I have had this scale for several months. No instructions came with it and that has been frustrating. What does "TARE" mean? what does that button do?

Tare sets the scale to zero, no matter what is being weighed. For example, put a bowl on it, hit "Tare", now the scale reads zero. Now you could weigh something in that bowl and know exactly what it weighs.

The tare button is for resetting the scale to zero. I always press it after turning the scale on and before laying the baby down to ensure an accurate number.

Right on both counts, Connie. This scale does have a TARE button as well as a measuring tape which is a pull-out.

If you use this technique you can... place a flat stable item on it, then place the plate. Is it stable? Now, if you can see the display, use those 2 as your tare weight. Take off plate put what you what onto weigh on it put it back on the "stand" and it will give you a true measure just like using a smaller plate!

You have to stay on the scale until the gauge thing at the top goes all the way to the right and then it will start displaying all the additional information. If you step on, the weight is displayed and then step off, the scale doesn't have time to calculate the information. You also need to stand still.

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.

There is no scale with this unit, and I did not see any options to purchase a scale. This is a very inexpensive loupe, so maybe there are other loupes available with a scale.

There is a small button on the back of the scale. Looks like a tiny reset button.

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

I keep pressing the button underneath, and I have no idea why one method of measuring weight comes up and not another. However, I can use any of them easily, so it's not a problem to me. I suggest you contact the company and perhaps the mystery of why you can only get that one will be solved. Aside from the fact that I don't control the weight indicator, I love this scale. I can easily pack it in and I weigh my food on the plate I'm going to use eating. It's really ingenious. I enjoy it.

Though I have not tried that, I am going to guess no. I believe that the total capacity of this scale is 15 lbs, so when you place an object on the scale and then press the button for the tare feature, all the scale has done is reset the readout to zero...but it is still registering the weight of the container because it is still carrying the weight of the container. In other words, if you need a scale that will handle more than 15 lbs including the container, go ahead and buy one that will handle more weight.

I don't have my owners manual handy but I believe it has to do with setting the scale to read in pounds vs Kg. I think it only read 2 places when using Kg? You question dosen't indicate which setting you're using.

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.

Turn scale on....put contanier your using on scale....push"Tare" button....the scale will show "zero"......now your ready to weigh any product you would like without having the container included....

The one I got didn't work. When I was chopping up veg's, and adding them bit by bit to the bowl sitting on the scale, it turned off in the middle of it, even though there was only a few seconds delay between adding things to the bowl. Then I tried pressing buttons and I wasn't able to get the weight back. It came back as 0. So I returned that scale and bought another of the same model, and it did the same thing.

Not sure what you are describing. To weigh something with a container.. I put the empty container on the scale TAP once on the left side "button" and it zeros out. Then add the ingredient amount needed to the container by weight. If you need to add a second ingredient by weight tap once again.. it will zero out.

Yes it does. And what's nice is that you can remove the container after hitting the tare button, and the scale remembers the value (it will then show a negative value when the container is removed). So it allows you to remove the container and fill it at a more convenient location and then place the filled container back on the scale to weigh the contents' weight.

I guess it has a battery. It began working right away. You have to tap it - let it display a zero then step on it. Very accurate scale - looks good too!
