does it work out of the box? Someone wrote it has to be calibrated, I have no precise weights to do that.

Yes it does work right out-of-the-box. The ounces has only two digits so anything above 9 you do not have tenths of an ounce. I don't think it has to be calibrated.

mine worked out of the box with no probe and the weight was exact as I checked with a friends scale. Its not as beefy as a stainless one I had but is the perfect size for my shipping table, so I don't move it much to maximize its longevity.

I do not recall anything about calibration and I no longer have it. After spending two days with very unusual readings, I threw it in the trash. I purchased a used military compass which still works after 30 years.

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

Yes it does have to be programmed, the description lists it as "not calibrated"

I don't believe the machine can be calibrated, at least I haven't noticed an option. Also the readings are not always consistent if you take a few back to back. Have others noticed this?

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

I believe it takes a measurement everytime it is used, you can see the number fluctuate if you are moving or holding on to something. It seems very consistent I have weighed free weights just to test it out and it has been correct everytime.

No. And it was calibrated right out of the box. Came with the necessary 4 batteries. I just inserted the batteries and it was all set to go. Well actually it was set for kilos, but all I had to do was press the button (between the batteries slots) twice and got pounds. Pressing once got me stones. Hope this helps.

call customer service # in your book, sounds like you need to re calibrate it. LOL Get ready take to a gym, you need like 300 lbs of weight to calibrate.

If you look at the face of the scale it says it weighs to 100g (grams). It is strange that it would calibrate at the far end of its range though rather than somewhere near the middle.

not with any kind of accuracy. it's not weighted for that as-is. You might be able to modify it for that purpose but i wouldn't recommend it.

I am not sure what you mean by calibrate, but it may require some adjustment to be perfectly sighted in at your desired distance. It includes tools for making the adjustments and some rudimentary instructions.

As I recall the calibrates when you tap the platform with your foot and let it settle. You need to do this whenever the unit is moved.

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.

No, you do not have to calibrate this scale. It work great just out of the box. I highly recommend it!

I think so but I'm uncertain. It wouldn't surprise me though if it doesn't work properly. It's probably not calibrated to work with it specifically.

I did not have to calibrate it but I can only speak for myself. I use it to ship out first class items or 1-3 pound items. When I get a reading of 4.5 ounces, I send out package at 5 ounces. I've never had an item weigh too much. Hope that helps.
