Why does the top part of the scale open?

Although we are exceedingly please with this scale, we have never used the left up top. We assumed it was for letters but all our shipping is packages.

It is for envelopes but I have never used it I just set what ever item I have on the top platform

Good question. However I don't know the answer. I really like the scale and actually never opened the top until I got your question. Having it up would not work for me as everything I weigh is large boxes all over 5 lbs.

The top, where you sit the item, is a two-piece that that folds. It can be completely separated from the scale's body if you needed to. It probably is for preventing certain items from falling over towards the back of the scale. I haven't had the need to open it. If you're on the fence about it, don't be. I'm really pleased with it. I've sold numerous items on eBay, and none have been flagged, or returned, for insufficient shipping.

The whole top comes off, from the bottom of the design. I usually twist slightly as I pull. It won't have any grooves or anything so twisting isn't 100% necessary but it makes it a little easier. It really shouldn't be that hard to open.

Mine came like that too. If you just flip the case upside down, the scale part facing down, it should just slip out. Try tapping it on the back lightly, be ready to catch the scale so it doesn't break.

It is a bit quirky, but as others have said, it is for hanging the scales up should you wish to save space in a drawer or worktop. I guess it is a bit like hanging up pots and pans. It doesn't interfere with the scales, so it is just a matter of preference.

It is opened at the top and at the bottom. Stitching on the tent isn't great, Mine will need repairs in time.

the opening is offset. I really like my screen and I get lots of compliments on it.

Take the top off the scale (black disc-looking thing) make sure there is nothing between that and the actual scale. Look at the under side of the scale cover and make sure you are putting it back in correctly and that it fits snugly without sliding around. There are 3 lips under the scale cover that slide under the metal scale plate to lock in place. Make sure scale is sitting on a flat surface, and when you start, push "tare" (while the bowl is on it) to zero it out

The display part of the scale is not mounted to the scale itself. It's tethered so to speak.It can be unplugged from the scale if needed.

The top tray does not come off the scale. There is a function to place a plate/bowl on the scale and accurately measure your foods so foods would never have to come in contact with the scale.

I'm thinking it is the bottom. I've not used mine or unboxed it yet. Sorry I'm not much help.

As long as you turn the top clockwise the fill ring will not open. You have to physically turn the top counter clock wise to open & fill.

There is an indentation of the top so that you simply pull down the front, which hinges at the bottom.

That means you're really not clicking it into place. You have to push very hard (and pull really hard when clicking it out of place) If you look at the very top the legs, there will be a little circle with a hook like thing on botg sides. That has togo into the little blue space at the top. It's really tricky but you will hear the click and make sure it's clicked on all 4 sides

There are cut outs on the top and bottom which could be the openings that person is asking about.

It's structural. I'm not positive why it exists, but my guess is that it has to do with keeping tension on the back panel. You might be able to get a fingernail under it and pull it shut.

Your scale says hi? weird. There is several reasons a scale does that. One being too much weight, two someone programed it that way (my bro did that to me before), or three the batteries are dying.

There is a switch at the top marked open/close. Push on the side marked open to open it. When it is opened it will stick up on the other side higher than when it is closed.
