Use a CR2032 button cell battery (3V). Open the battery compartment located under the scale, insert the battery respecting polarity (+/-), and close the cover.

Can I weigh liquids directly on the scale?

Yes, by using a container and the tare function. However, never pour liquid directly onto the platform as water could damage the electronic components.

Wipe the platform and housing with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never use abrasive products and do not immerse the scale in water.
