Troubleshooting Calibration Issues
"FAIL" or "ERR" Display
Causes:
- Wrong calibration weight used
- Surface not level
- Movement during calibration
- Low batteries
- Scale malfunction
Solutions:
1. Check you're using correct weight
2. Move to more stable surface
3. Replace batteries
4. Retry in calmer environment
5. Try again from beginning
Scale Won't Enter Calibration Mode
Try:
- Different button combinations
- Consulting manual
- Turning off, waiting, trying again
- Replacing batteries
- Looking for hidden calibration button
Calibration Succeeds But Still Inaccurate
Possible issues:
- Calibration weight itself is inaccurate
- Scale has hardware damage
- Environmental interference
Solutions:
- Try different calibration weight
- Verify weight with another scale
- Test in different location
- Contact manufacturer
Display Shows Wrong Required Weight
Normal variation:
Different models require different calibration weights. Use what YOUR scale displays, not what seems standard.
Calibration for Different Scale Types
Pocket Scales (0.1g)
Typical procedure:
- 100g or 200g calibration
- Simple CAL button process
- Takes 1-2 minutes
Milligram Scales (0.001g)
More sensitive process:
- Usually 10g or 20g calibration
- Requires windshield closed
- Extremely stable surface needed
- More prone to environmental effects
- May need multiple calibrations
Kitchen Scales
Often auto-calibrating:
- Many don't have manual calibration
- Reset to factory through menu
- Less precise than pocket/milligram scales
Maintaining Calibration
Best Practices
Protect your calibration:
- Store scale properly (case if included)
- Avoid extreme temperatures
- Don't drop or jar scale
- Keep away from magnets
- Handle gently
Regular checks:
- Weekly: Verify with known weight
- Monthly: Full recalibration
- After any incident: Recalibrate
Environmental Factors
Affect accuracy:
- Temperature changes
- Humidity
- Altitude changes
- Air currents
- Vibrations
When accuracy matters most:
Calibrate in the same environment where you'll be weighing.

Summary
Calibration is simple but essential:
1. Prepare - Stable surface, warmed up scale
2. Enter mode - Usually hold CAL or MODE
3. Zero - Let scale establish baseline
4. Weigh - Place exact required weight
5. Confirm - Wait for PASS indication
6. Verify - Test with known weights
Regular calibration ensures your scale stays accurate. A few minutes monthly prevents measurement problems.
