When i turn it on, it automatically has a minus sign. How do i get rid of that minus sign? I usually weigh in grams... pounds less often. Thanks

Funny I don't see that on mine. .. only shows up if I remove a container after tare has been set. If you are seeing this with nothing on the scale, hit tare and see if it goes away. If not you may have a defective unit.

I don't measure in grams so I'm sorry I can't be of help to you. I can tell you the only time I have a minus sign is when I use a container and the scale automatically subtracts the weight of the container from the actual contents being measured if it is placed on the scale prior to adding the contents.

My weight display is not in pounds. It shows as 9: 8.2. Does anyone know how to change this... or decode it?

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

Mine was not DOA we touched it came on got it to 0.0 then someone stood on it, registered weight then oooo came w/the rest of the reading. Try to make sure it is 0.0 first before getting on.

I have had this scale for two months and love it. Today it gives me an error message of 0-Ld and the weight swings wildly. Put in a new battery but it doesn't help!!! Can it be fixed?

You must be very careful when you change the battery not to turn the scale upside down and press down. I read this in one of the reviews before I bought my scale. I don't know how to fix the problem.

You have to reset it everytime you use it which is a real pain. Its the thing I like LEAST about it. Just keep pressing that start button till it gets to ounces OR pounds/ounces.

I don't think so. I've never used it if it has. I've changed from lbs to kg for sure. I just step up on it to turn it on and it turns itself off a little while after i step off. Hope that helps.

you need to balance it, by pressing long on the right buttonthe reason it is this way is because it allows you to put a container on it and balance it to 0 - it will measure what you put in the container without the weight of the container...

I don't know. Maybe try new batteries, if it still didn't work I would sent it back. The one had had would turn on but wasn't accurate at all (would give vastly different weights within minutes of each other). Good luck!

I just received this scale today, threw a brand new Energizer 9-volt into it, and was able to set it up to weigh in lbs rather than kgs. Getting it to weigh me isn't so easy; I step on it... it doesn't turn on. I tap it first with my foot... stilll nothing. If I reach down and push the mode button, THEN it works. Bending over to turn on a scale isn't very convenient; what a piece of junk!

You have the option of programming the scale to turn off automatically or to stay on. I left the setting to shut off automatically; have not changed that; and have not had the scale turn off before I was ready for it to do so.

this has not been a problem for me. Are you zeroing it out? Has this been a problem from the first for you? Mine has always settled in, but there are occassions when it does kind of go back and forth between for example 27g and 28 g if you are really on the edge of a little more than 27g and a little less than 28g. I hope this is helpful. If yours is bouncing all over then perhaps you have a defective one. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck.

Mine does the same...intermittently. I don't know why. I have ascertained that it is NOT BROKEN. Just stuck. I keep tapping my foot lightly in the center of the scale until it shows 3 zeros. 00.0 Then I am able to weigh myself and get a proper reading. I weigh myself twice to be certain. Good luck. It is moody but, A great scale in general.

I put a bag on the scale and zeroed the scale. I then poured material out of the bag. The scale have me a negative weight

I rarely just step on it. If it happens to be down and the screen is not on I will tap it with my foot on top of the glass wait for it to settle to zero then stand on it for my measurement.if that dont work isvthere fresh batteries in it? New in the scale package dont mean fresh
