3.3 Tare Function
The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so you only measure the weight of its contents.
- Place an empty container on the scale platform. The display will show the container's weight.
- Gently touch the 'Z/T ON/OFF' button. The display will reset to zero, effectively taring the container's weight.
- Add the item you wish to weigh into the container. The display will now show only the net weight of the item.
