FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you fix a scale that won’t turn on?

When the new batteries are removed, check the terminals for corrosion caused by the old batteries. Reinstall the fresh batteries, lightly sand the contacts in the battery box, and then try turning the scale on once more.

Are cheap digital scales accurate?

No matter the brand, digital scales are generally accurate. If you merely want to monitor your weight, there’s no need to buy the priciest scale on the market. The BMC Public Health Study’s authors found no appreciable differences in accuracy depending on the brand of digital scales.

How can I tell if my scale is accurate?        

Note the weight of a coin after placing it on the scale. Put one more nickel on the scale, and then record the updated weight. One additional nickel can be added to the scale; record the weight. The weight should have increased by 5g each time, if your scale is accurate.

Why does my scale show two different weights?

This is due to the possibility that every brand of scale has a unique calibration, and some scales may be adjusted for your particular body type or BMI. If the scales are reliable, they will most likely produce an accurate reading that is very close to your actual body weight.

How do I restart my scale?

From the scales back, remove all of the batteries. For at least 10 minutes, leave the scale’s batteries out of the equation. Make sure the battery compartment is spotless and that there is no residue or debris on the contact terminals. Make sure the batteries are polarized correctly and reinstall them securely.

Why is my digital scale not working?

Issues with the display and functionality of digital scales are frequently caused by batteries. Remove the batteries by carefully opening the battery compartment. Clear the compartment of any dust or other objects that could obstruct the battery connection using a small, clean paintbrush or cotton swab.

What can I use to calibrate my scale?

Put a calibration weight, a coin from the United States, or a common object on your scale. You can use an item to calibrate the scale as long as you know its precise weight. Avoid using the object to calibrate the scale if you don’t know its precise weight since if it’s too heavy, the scale could be damaged.

Why is my scale so inconsistent?

Your machine may start to provide erroneous and inconsistent readings if it isn’t receiving the electricity it requires to function. Make sure the batteries are connected completely and are producing adequate power by checking them. A fresh set of batteries can also be tested to determine if they offer your digital scale the boost it need.

Does this have a lift tray to weigh things that may roll-off?

No, it doesn’t.

Does the scale have a function to give you a piece count?

No, it doesn’t.

How many decimal places?

One.
