3. Follow the on-screen instructions to place the required calibration weight on the platform.
4. Wait for the display to stabilize and confirm calibration.
5. Remove the weight and turn the scale off and on again to exit calibration mode.

Note: Specific calibration procedures may vary slightly by model. If detailed instructions were included with your product, please follow those for the most accurate calibration.
