6.2 Changing Weighing Units

With the scale on, press the M (MODE) button to cycle through the available weighing units: grams (g), ounces (oz), grains (gn), carats (ct), troy ounces (ozt), and pennyweights (dwt).

6.3 Tare Function

The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so only the weight of the contents is measured.

1. Place the empty container on the weighing platform.
2. Press the ⓘ/T button. The display will reset to "0.00g".
3. Add the items to be weighed into the container. The display will show the net weight of the items.

2. If using a container, perform the tare function (see 6.3).
3. Gently place the item(s) to be weighed on the center of the weighing platform.
4. Read the stable weight displayed on the LCD.

6.5 Piece Counting (PCS) Function

This function allows you to count a large number of items of the same weight.

1. Turn on the scale and wait for "0.00g".
2. Press and hold the PCS button until "PCS" appears on the display, followed by a sample size (e.g., "25", "50", "75", "100").
3. Press the M (MODE) button to select the desired sample size (e.g., 25, 50, 75, 100 pieces).
4. Place the exact number of sample pieces (e.g., 25 pieces) onto the weighing platform.
5. Press the PCS button again to confirm the sample. The display will show "PCS" and the number of sample pieces.
6. You can now add more items of the same type, and the scale will display the total count.
7. To exit counting mode, press the M (MODE) button.

7. Calibration

Calibration ensures the accuracy of your scale. It is recommended to calibrate the scale periodically or if you suspect inaccurate readings. A calibration weight is included with your scale.

1. Turn on the scale and wait for "0.00g".
2. Press and hold the CAL button until the display shows "CAL".
3. Release the CAL button. The display will then show the required calibration weight (e.g., "200.00g").
4. Place the specified calibration weight (e.g., 200g) gently onto the center of the weighing platform.
5. The display will show "PASS" and then return to normal weighing mode ("0.00g"). This indicates successful calibration.
6. Remove the calibration weight.

Note: Ensure the calibration weight matches the value displayed on the scale during the calibration process.
