3.4 Weighing Items

• Ensure the scale is on and set to your desired unit.
• Place the item(s) directly onto the tempered glass platform or into a tared container.
• Read the weight displayed on the LED screen. The scale provides stable and accurate readings quickly due to its four highly sensitive sensors.

• Scale Not Turning On: Check if the main power switch is in the 'ON' position. Ensure the battery is charged; connect the USB-C cable to charge if the battery is low.
• Display Errors (e.g., "EEEE"): This usually indicates an overload. Remove items from the scale immediately to prevent damage.
