• The scale surface features an anti-skid rubber texture. However, exercise caution when stepping on or off the scale, especially if your feet are wet.

3. Setup and Calibration

Before using your Adamson A21 Analog Scale for the first time, or if you move it to a new location, it is important to calibrate it to ensure accuracy.

Initial Setup:

1. Unpack the scale carefully.
2. Place the scale on a firm, level surface, such as tile or hardwood flooring. Avoid placing it on carpets or rugs.

Calibration Procedure:

1. Check the Pointer: Observe the dial to ensure the pointer is aligned with the '0' mark.
2. Adjust the Wheel: If the pointer is not at '0', locate the small calibration wheel, typically found on the underside or side of the scale. Gently turn this wheel until the pointer rests precisely on the '0' mark.
3. Your scale is now calibrated and ready for use. It is recommended to perform this quick calibration before each use for optimal accuracy.

4. Operating Instructions

Using your Adamson A21 Analog Scale is straightforward:

1. Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat surface and has been calibrated to '0' as described in Section 3.
2. Step onto the center of the scale with both feet. Stand still and distribute your weight evenly.
3. Wait for the pointer on the dial to stabilize.
4. Read your weight measurement from the dial. The scale displays measurements in pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg).
5. Step off the scale. The pointer will return to '0'.

6. Troubleshooting

Inaccurate Readings:

• Incorrect Calibration: Ensure the pointer is set to '0' before each use. Refer to Section 3 for calibration instructions.
• Uneven Surface: Verify that the scale is placed on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Carpets or uneven floors can affect accuracy.
• Movement During Measurement: Stand still and centered on the scale during measurement. Any movement can cause fluctuations.
