Do you have to calibrate it ?

You do have to tell it what temp you would like. But it is very easy to use. The only thing I see is I think cord may be a little short! But so far I love this product!!

I didn't calibrate mine. I haven't compared it with other thermometers, but it seems to be working just fine.

You should calibrate any thermometer but if you are getting weird readings try changing the battery. Acurite recommends a basic alkaline not a heavy duty. This worked for mine.

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

You can actually calibrate yourself. There are many sites available on line that tell you how to do it such as this one http://www.plasmatelevisions.org/article/plasma-television-tips/how-to-calibrate-your-plasma-tv.html

Yes according to the directions. I bought it for that purpose, suitcases and shipping boxes. I've not yet had the opportubity to use it for them. Instructions have about 6 steps to calibrate.

No. You can check the accuracy with a 50 kg weight, but you need 1000 kg to calibrate.

If by "calibrate" you mean manually set the thermometer to a specific temperature, then the answer is "no". On the other hand, if you mean by "calibrate" to check out against a preset temperature, then "yes" you could do this..e.g., immersing the probe in an ice bath.

Comes with batteries and little screw driver to calibrate it (maybe this model doesn't I don't remember?). It works but get what you pay for and not the best quality, to calibrate it up use calibrate solution and follow directions.

Yes it does work right out-of-the-box. The ounces has only two digits so anything above 9 you do not have tenths of an ounce. I don't think it has to be calibrated.

I believe you can if you have physical buttons on your monitor to change the settings. If it's through software through your computer I don't believe so because the calabration program is running

Yes it does have to be programmed, the description lists it as "not calibrated"

It did not need calibration although I did check to make sure it was correct when I received it. I have owned it for over a year now and I keep it turned off when not using it so the batteries are still strong. I did not buy an adapter. I truly love mine. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to see, so having the weight displayed right up close is wonderful. I don't think you will be disappointed.

For me it was ready to rock and roll. However I would suggest you run some basic tests to make sure yours is, and that the calibration is to your personal liking.

I do not recall anything about calibration and I no longer have it. After spending two days with very unusual readings, I threw it in the trash. I purchased a used military compass which still works after 30 years.

If by calibrating you mean bringing the scale at 0 when you place on it the container in which you wish to weigh something, there is a button that calibrates the scale at its touch. It's user friendly...

The device calibrates automatically on start up. Further calibration is not necessary. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

I do not know of anyway to calibrate it. There might be a way, but I do not know. Ask BOSCH.

Does this need to be re-calibrated when you move it before you weigh yourself?
