Display and Function
General Operation
POWER
To turn the scale on, press the button marked “ON”. The display will first show “8888” followed by “0.0”. The scale is ready for use.
WEIGHING
When the display shows “0.0”, the scale is ready to weigh an object. If the object exceeds the capacity of the scale by more than 5%, the display will show “oooo” (for overload). Until the overload condition is reached, additional objects may be placed on the platform. The display will show the sum of the weights of all the objects. When one of multiple objects is removed from the platform, the weight of the remaining objects will display.
TARE OPERATION
To tare (zero out) a load on the platform (example: the weight of a container), press the “TARE/HOLD” button. The display will show the value “0.0”. During the “TARE” mode, a new item can be added to the platform. The display will show the sum of the weights of the added items. Another item may be added, if desired. The display will show the sum of all additional item weights above and beyond the tared out load.
TARE CAPABILITY

For example, if a load of 50 lbs is placed on the platform and the “TARE/HOLD” button is pressed, the display will show “0.0”. If the weight is then removed from the platform, the display will show
