F. USER CALIBRATION
In case the scale loses its accuracy, then a recalibration of the scale may be needed. The load cell of this
precision scale is normally protected against overloaded weight applied slowly, but overload caused by
dropping the scale or dropping something heavy on the scale may require recalibration.
CAUTION: Please do not attempt any calibration by yourself unless you have 1-oz and 5-lb weight available.
Otherwise the scale will render itself into a useless state and requires servicing. If the scale did comefrom a
colder or warmer environment,let it first stay for sometime to be at the same temperature as your current
environment.
Plug the main adapter to the power supply. The scale will turn on and display ©Elane then Selftest. Press the
CAN/4 key while it displays Selftest. The scale will then ask you to put a1-oz weight followed by 5-lb weight on
the platform. After putting the weight on the platform, the scale will indicate that you need to wait as it
automatically recalibrates the scale. When it is done, the scale will restart automatically. Follow scale prompts
to ensure successful scale calibration.
