Does this scale come pre calibrated? What is the power source?

The scale will zero itself out with each use. It runs on an internal battery. A great scale for the money

Did not come with weight. Scale must be calibrated. Suggest amazon search 200g weight

Not necessary. Comes pre-calibrated. You get to pick between 4 weights: g, kg, oz, and one other that I can't remember (but description lists them all).

The scale has automatic calibration. This scale does not appear to be NTEP approved, meaning it is not the type of scale that is legal for trade.

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...

There is no initial calibration needed and I don't find anything regarding instructions on how to calibrate it should there be the need to in the future. I am assuming that since it works as most digital scales do, measuring changes in electrical resistance distributed to load cells, calibration is performed at the factory and would need to be performed by the factory in the future if there was a need to do so. I have had other digital scales which operated the same way and lasted for many years. It measures the same as a mechanical scale I have so I believe it is accurate from the factory. The only way to tell for sure is to locate a standard and periodically check to ensure it is calibrated against that standard.

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

The scales are digital. Calibrated. Weighs uo to 300kg. Battery power! 2 AAA Hope this helps.

I didn't need to calibrate. I did test it on 3 items that I knew the exact weight of and it was right on each time.

I only use this scale at my farmers market to weigh produce. I believe you have to get a special scale to get what you want as far as calibration. I know there out there. I would google scales with calibration and that should take you to a company, but expect to spend quite a bit.

To be honest with you I don't recall.. I can't imagine that it does not, but I was not satisfied w/the results in pounds (when compared to other scales I had) so I returned it for lack of accuracy. The lack of accuracy would have reflected both in pounds and kilograms so the issue was moot to me. I highly recommend that you read all reviews before deciding to buy this product!

I'm pretty sure there's no way to recalibrate it. If there is, it isn't mentioned in the manual. Basically, Escali is saying that some of their scales have a calibration feature (I don't think this model does though). For the scales without a calibration feature, you could buy a reference weight to see how accurate the scale is (that's a weight that is guaranteed to weigh a certain amount, within a specified tolerance), but after you figured that out, there's no way to calibrate the scale to correct for the discrepancy. (For the record, mine has been plenty accurate for anything I've used it for. I haven't used a reference weight to check its accuracy or anything, but I haven't ran into any recipes that needed a super-high degree of accuracy anyway.)

I discovered after I had the same issue that I needed to press the scale quickly and let it "set". When you see the zero's on the display, you can then step on the scale and it will calibrate your weight. Hope this helps.

The scale comes pre calibrated with a certificate of calibration. However if you still want to check accuracy just use a dime or nickel.

Matt, Yes it does...it comes with a little aluminum cup with pour spout, small but functional...also come with a weight to calibrate scale. This is a nice scale...I ditched my manual scale after I got this!

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.

No it's not pre-calibrated however photography and videography is specifically what I bought this monitor for. Monitors go out of calibration and knowing that ahead of time, I bought the Datacolor Spyder4Elite S4EL100 Colorimeter for Display Calibration a few years back. I calibrate it every 3 months.
