OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
02
TARE 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 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 user can set a tare weight by pressing the TARE button (9) while there is a weight on the

Additional pressing of the TARE button will delete the tare value from memory, TARE will
disappear from the display and the scale will resume normal operation.
