5. ADDING NEW FOODS

This Cal-Max scale allows you to add up to fifty (50) additional foods to suit your personal needs. For example, if you have a favorite breakfast cereal that is not listed, you can use the calorie value printed on the cereal box to add this food to the data base.

To add a new food:

a)Turn the scale “ON”. Be sure the scale is in weighing mode (“WEIGHT” shows on the display).

b)Press “MENU”.

c)Use the arrow keys or “MENU” key to scroll to “ADD FOOD ITEM TO MEMORY” and then press “ENTER”. “ENTER FOOD NAME” appears.

d)Using the keypad, enter a name for the new food (limit of 15 characters) then press “ENTER”.

e)You will be prompted to type in the value for “CALORIES”; press “ENTER”. (see important note below)

f)The screen shows: “ITEM ADDED”, then returns to “ADD FOOD ITEM TO MEMORY” screen. The new food item has been added.

g)To exit the “ADD SCREEN” press (▲) or (▼) until “EXIT MENU” appears, then press “ENTER”. The scale returns to the weighing screen.

IMPORTANT: The nutritional values must be entered as per 100g of food or product. All nutritional labels include the corresponding grams to the serving size. You may need to calculate the calorie value of the 100g portion manually first before entering into the scale.
