1.2 Initial Calibration
For the most accurate results, place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Avoid carpets or uneven surfaces. Initialize the scale by pressing one foot on it to see random numbers on the screen. Remove your foot as the display returns to zero (0.0). The scale is now calibrated and ready for use. This calibration should be performed each time the scale is moved.
