Because you have a scale that weighs in whole grams not parts of a gram. You need a more accurate scale like these which weigh to 1/00th of a gram (0.01 grams).
That is 886.258 pounds!! It is broken, throw it away. Or remove the batteries for 5 minutes. For your Chinese buttons, you can use a smartphone with the Google Translate app and use the Camera function to translate what the camera is seeing. It is very clever.
Or contact the USA department of Tanita and ask for a manual in English.
For the last 40 years Tanita's has manufactured leading edge weight measurement scales and innovative products that enable consumers to monitor their own ...
Have you tried stepping on the scale then immediately stepping off the scale allowing it to read "000" ?
This should reset your scales to read true weight!
You're only suppose to weigh yourself once a week. Make sure you're doing it after you've gone to the bathroom in the morning and with no clothes on. Other than that, I'd make sure the floor you set the scale on is level and that you are holding very still while weighing.
Take a 5 pound bag of sugar, flour or what have you. Put it on the scale. If it is off, turn the scale so that you can check every possible place for an adjustment. Adjust and go for it!!! Good luck...Lee
The scale must be on a hard, level surface. Make sure there is absolutely no dirt on any of the pivot points. Calibrate it with a KNOWN 25 pound weight.
I just had this problem on set Salter scales (says 3309 on label on back so assume that's model no) which came up OUT2 solidly after hadn't been used for a while.
Looking on WWW this means on other scales they need to be recalibrated. There are only 2 buttons on ths model ON/Zero and 2nd is mode for grams, oz etc. Discovered by trial and error have to hold down the on button and repeatedly click the measure button as it powers up, screen says err2 press on button again and says 5000g, put 5000g weight on scales, press on button again display says CAL press on button and it at first came up with EEEE and failed but next attempt it said PASS and it all worked again. I used 2 x 1.5kg bags flour and 2 x 1Kg bags sugar to make 5kg with bit tipped out of one to make exact and checked on another set scales. So trick appears to be finding how to get your scales in to calibrate mode and what the weight it expects is.
The scales display EE as they are reading a negative weight.
With the scales switched OFF place 2 glass plates on the scales and press ON.
The scales should now display 0g.
If this doesn't work add more weight and try again.
There is also 4 screws on the underside of the scales which hold the weighing bar in place, if you loosen the 2 smaller screws this should relieve some of the stress so less weight is needed to zero the scales.
