Tare Function
The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so you only measure the net weight of the contents.
- Place an empty container on the weighing platform. The display will show its weight.
- Press the "T" (Tare) button. The display will reset to "0.00g".
- Add the items you wish to weigh into the container. The display will show only the weight of the items.

Counting Function (PCS)
The counting function is useful for counting multiple small, identical items.
- Turn on the scale and place the weighing tray on the platform.
- Press the "T" (Tare) button to zero the display.
- Place a sample quantity of items (e.g., 20, 50, 75, or 100 pieces) onto the tray.
- Long-press the "PCS" button until the display flashes. Then, press the "M" button to select the sample quantity you placed (e.g., "20", "50"). Press "PCS" again to confirm.
- Remove the sample. Now, when you place any quantity of the same items on the tray, the scale will display the total count of items.

Maintenance
- Cleaning:
Wipe the scale with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. The stainless steel platform is easy to clean.
