Enter the code [8][7][1][5] . 3. The scale will then display a prompt to calibrate the zero point. Ensure the weighing platter is completely empty. 4. Wait until the screen shows 'SET WEIGHT & PRT'. 5. Now, place a certified calibration weight that matches the scale’s maximum capacity onto the center of the platter (e.g., a 6kg weight for a 6kg scale). 6. The scale will automatically detect the weight and complete the calibration process. Once finished, press the Mode key to exit the calibration mode.
