and need to be replaced.

3.3 Turn on/off the scale

With the base lying on a flat, level surface, simply lift the display up to the ready position
(about 110°).

The scale will automatically sound a signal tone and the display will light up to indicate that
the device is on. Once zeros appear on the display the scale is ready for use.

To turn off the scale, simply lower the display back to the flat, storage position.

If left in the ready position for more than approx. 3 minutes
and 30 seconds, the scale will automatically shut off to
conserve battery life. To turn the device back on while in the
ready position, press approx. 2 seconds on the weighing
platform until the signal tone sounds and the display lights up.

weight. Do not overload the scale or the sensor could be damaged.

3.6 To weigh items in tare mode

Tare Mode allows you to make allowances for the weight of objects on the scale you don’t
necessarily want to weigh, such as a mixing bowl. It also allows you to re-zero the scale
with items already on the weighing platform, allowing you to accurately weigh additional
items separately.

• Press the “g/lb” button on the display repeatedly to cycle through weights in grams,

pounds or ounces.

• Place the first object to be weighed on the weighing platform.

• Press the “TARE” button to re-zero the display and weigh additional items.

• If the item you first weighed is a container, for instance, fill it with the second item to be

weighed and place it back on the scale to display the weight of the container’s contents
but not the container.

• You can press the “TARE” button after adding as many additional items as you like to

re-zero the scale.

• When an item is removed from the weighing platform while in Tare Mode and the

display has been re-zeroed, the negative weight of the object will be displayed.

• To exit Tare Mode, remove all items from the weighing platform and press the “TARE”

button.
