7. Troubleshooting

• "Lo" or Low Battery Indication: If the display shows "Lo" or a low battery icon, replace both AAA batteries with new ones.
• "O-Ld" or Overload Indication: If the display shows "O-Ld", the item being weighed exceeds the maximum capacity of 110 lbs (50 kg). Remove the item immediately to prevent damage to the scale.
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is held steady and the item is not touching the ground or any other surface during weighing. Recalibrate by turning the scale off and on, then re-weigh.
• Scale Does Not Turn On: Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity. Ensure batteries are not depleted.

8. Care and Maintenance

• Clean the scale with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
• Store the scale in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Avoid dropping the scale or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this may affect its accuracy.
• Remove batteries if the scale will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
