CALIBRATION
• For optimal performance, turn unit on and allow 5-15
minutes to warm up.
• Verify powder pan has been removed and the steel scale
plate is empty.
• Press UNITS/CAL button for three seconds until unit
displays “CAL ---“.
• When 10.00g is flashing, place the 10g weight on the
center of the scale plate. The unit will show “---- --”
while calibrating the 10g weight.
• When 10.00g appears again, remove the weight. After
calibration, the unit will briefly display “PASS” before
returning to normal operation.
TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
1. Fluctuations in temperature, even a few degrees, can
cause scale readings to vary. While the scale can be
used immediately, optimal performance will occur after
unit has warmed up for 5-15 minutes.
2. Always place the scale on a flat, level, and stable
surface when in operation.
3. Electrical interference can cause scale readings to vary.
Keep other electronic devices (power strips, motors,
radios, phones, etc.) away from scale when in operation.
4. Do not let a fan, AC, heater, or open window blow
on scale.
