Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
To clean the scale, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, or immerse the scale in water, as this can damage the electronic components.
Storage
Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity. Do not place heavy objects on the scale when not in use, as this may affect its calibration over time.
Battery Replacement
When the display shows "Lo", it indicates low battery. Replace all 3 AAA batteries simultaneously to ensure optimal performance and accurate readings. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
