When you move the scale, does it need to be re-calibrated?

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.

Yes, that is what I found. I have a small bathroom and don't have the room to leave the scale out; so it is stored on edge next to the cabinet. With the Tap-to-zero scale this replaced, this was never as issue and weighing took 15-20 secs. With the MIRA Instant On I have to:-step on and wait until the scale settles and flashes-step off and wait until the display is off-then re-weigh myself.I consistently see a 1-6 lb difference between the two readings. The scale is consistent after that...until it is stored back on edge. Perhaps not what it was designed to do, and the reason why I didn't return it. I don't know your application and I have not tested moving it from one flat place to another. Good luck. Yes, that is what I found.

No. And it was calibrated right out of the box. Came with the necessary 4 batteries. I just inserted the batteries and it was all set to go. Well actually it was set for kilos, but all I had to do was press the button (between the batteries slots) twice and got pounds. Pressing once got me stones. Hope this helps.

From my experience, it doesn't matter how many times you move the scale. You will always get the same result. It's been an excellent scale!

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.

Yes but I don't recomend this scale. You have to adjust it back and corth EVERY TIME!!

When I purchased this scale it was already pre-calibrated. I just used it right away and have never had a problem with it being inaccurate!

There is no calibration to this scale. It does have a ZERO or TARE setting so you can adjust for containers. Hope this helps

No I do not believe so. When you step on it the weight doesnt change (and I purposely moved the scale to see if I stood on it different or if I moved it around with my feet-) seemed to stay the same with no change.

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer. I have only had the scale for 3 or 4 months and have not needed to reset it yet. If I can find my instruction book, I will look in there and will try to find the answer for you.

These weights are used by individual users to verify the scale's accuracy. If found to be inaccurate, then the scales need to be returned to the manufacturer (or authorized service) for re-calibration/repair. Most of today's scales aren't able, or aren't economical to repair.

In addition to info. below-- do remember that it will need to be recalibrated every time you move it--even if moving it a little. I think that means doing what K. Jackson, below, said to do. Good luck...

There is a small button on the back of the scale. Looks like a tiny reset button.

This scale does need you to be still for a moment, but it responds quickly. If you are moving, you do shift the weight that is shown on the display. It can give you a couple of different weights if you move too much.

It self calibrated when I first set it up. I have moved it twice since then with no problems.

The key to keeping a scale accurate is put it in one spot and try not to move it. This scale has been accurate for us.

Yes, it is possible to recalibrate it...instructions are included in package.

The manufacturer will install the battery backwards so it doesn't run out during shipping. So if the battery is in but the scale is not on, flip the battery over.
