Getting Started

The Digitag Scale

Status Lights

There are four status lights on the front of your Digital Scale.

• Power Light - Just to the right of the Power input plug is a red light located directly above the

symbol of a power cord. This light is on when the scale is plugged into a power source.

• Bluetooth Light - There are three lights grouped together just to the left of the on/off switch. The

first of these is a blue light located directly above a Bluetooth symbol. This blue light is on when your
scale is communicating with another device.

• On/Off Light - The middle green light is on when your scale is powered on. To turn the scale on/off

press the on/off switch. It is the only button on the front of the scale.

• Battery Light - The rightmost red light is on when the scale is low on battery and needs to be

recharged.

Turning Your Scale On

To turn your scale on:

1. Press the power switch located between the three status lights and the Serial Number label.

2. If the green On/Off Light does not come on, please try recharging the scale’s battery.

3. If the battery does not charge, please see below regarding connecting the rechargeable battery.

Connecting the Rechargeable Battery

We will typically connect the scale’s rechargeable battery before shipping it to you. However, occasionally
customers may receive a scale with the rechargeable battery disconnected. If you can’t seem to turn on or
charge your scale, the battery may have become disconnected.

If you believe that your scale’s battery is not connected, you should remove the scale’s top metal case. The
components of the scale fit snugly into the top metal case, however it is possible to remove the scale from the
metal case. You simply have to grasp the “legs” on the scale and pull firmly on the upper case until the scale
components slide out of the metal case. There are two wires that connect the scale to the rechargeable
battery. Make certain that both wires are firmly connected to the rechargeable battery and replace the metal
cover on the scale.

Note: Be very careful when replacing the metal cover to make sure that the power switch is lined up with
the slot on the front of the metal cover. If you try to put the metal cover on and the power switch is
misaligned, you can break the power switch off and have to use the tip of a pen to turn the scale on and off in
the future.

7. Press “Pair”

8. Once you've paired BarkeepApp with the scale, the Device Status should change to Paired.

9. The PIN should be left blank – the XHBMS does not require a PIN.

Note: When your iOS Device is searching for the Digitag Bluetooth scale it might also detect other

Bluetooth devices nearby. An older iPhone or iPod Touch might detect a new Reflex Bluetooth digital

scale, but it will not be compatible with the Reflex Bluetooth unless it is an iPhone 4S and later or an

iPod Touch 5th generation and later.

Reminder: You must use a Digitag Bluetooth scale with a Linea-Pro scanner with Bluetooth support or an

Infinea Tab scanner with Bluetooth support.

Setting the Digitag Bluetooth Scale to Zero

Before beginning to weigh Items, we recommend setting the scale to Zero.

You will not need to do this

for each Item, but should set the scale to Zero every time you begin a session of weighing Items.

Reminder: There are many other models of the Digitag Bluetooth digital scales available. Only those
purchased from barkeepapp.com are certified to work with BarkeepApp. Other models will not work with
BarkeepApp and are not supported by Barkeep. We are not able to provide assistance with or answer
questions about scales purchased elsewhere.
