CALIBRATION
Whentocalibrate-calibrationisalmostneverrequired.
If the scale is inaccurate, calibration may be desired when the scale is rst set up for use, or if the
scale is moved to a dierent altitude or gravitation. This is necessary because the weight of a mass
in one location is not necessarily the same in another location. Also, with time and use, mechanical
deviations can occur.

How to calibrate
**you must have an accurate the full load kilogram weight or combination of weights in order to
calibrate**
1. The scale must be powered OFF. Press and hold [ZERO] rst, then Press [ON/OFF] while keeping
the [ZERO] button depressed, then release both keys. The display will show the A/D value (a series
of random numbers).
2. Wait for the stable indicator to be displayed, Press [UNIT] the display will show “0SAVE”, then the
display will return to the random A/D value.
3. Place the full load kilograms weight(s) on platform. Wait for the stable indicator to display, then
press [UNIT], the display will show “0SAVE”. Calibration is complete, remove the weight(s).
4. Turn the scale OFF (Press the ON/OFF key) , then turn it back ON and check some weight readings.
If calibration is still incorrect, repeat calibration but try it more slowly.
If calibration is repeatedly incorrect then: 1) Replace the batteries, 2) Try a more stable surface or
vibration and interference free location, 3) Be sure there is no static electricity on the scale (use an
anti- static spray to remove static electricity)

and cause the scale to temporarily not work properly. Please do not use any electronic device near
the shipping scale. Just like in an Airplane, do not use your cell-phone near the scale when it is in
use. While there is NO risk of permanent damage to the scale, interference can cause an incorrect
calibration or incorrect weight readings.
