What type of weight is necessary to calibrate the unit?

Hello, In order to calibrate the i300, you would need a 200 gram calibration weight. They can be purchased on our site for $8.90 with free shipping. Thank you. Have a great day.

The scale must be calibrated for accuracy. Directions are provided in the user's guide to calibrate the machine.

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

It did not need calibration although I did check to make sure it was correct when I received it. I have owned it for over a year now and I keep it turned off when not using it so the batteries are still strong. I did not buy an adapter. I truly love mine. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to see, so having the weight displayed right up close is wonderful. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Its always best to calibrate to a known weight. I did not have any known weights, so I calibrated it to zero (ie no weight). For my purposes, this was sufficient.

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.

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

Mine arrived perfectly ready to go. No calibration needed. Great scale. Works perfectly for my needs and looks sleek and modern.

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.

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.

Hi, I am assuming you are asking for the unit of measurement and the answer would be pounds or kilograms.

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

No does not require calibration. I compared with another scale and it was accurate.

You only need the recommended paper. It comes in little packets of 10. Open the outer wrap, there is a calibration card that instructs how to load. Drop in the stack as directed. It will eject the calibration card and you'll be set to go.

Calibration certificate is a question for the manufacturer, however, you could go to a local independent certification vendor or send it to a business, such as Rice Lake who does these certifications. The scale is a rather inexpensive model ...and if I didn't need a calibration certificate, I would do my own calibration - using several other scales, and documenting the results, on a regular basis

The maximum weight is 20 graims. Place the two supplied 10 graim weights and calibrate. If you need more accuracy buy an expensive scale. This is a great accurate scale for the price.

It does not require calibration, but it sometimes under-weighs by .1 ounce. I bought a set of 1 oz and 2 oz weights and test it occasionally, especially when I get a reading that is exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces.
