6. CALIBRATION

For best results, calibrate the scale at regular intervals. Temperature changes,

geographic gravity variations, altitude changes and abuse are few reasons why a

scale may need recalibration.

When the scale is ideally positioned for operation, enter calibration and proceed as

follows:

Long-press Zero to initiate calibra-

tion (do not release key-press until

“CAL” is displayed).

The required calibration weight is

displayed (ex. 3000g for a 3kg

model). At this time, a different

calibration weight value can be

entered via the numeric keypad.

Place the corresponding calibration

weight on the pan. The display

flashes until the actual weight is reg-

istered and the calibration process

ends (the scale momentarily beeps

before exiting to normal weighing

mode).

NOTE: Press Zero at any time to abort during the calibration process.
