How long does this scale take to register? Is it right away or does it take 5-10 seconds to settle before display?

It does take a little time, but it seems to be dependent on stable weight distribution on the scale. It needs your weight to be still, not varying in where balances. Hope this makes sense.

The scale shuts off a short period of time after you step off of it. I believe it also quits connecting to your device at the same time.

It's always faster to measure than I am. But I'm using it to weight for postage. For a quick tap, I dont know and suspect you are looking at the wrong scale. It's meant for packages. Even if it read the quick tap and your software grabed only the max entry, not sure how accurate it would be. Do know that as you press on the scale, you can see the weight change on the PC. I'm using Shipworks. Hope that helps you out.

The other answers are correct however that's when the scale is completely off and you step on it. If you put some weight on it to wake it up and than step on it this time would drop to under 2 seconds.

Is your scale on a level, hard surface? If you do, you may have a defective scale. I first step on the scale and quickly step off. I wait until the scale turns off, then step on again to see my current weight.

The scale calibrates when it turns on. Just turn it off, and then turn it back on again and you should be set. Also, contact Ozeri if you still need the instruction manual.

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.

I just checked, the screen shows the weight for about 4 seconds after you get off of it. The screen is quite large and clear, so you may be able to read the weight without needing to step off the scale.

Seems to be very accurate and consistent. It measures in the tenths of a pound, though, and will take a few seconds to "settle" on a number, very sensitive to any movement while standing on it. We use it at our TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) meetings, and so far have not had anyone "blame the scale".. :)

Hello Cara, I just timed this with my phone and from the moment I weighed something to when auto shut-of kicked in was about 43 seconds. Hope this helps!

Make sure to first tap it strongly with your toe and wait to see a "0.0" on the scale before stepping onto it fully. After 1-2 seconds from the tap, the zero should appear. Step fully into the scale and within 2-3 second the number will stabilize on your weight. Additional lesson learned: Make sure your balls of your feet are fully on the scale or it'll read a little lighter than you actually are.

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

the manual says "The scale will automatically turn off after 2 minute of no use." I just now put it on a timer twice and got 40 seconds both times. I turned it on, let it zero, put something on it, let it sit, and than started the timer. It is pretty quick, but I have not had any problem using it. I recommend it. I like it. I use it in a plastic zipper bag to keep it clean. I would definately buy it again. But I am not a heavy baker. I am just measuring stuff to put into bread machine usually. It turns off but not in the middle of a measure.

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.

The scale usually responds immediately, but sometimes it takes about 20 seconds. If your working with tiny weights, it helps if you put your finger on the scale and take it of; it seems to reset the scale. Remember this is not a $300 scale. I'm willing to put up with stuff for the price. I've checked it with some balance weights and it checks fine.

Yes it will turn off after 60 seconds idle, but if you just turn it back on again without removing anything from the scale it will read as zero, which is what you tared to get. If you delay in the MIDDLE of loading and it goes off, it will again be zero when you turn it on again, not the last mass that was displayed. If what you mean when you say "take a little while to load it" means it takes time to finish loading, ie. you are adding material continuously over the 60 seconds, it shouldn't turn off. As long as the mass changes within the 60 seconds, it should stay on.
