When scale is turned on is unit same as when it was turned off or does it always default to particular unit? If defaults, what is the default unit?

Hi Chris. I don't remember what the first measuring unit was when I bought it or if I had to change it. I use it on ounces most of the time and it turns back on to the last unit you used. It is very easy to switch between units, just the push of the button.

It saves the last units you put it in. So if you put it in pounds, turned it off, then turned it back on it'd still be in pounds.

It stays on until you shut it off. However, it has a sleep mode if not used for a while. All you have to do is touch the scale to wake it up. If not used for awhile (15 minutes or so), and it has not switched to sleep mode, the scale will show .03 (or some other number). We just touch the scale, wait one or two seconds, and then place the next package on it. There may be a setting that will prevent this, but we haven't taken the time to check for it. It doesn't bother us as it is.

I have been using it for 6-7 years and have not changed it. Scale turns off if not in use

When you get on the scale, the display flashes when the weight is stable. Now, you can get off the scale. After you get off the scale, the weight is still displayed for about 10 seconds before it is shutoff. Its not in minutes, but it stays on for 10 seconds.

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

This scale shuts down about 2 mins after no input to change the display. I do not know how you use your scale but if you are weighing several items or hundreds of items on this scale it will not auto-shut off in the middle of your operation unless the battery is depleated. This scale has a low battery warning.

Items can be weighed to ounces and tenths of ounces...just set on firm table and good to go! You'll love this scale, it automatically turns off...so weigh a puppy, and continue with puppy care, do not have to be bothered with turning unit off, and it just is a press of a button to turn on.

Using the AC adapter has nothing to do with the Auto Off function. You need to turn the Auto Off function off. With the scale off, hold down the MODE button and press the power button (momentarily) to turn the scale on. The display will show A_ON. Press the MODE button once and the display should show A_OFF. A_OFF means the auto off function is off. Power the scale off then back on and you are good to go.

Not that I know of but I like the auto shutoff as I forget to turn it off. This does have a longer on time then my old scale did.

While the scale is on, you can switch from oz to grams. If you turn it off the scale while set to oz and then turn it back on, it will resume at oz and vice versa. The other convenient feature is the surface is entirely flat which helps w the cleaning process.

If no activity is occurring, the scale stays on for 1 minute. Pressing the mode button if not actively weighing will reset the off timer and stay on for another minute. As long as weighing is occurring, i.e., as long as the display is changing, the unit will stay on. It only cycles off if no change in the display occurs after 1 minute.

My only complaint about this scale: it does shut off automatically after 2min without a significant change to the mass on the platform. I prefer no automatic shutoff but if you do prefer it this balance could not be more perfect

I often leave my scale powered on until it turns itself off, and the weight (even measuring in grams) remains zero. A couple of ideas: 1. does your unit turn itself off after a minute or so? If not, that's probably a sign it is bad and should be replaced (for free IMO), 2. have you reset the tare by pressing the power button (not enough to turn it off) and seen the weight continue to increase? Again, just my opinion, but it sounds like MIRA should replace your unit for free, though I'm unsure how long you've had it, so that will factor in. Good luck.

any scale can be at sometime. Have you been stepping on it so it registers some weight, then stepping off and waiting until it zeroes? That was my original mistake...not doing this. Was about to toss it, but now it works fine and is consistent

I'm afraid I don't understand the question. So I'll tell you what I know about it. After taking my weight, the display goes off after about 5 seconds . So there is no weight constantly on. (If yours stays on perhaps it's defective?) When the next person steps on it, the display comes on and begins to show the new weight. This occurs whether the succeeding weight is a person, or an object.

The display part of the scale is not mounted to the scale itself. It's tethered so to speak.It can be unplugged from the scale if needed.

It's been awhile since I bought it. I don't remember, but I can tell you I have not had any problems the scale. It has worked flawlessly and it's eztremely accurate.
