Can the calibration be adjusted if the scales gets out of calibration?

As I recall the calibrates when you tap the platform with your foot and let it settle. You need to do this whenever the unit is moved.

Excerpt from e-mail:BEST PRACTICES FOR OPERATING YOUR NEW SCALE1. Find a flat, hard surface for your scale. Certain softer floor surfaces can cause problems with accuracy.2. Move your scale as little as possible. The less you move it, the less it needs to be calibrated and you should get maximum accuracy out of the unit.3. Call or email for support! We are here to help!

Yes, this is referred to as the "tare" function on a scale, and you'll notice in the picture for this scale one of the buttons has a "T" on it which stands for tare. Just set the container on there (the cover for this scale works well for small amounts of measuring) then hit the "T" button on the right and you'll see the measurement reset to zero. Once you do this you have zeroed the scale out and can measure whatever you want without having to subtract. No need to power it on with the container already on as the tare function makes this method obsolete.

No, the temp would not change the scale as it measures the transparency of the fluid. Do it cold for convenience.

I do not recall anything about calibration and I no longer have it. After spending two days with very unusual readings, I threw it in the trash. I purchased a used military compass which still works after 30 years.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

tap the scale lightly until it reads 0. let the scale turn off. that should recalibrated it

There are lots of things that can effect a scales accuracy. Ie: carpet, uneven tile, leaning one way or another. To use mine I have to move it out from the wall place it on even tile,(challenging because my bathroom has small tiles) stand up straight, and not tough anything (like the wall for balance).

The scale comes pre calibrated with a certificate of calibration. However if you still want to check accuracy just use a dime or nickel.

Not that I know of. I was able to return this scale. It's the worst one 've ever owned. It wasn't accurate at all after a couple of months.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

I bought this scale about a month ago. I also wanted to calibrate it. As I have background in electronics, I took the back over off to look for a way to adjust it. I could find no mechanical adjustment anywhere. There is soldered pin sticking out of the printed circuit board with the label "cal", which is almost certainly an electronic calibration connection. As there is no physical adjustment capability apparent, I suspect that adjustment is done electronically at the factory. Just my opinion.

Hi, I checked the manual it does not list calibration procedures. This is an inexpensive unit and when it goes bad it is time for a new one. I had their previous model for 5 years before it needed to be replaced. Good luck

What the manual is saying if you calibrate this scale at say 100 ft above sea level and than use the scale at 10,000 ft above sea level you will need to recalibrate the scale.

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

Unfortunately not. The reading changes instantly. I had to buy a bowl with a bottom diameter about the size of the scale one.
