To calibrate a digital scale, you will need to follow these steps:
Find a weight that you know the exact weight of, such as a coin or a small weight. This weight will be used to calibrate the scale.
Place the weight on the scale and wait for the scale to stabilize.
Check the weight displayed on the scale. If it is not accurate, use the scale's calibration function to adjust the scale to the correct weight.
To calibrate the scale using the calibration function, follow the instructions in the user manual for your specific scale. The process may vary depending on the make and model of the scale.
Once the scale is calibrated, remove the weight and test the scale by weighing an object of known weight. If the scale displays the correct weight, the scale is properly calibrated. If the scale is still not accurate, you may need to repeat the calibration process or consult the user manual for further instructions.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Although the HealthOMeter.com site no longer posts a user manual for the BFM588DQ-81 scale, they do have a different model scale, BFM955-60, instruction manual that will work for the BFM588 because all the setting buttons are identical. You can download the manual for free at their site. Go to the site, under "Service & Support" setect "Instruction Manuals", then select "Body Fat Scales". Once there, find and select the BFM955-60. It will open as .pdf document and you can save it to your computer and print it out. It worked for my BFM588 scale for which I had lost the user manual.
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:
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.
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.
Power On: Turn on the scale and wait for it to stabilize, displaying "0.0" or the default reading.
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.
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.
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.).
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.
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.
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.
Exit Calibration Mode: Once you've completed the calibration procedure, exit the calibration mode according to the instructions provided in the user manual.
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.
Hi yokoone...
You did not say which model Tanita scale you have, so I will send you to the following webpage and you can download a free user manual for your scale.
Please take time to rate me
Either do a search for that particular scale brand & model, which should take you to the company, whom should have a manual on-line or go back under search and type in "users manuals". There should be several manual websites that come up. Just don't click on the websites that require money for their manuals, when you can get them for free at other sites.
