Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the scale's functions for efficient weighing:
- Power On/Off: Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale on. The display will show "HELLO" and then "0.0" or "0.00" when ready. Press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn the scale off.
- Changing Units: Press the UNIT button to cycle through available measurement units: pounds (lb), ounces (oz), pounds:ounces (lb:oz), and kilograms (kg).
- Zero/Tare Function:
- To zero the scale (reset to 0.0 with nothing on the platter), press the ZERO button.
- To tare a container (subtract the weight of a container to weigh only its contents), place the empty container on the platter and press the ZERO button. The display will reset to 0.0, and you can then add items to the container.
- Hold Function: Press the HOLD button to lock the displayed weight. This is useful for weighing large packages that might obscure the display. Press HOLD again to release the reading.
