Zero & Tare Functions
To measure items as they are added, use the Zero and Tare Functions. If the
weight of the items being measured is below 4% of the scale’s capacity (less
than 0.2kg/0.4lb), the Zero function is used. If the weight of the items exceeds
4% of the scale’s capacity, the Tare function is used.

to take a measurement.
2. Without removing the item(s), press the ZERO/ON/OFF button to reset
the display to 0.
3. Depending on the weight of the item(s), you will see the Zero indicator
"O" or the Tare indicator "T" on the display.
4. With the first item(s) still in place, add the next item to the surface of the
scale. The display will now show the weight of that item.
