I got this as a gift and it doesnt seem to be measuring anything i put on it. I lost the manual and am wondering if I missed a step?

I didn't do anything except turn it on. Did you check to make sure the batteries are in? All I do is hit the TARE button, it comes on. If you want to change units then click the other button to change from grams to oz or whatever. The numbers should automatically appear. That's it. Nothing special to do.

I did not get this as a gift, and it was not measuring correctly, I use the manual, and followed the steps, and it still would not give me the correct measure, I make homemade soap and bought this scale hoping that it would live up to the reviews, but it did not. I tried this scale on two batches of soap and each time it gave me the incorrect measurements, I had to end up recalculating my soap recipe. I know what the reviews said and I bought it based on the reviews, but as I said in my review, I will not purchase this again.

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.

You should be able to run your fingers along it and count. But you should be able to measure the length. It should also say what model it fits so if you know your model you should be good.

There is a small know like thing next to the battery. If you switch it the scale should be updated to KG.

It's in another location, so I can do measure if you need - but the manual should be attached to this website somewhere, and in the back of the book they have the exact measurements for every peice.

I bumped it around a little & nothing comes out...the system is very sturdy & a timed measuring system rather than "measuring cup that rotates like a watermill" that makes sense. Also nothing to get to if sneaking paw n chute (but there's a cover for the chute just n case anyhow)

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...

It takes 2 people. Hold the measuring tape just inside the frame and have the other person walk straight across from you. They should also take the measurement just inside the frame. Counting the spring holes also helps.

Sorry.. We moved and I don't have access to measure. We updated our hardware to sell the house. Guess it worked.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

Yep measure or contact the company. We had one that worked and one that didn't.

I suggest returning it and get another package. My purchase is still loose and I can measure it out.

I would have to get mine back out, I haven't used it in a while, but ther eis nothing to set. Your steps are measured by the jarring motion of the machanism. As for instructions, if I remember correctly, just push the button until the pedometer displays what you are looking for and hold the button down to reset the counts. I can get mine out and double check if you'd like though.

This has to be some kind of joke. I don't understand. . .You ask for the dimension and I took pains to measure the inside of every dimension of every shelf, width and height, even the 1/2 inch legs. If the information I sent doesn't work for you I can't imagine what use you could have for precise measurements unless you are sending a rocket to Mars. You really should appreciate the time I dedicated getting the measurements accurate. I will give a lot of thought to anyone else Amazon sends to me for help.

I found nothing in the instructions on how to calibrate. We just installed ours and so far it's accurate. Time will tell.
