OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INITIAL SETUP:
Open the battery cover located beneath the scale and place the included AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure that the batteries’ +1- terminals are correctly oriented.
To turn on the scale, place it on a hard, even surface and press the On/Off/Tare button located to the right of the LCD screen.
To turn off the scale, first ensure there is nothing on the weighing platform (the LCD should display zero). Then press and hold the On/Off/Tare button.
2-5 MINUTE AUTO-OFF FEATURE:
The scale will automatically power off after 2 minutes of inactivity. This setting can be increased to 5 minutes by pressing and holding the UNIT button for 3 seconds, until the number ‘5” flashes on the LCD. To reset the auto-off period to 2 minutes. press and hold the UNIT” button again for 3 seconds, until the number “2” flashes on the LCD. The scale will also reset to its default 2 minute auto power off setting after it turns off.
WEIGHING MODE:
Turn the scale on and gently place an item at the center of the weighing platform. The weight will immediately display on the screen. If the object is uneven, the scale may fine-tune the computed weight during the first 2 or 3 seconds of measurement. Be sure to always gently place objects in the center of the scales’ weighing platform. Do not leave an object on the scale’s weighing platform for an extended period of time.
CHANGING THE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT:
When the scale is powered on, simply press the unit button to the left of the LCD screen to change between ounces (oz), milliliters (ml), grams (g), pounds (lb), pound: ounce (lb: oz), and kilogram (kg). You can also change the unit of measurement while an object is on the scale. The scale will remember the unit of measurement you last selected each time it is turned on.
Note: The milliliter measurement is an approximation of fluid measure and assumes that you are measuring a liquid such as water or oil, and not a powder or thick emulsion.
USING THE TARE FEATURE:
Use the tare feature to automatically subtract the weight of a bowl or plate, and determine the net weight of the ingredients being weighed. To use the Tare feature:
- First, place the empty bowl, plate, or container onto the scale’s weighing platform. The scale will display a weight on the LCD.
- With the empty bowl or container remaining on the scale, press the Tare button once to reset the scale to zero.
- Place the ingredients you would like measured into the bowl, plate, or container, and the net weight will then display on the LCD. After removing the container from the weighing platform, the scale will display a negative number. Simply press the On/Off/Tare button to reset it and deactivate the Tare feature.
IMPORTANT INDICATOR
- “LO” – When the LCD displays “LO” and automatically powers off, the batteries need to be changed. Only use new AAA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
- “Err” – When the weight detected exceeds 13.227 lbs or 6 kg, the LCD will display “Err”. Remove the object from the scale’s weighing platform to avoid damage to the scale’s sensors.
- “Unst” – If the scale displays Unst” on its LCD, the object being weighed may have shifted. Remove the object from the weighing platform and allow a few seconds for the scale to reset. Then, ensure the object being weighed is stationary before gently replacing it on the scale.
- “out2’ – If the scale displays out2 on the LCD, the scale was not able to successfully reset itself. Remove all objects from the scale, and turn it off and back on. If the problem persists, briefly remove the batteries from the scale to force a hard reset.
