If I suspect that the accuracy is "off," can this scale be recalibrated? If so, how? And what size weight is required? Where to get?

Hi Robert, I do not know whether the scale can be re-calibrated. I ship my packages through the USPS and deliver them to the local post office for shipment. At that time they weigh the package for my receipt and one of the clerks always remarks that my weights are spot on. At home, I take care of the scale as far as storage is concerned and treat it as a delicate instrument. You will have to contact Pelouze for advice on how/if the unit may be calibrated. I have one of their smaller scales and the lower weights are identical. Hope this helps. Peter

There is a small know like thing next to the battery. If you switch it the scale should be updated to KG.

Hello Pavan. I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your product. Perhaps there is a reason for the fluctuation. Have you placed the scale on a steady surface, free of movement and/or vibration? For further assistance, you can contact me directly via email [esty@measupro.com] or telephone [855-797-2253]. Kind regards, Esty Smart Weigh Scales

I just added a scan of the instructions to Amazon. It may be hard to read, but if you flip the scale over, there is a switch to the right for adjustments. Hope this helps.

As with most mechanical scales, it would be more accurate consistently if it were on a level surface. However, if you are OK with the inaccuracy of a scale on an uneven surface, than it should be fine.

Sorry, but at the end I did not buy that scale, I bought one from another seller.Guess who makes them?: ChinaThe way I found out is to call the seller and ask him a tricky question; like: what about if scale accuracy is not what scale manual states? He will most likely state he will contact the mfr: Bingo!( For your information if the manual says scale has an accuracy of +/- 0.2 pounds of full scale reading, this means for example if you weigh yourself and scale reads 110 pounds +/- 0.2 pounds for a total of 109.8 pounds or 110.2 pounds.So Accuracy is OK. If the deviation is greater, scale accuracy is bad) Sorry, but at the end I did not buy that scale, I bought one from another seller.Guess who makes them?: ChinaThe way I found out is to call the seller and ask him a tricky question; like: what about if scale accuracy is not what scale manual states?

I can't say for certain if a scale such as this can be certified. It has no adjustment that I'm aware of so if it needed to be calibrated, I don't know how it could be achieved. If I were you, I would search online for companies that do this type of certification service and inquire with them directly.

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.

I purchased this scale as a teaching tool. Since receiving your question I have been using calibrated weights to check accuracy and it has been spot on. I have also rigged an apparatus that allows us to weigh odd shaped items such as a flake of hay and I have found this scale to very handy in the barn. I do not know how to calibrate it and it is clearly marked "not legal for trade" I hope this is useful.

I would try to take the battery out then place it back in. I know for sure that the results I receive is accurate because after weighing myself for about a week, I went to the doctors and the scale read exactly the same. I do know that where you store your scale is also major. The bathroom is not good. The moisture and hot steam will disrupt it's normal function. I had one similar and the bathroom destroyed it. I hope this was helpful.

According to the User Manual, the scale can be calibrated. We have tried the feature, just for fun, and by using a 100 g. weight, it gets calibrated automatically. Simple to follow instructions.

Honestly, you will want a scale that will measure to the .001, and a scale such as this would be doing you a disservice for that amount of accuracy. I would check in to a higher end scale, not a pocket scale like this one.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

If the scale came to you like that (can't set to zero), I would say it's faulty and should be returned.

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.

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.

Hello, I find the scale doesn't hold tolerance and measurements are all over the map and calibration wasn't an option.
