My scale reads my weight two pounds less than the official weigh-in scale at my weight watchers meeting. How can I adjust my scale?

You can't, that scale is a piece of junk, I can weigh myself and reset the scale several times and it gives me a 5lbs range, totally unreliable

When weighing yourself you have to do it at the same time, preferably not having eaten, wearing the same clothes, etc. If you hold all factors constant and you home scale is always 2 lbs less...I truly do not know how to adjust it. Perhaps there is a customer service number in the manual. Otherwise, I would do what I do with my doctor's scale. I just subtract 2 -3 lbs in my mind for clothes, shoes, and what I ate and drank before I got to the doctor. Sorry it is not like the old scales where you just turn a knob. Sorry I can't help more. Good luck with your diet.

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

I just tested my scale with gram & ounce weights and it will not show a weight. If you want to weigh items that light I woul recommend a small scale available on Amazon. I have the "My Weigh Triton T2 550g x 0.1g Digital Pocket Scale" works fantastic.

I don't have my owners manual handy but I believe it has to do with setting the scale to read in pounds vs Kg. I think it only read 2 places when using Kg? You question dosen't indicate which setting you're using.

Unfortunately not. The reading changes instantly. I had to buy a bowl with a bottom diameter about the size of the scale one.

I just checked mine and on the ounce display the item I was weighing showed 0 pounds 2 1/4 ounces. It is a great scale and I too use it everyday. Hope this helps.

I have weight items as small as 0.2 grams but I dont know how accurate it is. I have also tested it and found it to be accurate from 1 gram to 50. Good product.

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.

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.

After you turn on the scale, just press the "mode" button. The display screen will switch from ounces to grams (it's kind of small and hard to see).

I'm pretty sure there's no way to recalibrate it. If there is, it isn't mentioned in the manual. Basically, Escali is saying that some of their scales have a calibration feature (I don't think this model does though). For the scales without a calibration feature, you could buy a reference weight to see how accurate the scale is (that's a weight that is guaranteed to weigh a certain amount, within a specified tolerance), but after you figured that out, there's no way to calibrate the scale to correct for the discrepancy. (For the record, mine has been plenty accurate for anything I've used it for. I haven't used a reference weight to check its accuracy or anything, but I haven't ran into any recipes that needed a super-high degree of accuracy anyway.)

Just weighed it with me on digital bathroom scales, twice. Minus my weight, apparently between 2.2 & 2.4 lbs..

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 weigh yourself, tap the top of scale with your foot, wait until the display reads 00, and then stand on the scale. Be as still as you can, and in a few seconds your weight will register. If you move too much while you're waiting for the reading, you will get an error message. Get off the scale, wait until the message disappears, and try again. If the batteries are almost dead, you will get an error message as soon as you tap the scale.

You have to check the instructions that came with your type of scale. You may also call their service dept and they might help you. Check on line if you do not have the instructions. Good luck.

Kim, I sympathize with you! My scale is inaccurate also. I'm going to leave a negative review on Amazon. Have you communicated with them? Good luck.

There is a button on the bottom of the scale towards the front. Just push it until you get the desired unit if measurement. Hope this helps :)
