3. Operating Instructions
Your AMIR Digital Kitchen Scale features intuitive button functions for ease of use.
- Power On/Off: Press the On/Off button to turn the scale on or off. The display will show '88888' and then '0.00g' when ready.
- Unit Conversion: Press the M (Mode) button to cycle through the available measurement units: grams (g), troy ounces (tl), ounces (oz), carats (ct), pennyweights (dwt), and grains (gn).
- Tare Function: To weigh items in a container, place the empty container on the platform and press the T (Tare) button. The display will reset to '0.00'. You can then add your items to the container, and the scale will display only the net weight of the items.
- PCS (Counting) Function: This function allows you to count multiple pieces of uniform weight (e.g., pins, beads, screws).
- With the scale on and showing '0.00', press and hold the PCS button until a sample quantity (e.g., '25', '50', '75', '100') appears.
- Place the corresponding number of sample items on the platform.
- Press the PCS button again to confirm the sample. The scale is now calibrated for counting.
- Add more items, and the display will show the total count.
- Auto-Off Feature: The scale is designed to automatically turn off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life. The default auto-off time can be set to 60, 120, or 180 seconds. Refer to the full user manual for instructions on adjusting this setting.

- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always use new AAA batteries.
