object placed on the scale in addition to yourself.
Proceed as follows:

start key with no load on the
scale.
– First stand on the scales yourself with-
out the additional weight and activate
the Tare function by depressing and
holding the hold tare key.
The display is reset to zero, 0.0 flashes
in the display until weight is detected to
be stable. Only then is the Tare function
fully activated. The note “NET” appears.
– Now take the additional load onto the
scale. You can leave the scale to do so,
in which case ---- appears.
The scale determines the weight of the
additional load.
You can now perform as many weigh-
ing operations as you like.
