Frequently Asked Questions - 00949 AcuRite

How do I change the battery on my AcuRite 00949?

Turn the scale over and locate the battery compartment cover on the bottom. Slide the cover off, remove the old CR2032 battery, and insert a new one with the positive (+) side facing up. Replace the cover.

What does 'Err' mean on the display?

'Err' indicates an overload. The weight exceeds the maximum capacity of 5 kg (11 lb). Remove the excess weight to clear the error.

How do I change the unit from grams to ounces?

Press the 'MODE' or 'UNIT' button (depending on model) to cycle through g, kg, oz, and lb:oz. The selected unit will appear on the LCD.

Why does my scale turn off automatically?

The scale has an auto-off feature to conserve battery. It will turn off after about 2 minutes of inactivity. Simply press the ON/OFF button to restart.

Can I use the scale on a soft surface?

For best accuracy, place the scale on a hard, flat, and level surface. Soft or uneven surfaces may cause incorrect readings.

How do I clean my AcuRite 00949?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners. Dry immediately after cleaning.

What is the tare function and how do I use it?

Tare allows you to zero out the weight of a container. Place the container on the scale, press the Tare button, then add ingredients. The display will show only the net weight.

The display is dim or shows a battery icon. What should I do?

A dim display or battery icon indicates a low battery. Replace the CR2032 battery as described in the battery change guide.

How accurate is the AcuRite 00949 scale?

The scale has a graduation of 1 g (0.1 oz), making it suitable for precise cooking and baking measurements within its capacity range.

My scale seems inaccurate. How can I calibrate it?

This scale is factory-calibrated and does not require user calibration. Ensure it is on a level surface, check the battery, and verify you are not exceeding the maximum capacity.
