Is my scale calibrated. When I turn it on it first shows 8888 7/8, then it 0/0g

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.

To calibrate the scale on Robinair 34288, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the machine and make sure that the scale is empty.
2. Press and hold the "Weight" button for three seconds until "CAL" appears on the display.
3. Place a weight of known mass (such as a 50-pound weight) onto the scale and press the "Weight" button. The display will show the weight that you placed on the scale.
4. Press the "Weight" button again to confirm the weight. The display will show "CAL END" to indicate that the calibration is complete.
5. Remove the weight from the scale and turn the machine back on.

Your Robinair 34288 scale should now be calibrated and ready to use. If you have any issues or concerns, please consult the user manual or contact Robinair customer support.

Try removing and replacing the batteries this should reset it , does the scale say zero at rest and as it sits on a level surface

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.

magnum 1000xr pocket scales turns on calibrates goes to different modes but wont show the weight when object placed on the scale,a lock appears in top left of window, is scales broke or do i have to make lock symble dissappear?

According to Tanita, you must send the scale back to the factory to adjust the calibration. As of September 2011 the cost is $125.00

This is more the scale costs.

Moral of the story. Don't buy Tanita.

Hi,
you need just to recalibrate it:
The procedure is standard for semi-all models of pocket scales, but the way how to get to calibration mode differs from model to model (or vendor to vendor).
In brief:
1.While turn-on get to the calibration mode (by pressing and holding the ON button, or holding TARE while turinig on) You should hold this "magic" combination until the LCD will show a number (large number - it was more than 2000 in my case). This number is a raw data from the sensor.
2.Now release the "magic" button.
3.Press it one more time, the display will show 2Ero and then 100.0
4.Now put calibrated weight of 100 grams on the scale and wait 3 seconds.
5.Press "magic" button again.The display will show CAL and then PASS.
6.Now remove the weight and turn off the scale.
7.Thats all - now you can use your scale as usually.

when i turn on my 4010.the screen display shows 4010 but thats all it does.any solution.
