Troubleshooting
Scale not turning on or displaying "Low Battery": Ensure the scale is fully charged using the provided Type-C cable. If the issue persists, try a different compatible Type-C cable and power adapter.
Inaccurate readings: Ensure the scale is placed on a flat, stable, and level surface. Avoid placing it near sources of vibration or drafts. Recalibrate if necessary (refer to specific calibration instructions if available in a separate guide, as this model does not detail user calibration).
Tare function not working: Make sure no weight is on the scale before pressing the tare button, or that the weight of the container is stable before taring.
Timer not starting/stopping automatically: In automatic timing mode, ensure the brewing process involves pouring liquid onto the scale. The sensor detects changes in weight to trigger the timer.
