is useful when weighing large items that might obscure the display. Place the item on the scale, then tap the HOLD button (middle button). The measurement will be locked on the display even after the item is removed from the scale.
