How to Calibrate
The Scout has two methods of calibration: Span and Linearity. Following is a quick guide on how to
perform a Span calibration. Span calibration uses two calibration points: zero and a specified calibration
weight (usually full scale capacity).
You can also click here to view a short video on this topic.
Before or during calibration:
a) Have the appropriate calibration masses ready
b) Clear any obstructions around the pan; make sure the transportation lock under the pan and the
security switch under the unit are unlocked
c) The unit is on for at least 5 minutes to warm up and stabilize
d) The unit is level
e) The location is stable: avoid vibrations, drafts, electromagnetic fields and extreme temperatures
You can also download the user manual here –refer to Section 3.3: Calibration Operation and the spec
table for available calibration mass requirements.

How to Switch Between Units of Measure
Long-press [PRINT Units] to scroll through the enabled units of measure.
If the desired unit of measure is not displayed, make sure it is enabled in the UNIT Menu (see previous
section: How to turn on units of measure).
5. The span value is displayed –place the specified
calibration mass on the pan (in this example: 400g)
Optionally, you can press [NO] at this time to toggle through
other available span values.
As the balance detects the correct calibration mass on the
pan, --C-- flashes while the span value is stored
DONE flashes when calibration is complete.
The balance returns to the active weighing mode.
Note: To abort calibration, press [EXIT] instead before the process is DONE (CAL-E will flash before returning to the active weighing
mode; the original calibration data is retained).
1. Press and hold [PRINT Unit] to scroll through the enabled
units of measure.
In this example, the scale is scrolling through grams (g) and
ounces (oz).
2. Release the button once the desired unit of measure is
displayed.
In this example, back to grams ("g").
