"Zero" or "Tare" function

To weigh different loads consecutively without removing loads from the scale. Put first load on the scale, get weight reading. Press Z/T button to reset the LCD reading to "0.00" before adding next load. You can repeat this operation.

Condition 1: "ZERO" function

When total sum of all loads on scale 4% of scale's max capacity. (4% = 4 gram when capacity is 100 gram; = 8 gram when capacity is 200 gram; = 20 gram when capacity is 500 gram).

LCD shows "0.00g" each time Z/T is pressed. Icon "O" will appear on the lower left corner of LCD, indicating "ZERO" function is active..Max. Weight capacity remains unchanged.

Condition 2: "TARE" function When total sum of all loads on scale >4% of scale's max capacity. (4% = 4 gram when capacity is 100 gram; = 8 gram when capacity is 200 gram; = 20 gram when capacity is 500 gram).

LCD shows "0.00g" each time Z/T is pressed. Icon "TARE" will appear on the upper left corner of LCD, indicating "TARE" function is active. Max. weight capacity is reduced by total weight of all loads on the scale.

Under this situation:

weigh more loads, just press Z/T to reset LCD reading to "0.00g" again.

LCD Backlight
