When the scale is ideally positioned for operation, enter calibration and proceed as follows: Make sure the scale is in zero mode, long-press ZERO to initiate calibration (do not release key-press

15 6. CALIBRATION For best results, calibrate the scale at regular intervals. Temperatures 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: Make sure the scale is in zero mode, long-press ZERO to initiate calibration (do not release key-press until "CAL " is displayed). The required calibration weight is flashed at the Piece Weight window(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 registered 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. The calibration weight value should not less than 1/2 Max to make sure accuracy 14
