INITIALISING YOUR SCALE
1. Press the platform centre and remove your foot.
2.'0.0' will be displayed.
3.The scale will switch off and is now ready for use.
This initialisation process MUST be repeated if the scale is moved. ie battery replacement.
Testimonial: "Thank you but the error is still not disappearing. I have bought new batteries twice now thinking the batteries were defective, yet I still have the 'L' appearing. There is not really any indication which way the + needs to be. I even tried moving that to different positions. I don't see an isolator tab that I can remove as per the instructions. That is the only think I have not done."

Hi Pete. I don't keep receipts either : ^ )
No that I am done commeserating, try this. Remove the batteries. Use the eraser end of a common pencil to scrub and clean the battery contacts inside the battery compartment. Also pull the contacts a little closer to the surface if you can. Then reinstall the batteries and you may be up and running.
Please rate my answer as verey helpful thanks. Joe
SOURCE: I changed the battery on bathroom scale Salter 987
I had the same problem with my Salter 987 scale. Pull the battery out for about 10 seconds and put it back in. Then push the scale once so it turns on. After the blinking stops, push it once more. The scale will now zero itself. After the scale has zero'd itself it may turn off after a brief moment. It's now ready to use normally. If you're standing on the scale when it's trying to calibrate to zero, it will assume your weight is zero. Don't stand on the scale after replacing the battery untill you first complete the steps listed above.
