When you move the scale, does it need to be re-calibrated?

Nope. I've not had any issues with this scales on moving it. I have two little ones so it gets moved around plenty. It also seems to work the same regardless of where I put it. Hope that helps!

No I do not believe so. When you step on it the weight doesnt change (and I purposely moved the scale to see if I stood on it different or if I moved it around with my feet-) seemed to stay the same with no change.

I did not know for sure myself, so I contacted the manufacturer. They got back to me within a day by the way, very fast. I was told that these particular scales have no need to be recalibrated. They were very concerned why I was asking and asked if I was having problems with it. I told them no just wanted to know how to recalibrate it. If I was having problems with it they were quickly going to replace it. I was impressed, seem to be a good company that is wanting to make sure their customers are happy.

The scale is automatically calibrated to zero when the scale is turned on as long as it is on a flat level surface with nothing on the scale. If you are weighing items over and over again and somehow with nothing on it, it does not show zero, then you can hit the "tare" button and it will re-zero itself out.

These weights are used by individual users to verify the scale's accuracy. If found to be inaccurate, then the scales need to be returned to the manufacturer (or authorized service) for re-calibration/repair. Most of today's scales aren't able, or aren't economical to repair.

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

The scale must be calibrated for accuracy. Directions are provided in the user's guide to calibrate the machine.

When you want to weigh, you put a foot on the scale and then remove it. The scale then autocalibrates itself and when it flashes "0.00" you step back on and weigh.Note that if you want to weigh again after that (or if someone else wants to weigh), you have to step off and the scale will clear its display in a few seconds (3-5 I think). Then you do the recalibrate + weigh procedure all over again.

Yes it can be re-calibrated if necessary. When I do it the scaleasks for a 1000.0 g weight. I don't have any so I just check itwith the smaller weight set I have. You can buy the weighton ebay for 17 USD or so. Wish they stated this in the productdescription.Good luck.Joe

Yes, but the scale loses its setting COnstantly. You have to fiddle with the adjuster back and forth EVERY TIME. Get another scale. This one sucks!!!

Yes, it changed depending on where it was setting, it changed even when I never moved it. The company said it was because I had it setting on a linoleum floor, which was the hardest floor in my house. I'm not sure I buy that explanation. I sent it back to Amazon. Do not buy this scale!

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.

I have not yet encountered this problem. I would think re-calibration would have to be done by service technician people. I do not find any measurement "0 in" feature in on my unit, such as what my digital micrometer has. To be accurate, a definate test fixture would need to be used for calibration.

Yes but I don't recomend this scale. You have to adjust it back and corth EVERY TIME!!

It's my understanding that if you move the scale you need to recalibrate it. That, if I remember, involved stepping on it and then stepping off. It think as with any device or instrument of this kind the less it gets moved the better.

The instructions say it needs to recalibrate. That may be a hassle. But it is a good scale.

Hi Alex,That does mean that it can be calibrated. We also have a video to walk you through the process see it here. http://youtu.be/uN5Xrm3CPEw

The key to keeping a scale accurate is put it in one spot and try not to move it. This scale has been accurate for us.
