My etekcity scale is showing a C shape on the screen after weighing something - what does that mean?

Contact Avery for a local repair facility. This is interesting!

I remember this scale as a kid in the 1960s buying 2 ounces or a quarter pound of sweets.

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.

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.

If this is showing your weight, how do you know how much you actually weigh?
Also, you should be testing on a flat, SOLID surface (bathroom tile works well).

This means overload....either the weighed object is too heavy for the machine or it's problem with the scale.

OUR2 is probably OutZ or Out2, means you have to recalibrate your scale. Refer to your scales manual for instructions on recalibrating, usually you have to turn on your scale, press CAL button, wait till it displays for example 100g, depending on how much your scale can weight, then put that weight, for example 100g on your scale (you can use coins if you don,t have anything else, though be precise as coins can weigh more or less,informationon coins weight can be found in your country national bank site. After you put the weight, it should display OK or PASS, if it's FAIL or the scale turns itself off, it's either broken or the weight is not correct

scale may need to be calibrated or you may have something causing the scale to be unstable or something could be binding

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
