5. Setup and Initial Calibration

1. Unpack the Scale: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging.
2. Placement: Place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Avoid carpets, rugs, or uneven flooring, as these can affect accuracy.
3. Initial Calibration: If the scale has been transported or moved, it requires initial calibration.
   • Gently tap your foot on the surface of the scale.
   • Observe the pointer on the dial. If it does not point to 0.0 kg, locate the adjustment wheel (usually at the base or side of the scale).
   • Turn the adjustment wheel left or right until the pointer aligns precisely with the 0.0 kg mark.
   • Repeat this process if necessary to ensure accurate zeroing.

6. Operating the Scale

1. Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat surface and the pointer is set to 0.0 kg.
2. Step onto the scale carefully and stand still. For best accuracy, step on barefoot.
3. Wait for the pointer to stabilize.
4. Read your weight from the analogue dial. The scale displays weight in 500-gram increments.
5. Step off the scale. The pointer will return to zero.

7. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature.
• Avoid Impact: Protect the scale from strong impacts or dropping, as this can damage the internal mechanism.

8. Troubleshooting

Inaccurate Readings:

• Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface. Soft surfaces like carpets can cause inaccuracies.
• Verify that the pointer is set to 0.0 kg before each use. If not, recalibrate using the adjustment wheel as described in Section 5.
• Initial results may vary if the scale has just been moved or is new. Allow it to settle and perform the calibration steps.

Pointer Not Returning to Zero:

• This indicates the scale needs recalibration. Adjust the zero point using the adjustment wheel until the pointer rests exactly on 0.0 kg.
