My Weight Watchers digital scales model#ww39 has gone haywire. I put new batteries in it to no avail. You tap it and the numbers come right up then changes to 000.0 as it should, when you step on the scales the numbers flash as they should but either they weight you about 100lbs to heavy or the numbers continue to blink and the LCD goes blank. Can they be fixed? Can I fix them myself at home? Do I need to shoot them? Just throw them out in the yard? Please I need help!!

How do I calibrate my Mainstays EK9180WM digital scale

Just remove the battery, wait 15 minutes and replace it. There is no calibration on home use scales because you would need a guaranteed calibration weight.

Can I calibrate CAMRY electronic personal scale : EB9872

Yes, you can calibrate the CAMRY Electronic Personal Scale EB9872 by following these steps:
  1. Step on the scale and wait for the display to show "0.0".
  2. Press and hold the "UNIT" button for approximately 5 seconds until the display shows "CAL" and "0.0" starts flashing.
  3. Release the "UNIT" button and wait for the display to show "1000" and start flashing.
  4. Place a weight of exactly 1000g on the scale and wait for the display to stabilize and show a reading.
  5. Press the "UNIT" button again to confirm the calibration. The display will show "PASS" and then return to "0.0".
  6. Remove the weight from the scale and it is now calibrated and ready for use.
It's important to note that you should use a weight that is known to be accurate, such as a calibration weight, to ensure accurate calibration. Also, it's recommended to calibrate the scale periodically to ensure accurate readings.

How do you use it? How do you calibrate, clean and use the scale?

To use a scale, first you'll need to make sure it is properly set up and calibrated. This typically involves placing the scale on a flat, stable surface and pressing a "tare" or "zero" button to reset the scale to 0. If the scale is battery-operated, you'll need to install the batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

To use the scale, simply place the object you want to weigh on the surface of the scale. The scale should display the weight of the object in the units you have selected (usually pounds or kilograms).

To clean the scale, you should use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the surface of the scale. Be sure to avoid getting any water inside the scale itself.

To calibrate the scale, you may need to adjust the scale's settings or follow a specific calibration process according to the manufacturer's instructions. This may involve using a known weight or adjusting the scale's "zero" point. Calibrating your scale can help ensure that it is providing accurate readings.

How do I accurately calibrate my digital scale that is a manlloro 200g made in China

To calibrate a digital scale, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. 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.
  2. Place the weight on the scale and wait for the scale to stabilize.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Calibrate a mega weigh mgp-1014 digital pocket scale

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.
