Tare Function
The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so you only measure the net weight of the contents.

- Press the 'TARE' button. The display will reset to '0.000g'.
- Add the items you wish to weigh into the container. The display will show only the net weight of the items.

PCS Counting Function
The PCS (Piece Counting System) function allows you to count multiple small items of uniform weight.
- Turn on the scale and ensure it displays '0.000g'.
- Press and hold the 'PCS' button until 'PCS' appears on the display, followed by a sample quantity (e.g., '25', '50', '75', '100').
- Press the 'MODE' button to select your desired sample quantity (e.g., 25, 50, 75, or 100 pieces).
- Place the exact number of items corresponding to your selected sample quantity onto the weighing platform.
- Press the 'PCS' button again to confirm the sample. The scale is now calibrated for counting.
- You can now add more items, and the display will show the total count of items.
- To exit PCS mode, press the 'MODE' button.
Calibration
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your scale. Use the included 50g calibration weight.
