'ZERO' OR 'TARE' FUNCTION

To weigh different loads consecutively without removing loads from the scale, start by putting the first load on the scale to get a weight reading. Then, press the ZERO button to reset the LCD reading to '0' before adding the next load. You can repeat this operation as many times as necessary.

Condition 1: 'ZERO' function

When the total sum of all loads on the scale ≤ 4% of scale's max. weight capacity.

(4 % = 80 g when capacity is 2000 g;

200 g when capacity is 5000 g)

The LCD will show ---- or '0 g' each time the button is pressed. This means the scale is not stable, please wait. If it displays '0 g' and the icon

BECKEN

'o' is shown on the left side of the LCD, it means the ZERO function is activated. The max. weight capacity remains unchanged.

Condition 2: 'TARE' function

When the total sum of all loads on the scale >4 % of the scale's max. weight capacity.

(4 % = 80 g when capacity is 2000 g;

200 g when capacity is 5000 g)

The LCD will show ---- or '0 g' each time the button is pressed. This means the scale is not stable, please wait. If it displays '0 g' and the icon 'T' is shown on the upper left corner of the LCD, it means the TARE function is activated. The max. weight capacity is reduced by the total weight of the load.

Under this condition:

By pressing ZERO, you can see the total weight of all loads on the scale. If you want to weigh more loads, just press ZERO to reset the LCD reading to 'O' again.

AUTO SHUT OFF

Auto shut-off occurs if the display shows '0' or shows the same weight reading for 2 minutes.

MANUAL SHUT OFF

To maximize the scale's battery life, always press ①ZERO to turn the scale off after using it.
