OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

02TARE WEIGHT

NOTE: Due to the scale’s sensitivity, we recommend using the REWEIGH function prior to setting the TARE weight, in order to eliminate any operator interference with the item to be tared out.

There are two ways to manually enter a tare weight (such as the weight of a stretcher , shoes, etc): press MENU (1) and select option 02-Tare Weight or press TARE (9). If there is no weight on the scale platform (value displayed is zero and there is no tare) and the user presses the TARE button (9), the Tare Weight window appears and prompts the user to enter the TARE value and to press ENTER. NOTE: The tare weight must be entered using the following increments: 4oz, 0.2lb, ¼lb. The value entered will display in minus (-). After the TARE has been entered, the scale goes back to normal operation. This TARE value is stored in memory until changed or cleared.

Important: The TARE weight cannot exceed 125 lb.

The number that is to be changed will flash and will move from the left to the right after the appropriate number was entered or by using the c key (left) and the d key (right).
