Manual scale i turned my scale on and stepped onto it for a weighing and the nnumbers went up and down uncontrollably, what do I do?

FAQs - Scales

I received my scale and my first weight reading was really wrong. What happened?

The scale may need to be initialized. This process is necessary because the scale was moved during the shipping process. Initializing the scale "re-seats" the internal parts allowing the scale to find the correct "zero." Here is how to initialize your scale:

1. Place the scale back on a hard surface floor.
2. With one foot only, place just enough weight on the scale for the display shows zero's or dashes. Once you see zeros or dashes remove your foot.
3. Wait for the scale to turn off again.
4. Step up onto the scale for a weight.

Or, your scale may be on an uneven surface or on carpet. Be sure to place your scale on a hard, flat surface to get an accurate weighing.

The C error message can indicate a problem with the weight measurement or a need to recalibrate the scale. Make sure that the scale is on a hard flat surface. Try stepping off the scale and back on. Make sure to stand still on the scale. If the problem continues, step onto the scale with one foot until the display lights up. Step off the scale and wait. The display should read 0.0 if the unit has been recalibrated.
Several Etekcity scale manuals are available here: https://www.etekcity.com/support/manual?_url=%2Fsupport%2Fmedia . The calibration step is usually required if the scale has been moved or turned upside down.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I've found your manual on two different website but I'm unable to link them here. Please contact weight watchers and ask them to email you the manual for your weighing device so that you calibrate the device or factory reset it in order to weigh properly. The manual is only 2 pages.

My search is telling me that this is a scale. Is this correct? If so - this is the manual. \'FULL\' is not an error, but this is the correct model. If this is not a scale, please write again and provide more information:



The manual is short and PASTED after link to same here:

Digitz DZ3-600 Manual



I. Operation

1. Place the scale on a flat, level surface and press the ON/OFF key to turn the scale on.

2. Once the start-up process completes and the scale goes to zero you are ready to weigh.

3. Place the quantity to be weighed onto the weighing platform.

4. Wait a couple seconds for the display to stabilize before taking a weight reading.



II. Changing the Unit of Measure

1. Press the MODE key to change the scales displayed unit of measure.

2. If the scale is turned off then back on, it will default to the last unit used.

• DZ3-100 Units: g (gram) oz (ounce) ct (carat) gn (grain)

• DZ3-600 Units: g (gram) oz (ounce) ozt (troy ounce) dwt (pennyweight)



III. Using the Tare Feature

You can use this scale\'s tare feature to subtract the weight of an empty container or vessel for net weight determination. NOTE: The weight of the container will subtract from the available capacity.

1. Place the empty container or vessel on the weighing platform.

2. Press the TARE key once. The display will then reset to zero. If the container is removed, it\'s weight will be displayed as a negative number.

3. You may now fill the container with the quantity to be weighed. The display will show the net weight of the contents.

4. To return to normal weight display (gross weight), remove any items from the weighing platform and

press the TARE key again to re-zero the scale.



IV. Calibration / Adjustment

1. Turn the scale on by pressing the ON/OFF key.

2. Wait for the display to show "0.0g" or "0.00g" then press and hold the MODE key until the display shows "CAL", then release.

3. Press the MODE key again. The display will flash "CAL" followed by the required calibration weight.

4. Place the required calibration weight on the center of the platform. The display will show "PASS" then return to normal weighing mode. Calibration is complete! You may now turn the scale off.



V. Error Codes

1. OUTZ - Zero range has shifted. Perform calibration adjustment. If the problem persists, the load cell may be permanently damaged due to overloading.



2. 88888 - Maximum capacity exceeded. Remove the extra weight to avoid damaging the load cell.



3. L - Batteries are low. Replace the batteries.

Calibrating a digital pocket scale like the Mega Weigh MGP-1014 ensures that it provides accurate measurements. Here are the general steps for calibrating such a scale:
Note: It's important to refer to your scale's user manual for specific instructions, as calibration methods can vary between different models.
What You'll Need:

• Calibration weights (these are weights with known, precise values)
• The Mega Weigh MGP-1014 scale
• A clean, stable surface for calibration

Steps:

1. Read the Manual: Familiarize yourself with the user manual that came with the scale. It should provide specific instructions on how to calibrate the scale.
2. Clean the Scale: Ensure that the scale's weighing platform is clean and free from any debris. This helps to prevent interference with the calibration process.
3. Power On: Turn on the scale and wait for it to stabilize, displaying "0.0" or the default reading.
4. Tare (Optional): If your scale has a tare function, you can use it to zero out the weight of any container you plan to use to hold the calibration weights. Place the empty container on the scale and press the tare button.
5. Select Calibration Mode: Many scales have a calibration mode that you need to access. Refer to your user manual to determine how to enter the calibration mode on the Mega Weigh MGP-1014.
6. Add Calibration Weight: Place a calibration weight of a known value onto the scale's platform. The weight should match the unit of measurement you plan to use (grams, ounces, etc.).
7. Calibration Procedure: Follow the specific instructions provided in the user manual to initiate the calibration procedure. This usually involves pressing buttons or following on-screen prompts. The scale will often ask you to confirm the weight value of the calibration weight you added.
8. Confirm or Adjust: The scale should display the weight you added as the calibration weight. Confirm that the displayed weight matches the known value of the calibration weight. If there's a discrepancy, follow the manual's instructions to adjust the calibration setting accordingly.
9. Repeat if Necessary: Some scales require calibration with multiple weights to ensure accuracy across the scale's entire range. If this is the case, follow the manual's instructions for using additional calibration weights.
10. Exit Calibration Mode: Once you've completed the calibration procedure, exit the calibration mode according to the instructions provided in the user manual.
11. Test with Known Items: After calibration, test the scale's accuracy by weighing objects of known weight to ensure that it's providing accurate readings.

Remember that the exact calibration process can vary depending on the scale model, so always refer to the user manual for the most accurate instructions. If you're unsure about any step, it's recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer support for assistance.

Step on the scale and immediately step OFF and the scale will then be ready to weigh you. If this does not work, then you need to replace the battery.

I've found I have to weigh myself, step off, weigh myself with something in my something heavy in my hands, then weigh myself again. The 3rd weight you get will be your correct weight. If you needed the manual, I have uploaded in into photobucket...although it doesn't really address this issue.

Try to reset the unit. Use the following steps
- Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale. Push the tab on the door and lift the cover.
- Remove the battery from the compartment. Close the battery compartment door.
- Sit the scale right side up on a hard surface floor.
- Step on the scale and stand still on it for five to ten seconds. Step off the scale.
- Turn the scale over and open the battery compartment. Re-insert the battery. Close the battery compartment cover.
- Place the scale right side up on the hard surface floor.
- Press one foot on the scale until the display shows zeroes or dashes. Remove your foot.
- Wait for the scale to shut off by itself. When you step back onto the scale, it will be reset.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

I have a WW36DG digital scale and most of the instructions are the same, so far as I can see. When you tap on the scale, 888.888 appears. It is just seting itself. If you step on the scale before it reads 00.0 it wil give you a Err signal. If you stepped on the scale after it read 00.0, and an Err signal appears, either your battery is very low or it is malfunctioning. it does have a 10 year warranty on it. For the person wanting to set the scale, here are the directions. Good luck.
