I have this scale and whenever I turn it on, a 1-00 shows on the screen and counts up to 1-15 then starts over. How do I make it stop?

You turn the button on/ off, have it on then you choose press Unit for gram or press again for kg,press again for OZ, wait until the screen appear all 0.00 before you place your item on the scale,other wise it wouldn't work. This scale weight up to 5 kg. Check battery once a while.

Hi Natalie, I have purchased 11 of these scales between Amazon and Costco for commercial use, I have had one that has done the same thing. It is a defective scale, return it.

Did you do the initial calibration? For the first use or anytime you move the scale you have to recalibrate it. Press down with you palm and let go and then the scale should show 0.0. Then wait for the zero to go away. Then try stepping on the scale. Also make sure you're on a hard (wood or linoleum) level surface. Hope this helps!

I guess it has a battery. It began working right away. You have to tap it - let it display a zero then step on it. Very accurate scale - looks good too!

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

Another person reported this about an ERR message"The scale kept showing ERR when it arrived and I had put the batteries in it. I changed it from lbs to kgs and back to lbs. That cleared the problem and works great now. Easy to see display and auto shutoff is great." Make sure it is on a flat and level surface -- no rugs, carpets, or maps. Note that the scale may not weigh very light things under 10 or 15 pounds.

Once you step off it doesn't stay long .. but while you on scale it's showing the numbers as long as youre on the scale. Numbers are big as well in the lighted display. I love this scale.

Once the timer goes off, you hit stop and the display goes back to the amount of time you had set it for. Yes, you can hit stop part way through and hit start again to continue on the count down.

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.

It sounds like the scale needs to calibrate itself. when you first got it, did you step onto the scale to activate it and then off to get it to weigh 0 pounds? If not, you could try that.

To get it to count up just push the START/STOP when the display reads 00:00 and the timer will count up. Press START/STOP again to pause and resume timing.

When i step on my scales, it automatically gives weight. I do not have on/off button. just make sure you have batteries in place hope this helps

You have to press either the reset button or the start/stop button. If you press the reset, it just turns it off. If you press the start/stop button, it begins to count up. Hope this helps.

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.

When I get on the scale, it stabilizes to the correct weight, flashes three times, and then stays on for 5 seconds as I am standing on it, and then turns off.

This happens to me every once in a while. I just tap the scale itself so it has to recalculate the weight. I go with what it first comes up with. Also make sure your scale is out of the way of direct airflow. I have had that cause problems for me before too.

There is a little pull tab on the back of the scale. If that doesn't start it up then replace the batteries. To power on each time you have to tap on it.
