Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Scale does not turn on | Check battery installation and replace if necessary. Ensure batteries are not depleted. |
| Inaccurate readings | Ensure the scale is held steady and the item is not swinging. Recalibrate if possible (refer to advanced settings if available, though not explicitly mentioned for this model). Ensure the scale is in the correct mode (Propane Tank vs. Regular Scale). |
| Display shows 'Err' | This usually indicates an overload. Remove the item immediately to prevent damage. |
