CALIBRATION
This scale has been factory calibrated and does not require calibration prior to use.
The calibration procedure may be performed using a known weight in either pounds or kilograms. Simply set the scale for the desired
unit of measure using the lb/kg key and start the calibration procedure. The calibration is performed using lb or kg, according to the unit
of measure used upon entering into the calibration path, meaning the scale will default to either lb or kg, if that was the setting left on
the scale for weighing. Note: Calibration weight must be no less than 100 lb (40 kg) and no more than 500 lb (200 kg).
