6. Calibration

The Generic ATP188 scale features automatic calibration upon startup. However, if you notice inconsistencies in readings or after prolonged use, manual calibration may be required. A calibration weight (e.g., 200g) is typically needed for this process (not included).

Manual Calibration Steps (General):

2. Press and hold the [MODE] or [UNIT] button (depending on model) until "CAL" appears on the display.
3. Release the button, and the display will flash the required calibration weight (e.g., "200.00g").
4. Carefully place the exact calibration weight (e.g., 200g) onto the center of the weighing platform.
5. The display will show "PASS" or a similar indication, then return to normal weighing mode. Calibration is complete.
6. Remove the calibration weight and turn off the scale.

Note: Specific calibration procedures may vary slightly. Refer to the packaging or manufacturer's website for precise instructions if needed.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or immerse the scale in water.
• Storage: Store the scale in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Keep the protective cover closed to prevent dust and damage to the weighing platform.
