How do I calibrate the scale? Is there a tare button?

Not that I know of. I was able to return this scale. It's the worst one 've ever owned. It wasn't accurate at all after a couple of months.

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

In the User Manual, there are no instructions for calibrating this particular model (ME-5KG), so I'm fairly certain calibration is not available for this scale.

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.

The tare feature works either automatically by placing the 'tray' to tare out on the scale first and then powering on the scale or by re-calibrating by hitting the tare button with the scale powered on. You can over weigh by using too heavy a tare item so be careful.

It should be easy to calibrate (and never assume any measuring device is "factory calibrated"!). Just put an empty container on the scale, press the tare button. Scale should now read 0. Pour a cup of water and the weight should be 8.3 oz.

The scale calibrates when it turns on. Just turn it off, and then turn it back on again and you should be set. Also, contact Ozeri if you still need the instruction manual.

Turn on the instrument, put the cylinder on the scale and press the zero button. Now, it reads the amount of weight lost as you put in the refrigerant. You do not enter any specific setting. If you wanted a tare weight, turn on the unit, zero it and then place the cylinder on the scale. You now have a tare weight. Not good for anything, but you have it.

It is simple, just put whatever you want to tare out on the scale and press the Z/T - On/Off button. The scale then shows 0.00 on the display, pronto!

You can not turn it of however, once you take item of scale hit the on/tare button. That will reset it to zero.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

The scale will return to zero after you remove the package. There is also a tare button that will calibrate the scale back to 0 when you press it.

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

I don't think there is any way to calibrate a scale with out using a known weight to adjust a scale with. Use another scale and fill a container with something that weights 100 grams with the container, then you can use that to calibrate the other scale. Then the scale is calibrated to the scale used the make the weight. If you have a calibrating weight it is a lot easier to check your scales. Hope this helps.

The scale is self-calibrating (simply step on ,off and on again). It needs to be on a level hard floor (not carpeted). It is more accurate and consistent than several previous scales that we owned (both digital and analog). If it not as described, the unit might be defective. You can talk to customers' service which is supposed to be excellent per other veviewers.

The first two reviewers are wrong, and MeasuRite is correct: you tare with the on/off button, as with many other digital scales. To actually turn it off, you HOLD the button for 3 seconds.

Yes it does have the tare button, and actually it also has a small tape measure. If I'm not mistaken it's a little over 30". But it is a great little scale, especially for the price!

The same happened to me! I returned it directly to the manufacture if you're still on time to return it DO IT!! and buy a different scale! Hope my advice helps you! GL
