Where will I find a manual and batteries fot the WS500L scale

2 batteries

Removing the power source should reset it. Personal scales do not normally need calibration.

Or contact them direct

To reset the BFM144DQ3-99 scale, you can try the following steps:

1. Remove the batteries from the scale.
2. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
3. Release the power button and wait for 10 seconds.
4. Reinsert the batteries.
5. Press the power button to turn on the scale.

If the scale still does not reset, you can try contacting the manufacturer for assistance or searching online for a copy of the user manual.

If the scale is an electronic version, remove the batteries and wait a minute or two before replacing the batteries. That will probably zero the scale. If that doesn't work, it's time to buy new batteries.

It's a capacitor. Your son is probably right.

The lithium battery is a 3-Volt CR2032. The manual for the scale is available here: http://www.taylorusa.com/media/IBs/7506_ib.pdf . Additional information and a link to the manual is available here: http://www.taylorusa.com/weight-management/glass-electronic-scales/glass-lithium-electronic-scale.html .

I hope this helps.

Battery Replacement Instructions

1. Turn over the scale and open the battery door. (Push ribbed switch and pull up)
2. Replace old batteries with two new 3V Lithium batteries (CR2032).
3. Close battery door.
4. Properly dispose of old batteries.

There is nothing holding the batteries in place once the battery door is opened. If the batteries are difficult to remove, use a small screwdriver to gently pry up on the battery or simply after opening battery door invert the scale and shake.

Hello, Maclay55 -

I hope you checked the owner's manual first, the troubleshooting / problem solving section.

It wouldn't hurt to put new batteries in the scale (2 AAA batteries).

Note: From the instructions for the scales:

6. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The vapors from some household products may affect the electronic components of your scale. Do not store scale on its side.

7. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. In order to prevent run down of the battery, do not store anything on the scale.

8. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, carbon-zinc (standard) or Nickel-Cadmium (rechargeable) batteries. Remove the batteries if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.

If installing fresh batteries does not work, then I suggest you call the Taylor USA Consumer Help & Support department. This is the link to the web page with the US and Canadian telephone numbers:
