- You can now add more items, and the scale will count them based on the sample weight.
Calibration
The scale is factory calibrated, but re-calibration may be necessary over time for optimal accuracy. Calibration is possible with 1000g and 2000g weights (not included).
- Ensure the scale is on a stable, level surface and turned off.
- Press and hold the Mode (M) button, then press the Power (⑂) button simultaneously. Release both buttons when the display shows "CAL".
- The display will then show the required calibration weight (e.g., "1000g").
- Place the exact specified calibration weight (e.g., 1000g) onto the center of the weighing platform.
- Wait for the display to stabilize and show "PASS" or the next calibration weight (e.g., "2000g").
- If prompted for a second weight, place the 2000g calibration weight on the platform.
- Once calibration is complete, the scale will return to normal weighing mode. Remove the calibration weights.
