How to use
Place the scale on a flat, stable surface and switch it on. If the flip cover is used as a tray, open it and ensure it sits level before taring the scale.

Read the measured value on the display and remove the item when finished. Turn the scale off after use to conserve battery life.
Usage recommendations
For best accuracy, avoid weighing on soft or uneven surfaces, do not weigh in drafts, and ensure the scale is at room temperature. Calibrate or check accuracy periodically using known calibration weights if precise results are critical. Replace batteries when the display dims or performance declines.
