VIII. Calibration
Calibration and adjustment are performed at the factory.
However, the weighing range can shift slightly during

1. Place the required calibration weight on the scale
and note the displayed value.
2. If the displayed value is not within acceptable
tolerance (see chart below), adjustment is required.
