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 wheelchair, shoes, etc): press MENU (1) and select option
Important: The TARE weight cannot exceed 200 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).
