7. Special Functions

7.1. Hold Function

The Hold function allows you to lock the displayed weight, even after removing the item from the platform. This is particularly useful for weighing large or awkwardly shaped items that might obstruct the display.

Place the item on the platform and wait for the weight to stabilize.
Press the HOLD button. The displayed weight will be locked, and the "HOLD" indicator will appear.
You can now remove the item from the platform, and the weight will remain displayed.
To exit the Hold function, press the HOLD button again.

Demonstration of the Hold function. A box is weighed, then the HOLD button is pressed, locking the weight on the display even after the box is removed. — The Hold function allows you to lock the weight on the display for easy reading, even after removing heavy packages.

7.2. Tare Function

The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so you can measure only the net weight of its contents.

Place an empty container on the weighing platform. The display will show its weight.
Press the TARE button. The display will reset to "0.00", effectively subtracting the container's weight.
Now, place the items you wish to weigh into the container. The display will show only the net weight of the items.
To clear the Tare function, remove the container from the platform and press the TARE button again.

Demonstration of the Tare function. Step 1 shows an empty pet bed on the scale. Step 2 shows the scale tared to zero, and a cat placed in the bed, displaying only the cat's weight. — The Tare function allows you to easily remove the container weight to obtain the net weight of items.

7.3. Auto-Off Function

The scale features an automatic shut-off function to conserve battery life. You can adjust the auto-off time or disable it.

The scale can be set to automatically turn off after 60, 180, or 300 seconds of inactivity.
If the auto-off time is set to 0, the scale will remain on until manually turned off.
Refer to the specific instructions for setting the auto-off time, usually involving a combination of button presses while turning on the scale (details may vary, consult the quick start guide if provided).
