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.
