how do you "tare"? The description says that it has a tare function, but I don't see any buttons for it in the pictures

There is not a button for this function. If you place a bowl or item on the scale after its been turned on all you have to do is push the on button again and it will reset to 0 and not count the weight of bowl or item and then you can add food you to want to weigh.

Hello. Just raise the top until you hear a click, them you just fold the bottom into the top part. It was really easy once I figured it out.

It's easy! You'll notice that below the "On/Off" there is "Tare." Turn scale ON. Put your bowl on scale. Touch TARE, and you'll see the scale does not go off, but just goes to zero. Now you can enter contents to bowl, and get weight of contents. It's a fabulous scale! LOVE it for getting postage weight.

Yes it does have the tare button, and actually it also has a small tape measure. If I'm not mistaken it's a little over 30". But it is a great little scale, especially for the price!

Joan, ...to add to what Alan said, the Tare "button" on the right is the manual on button. I've found the auto off especially helpful because it always seems I'm weighing messy things (bulk meat I'm separating into smaller packages, etc.).

There is a "format" feature in one of the menus. The manual is not very clear, you need to tinker with it, but you will find this menu.

Funny I don't see that on mine. .. only shows up if I remove a container after tare has been set. If you are seeing this with nothing on the scale, hit tare and see if it goes away. If not you may have a defective unit.

What I do is weight my package. And that's all you have to do. Now for the tare, weight your item, press the tare, it will zero out and than you can added. Just record the difference. I use it for my fluid intake as well. Say I put 8 ounces in a glass, than only drink about half, so when I put the glass on the scale, it will show you the weight. Press tare, and it will zero out, and than add more fluid, like 4 ounces. Hope this helps.

Sadly, I don't know. I have looked for them myself but I have not been able to find any. That being said, I might be able to answer your questions on how it's supposed to function. I use this item myself and it's fairly simple to use. What do you want to know about it?

There is an FN key, but it does not look like function keys. I don't know if there is a way to use other keys for this purpose, but it it is not indicated on the keyboard.

Just push and hold for a second the right hand button, same as turning on the sca.A shortcut is to place the container on the scale ffirst, then push the on button, the scale will automatically start with the tare at zero.

You can not turn it of however, once you take item of scale hit the on/tare button. That will reset it to zero.

Good question and according to the instructions it does do tare weight; it's displayed as a negative. Here's the info I have from the manual -- I. TARE WEIGHING (1.) Turn on the scale as described above. (2.) Place a container on the scale hook and wait for it to stabilize (HOLD will be displayed). 3. Tap the [] button. "0.00" or "0" will be displayed. (4.) You can now add items to the container or tray to obtain just the weight of the contents. (5.) When the container is removed, a negative number will be displayed. Press [] again to zero the scale. Note: The "[]" is the icon on the scale, which didn't copy here. But here's a link to the PDF: http://www.americanweigh.com/images/PDF/SR-Series_manual.pdf (search term "tare").

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you.V/RJackie

Where the release button is...make sure you pull it up. It's kind of difficult and I actually had to look on youtube to watch a commercial of someone folding it back up. No there were no instructions like you said...very frustrating!

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.
