The LED display shows [ The LED display shows [ 0.000]. when the weighing unit is in ounce. Operation 1.
Timer/Weighing Mode Display(For firmware 1.2 to 1.62) 1. The LED display shows [ 0. 0.0] in Timer-Weighing Mode with timer on the left and the weight value on the right. 2. The timer displays from 0 to 59 seconds in cycle and will reset when reaching 60 seconds. When it resets, the LED indicator on the left lights on in orange to let you know that more than 1 minute has passed.
1. Press and hold button while turning ON the scale. When the LED display shows [ :ACAIA ]and then[ SEt ] , press and hold button for another 1 second without releasing buttons when the display shows [ F.0000 ]. with the very button.
1. When Auto Zero setting is off or disabled, the initial weight on weighing pan must be less than 50% of capacity, i.e., less than 1kg for acaia Coffee Scale before the scale is turned on ; otherwise, an error [ Er.303 ] occurs. When the error occurs, the scale would not work until the initial weight on weighing pan is cleared.
2. If Zero Range is set to 100, the range for zero-setting will be 100% of the capacity, i.e., +/- 2kg for acaia Coffee Scale. Therefore, instead of tare operation, zero operation would be executed in this setting whenever button is pressed.
Weighing Resolution [ rESoL ] 1. The default Weighing Resolution is set to [ dEFAUL ]: the division is 0.1g under weight of 1000g and 0.5g from 1000g to 2000g. button to switch the weighing resolution between [ dEFAUL ] and [ hiGh ].
Appendix A. Smart-Calibration If you decide to calibrate your scale, it will only be as good as the accuracy of the calibration weights you use. It is recommended to use standard weights of 500g or 1000g. *Note : We recommend standard weights with class F or F Advanced Operation Structure *Note :The dashed line is for firmware 1.72+, the default Timer Mode is turn off.

Here is an example of using 500g for calibration. Place a 500g standard weight on scale and wait for the scale to execute calibration procedure.
Appendix B. Error Codes Error Code Error Code Description 100 Code error 101 EEPROM error 102 AD read error Over load: the weight is over the maximum capacity. Under load: the weight is under the minimum capacity. 303 Unable to make zero point, for the initial weight exceeds the limit (50% of capacity). 304 Weight calibration error.
