To change measurement unit, press the UNIT button.

ZERO OR TARE OPERATION

NOTE: The Zero/Tare (Z/T) function is the deduction of the weight of the container from the total (gross) weight It is useful to determine the net weight of the contents excluding the container which holds them.

• Set-up the device as mentioned above and power it on.

CASE I: ZERO FUNCTION

The scale uses ZERO funotion when the total sum of all loads on scale is < 4% of the seale's maximum weighing capacity

[0.18lb (80g) for a maximum capacity of 4.41Ib (2kg) | 0.44Ib (200g) for a maximum capacity of 11.02lb (5kg)]

When in 'ZERO' mode, LCD should show 0 lb./g along with the ZERO icon in the lower-left corner.

[0.18Ib (B0g) for a maximum capacity of 4.41Ib (2kg) | 0.44Ib (200g) for a maximum capacity of 11.02lb (5kg)]

When in 'TARE' mode, LCD should show 0 Ib./g along with the TARE icon in the upper-left corner.

NOTE: Maximum capacity of the scale is now reduced by the total weight of the loads.
