Can this scale be calibrated? Or does it automatically calibrate since it is digital?

unsure but I've had it for several months and it is acurate. My only complaint is the digital numbers are not lit up.Read out is grey with black numbers, but very big read out.

it can not be calibrated. We are using it in medical office to weigh people in exam rooms rather than hallway scale.

When you want to weigh, you put a foot on the scale and then remove it. The scale then autocalibrates itself and when it flashes "0.00" you step back on and weigh.Note that if you want to weigh again after that (or if someone else wants to weigh), you have to step off and the scale will clear its display in a few seconds (3-5 I think). Then you do the recalibrate + weigh procedure all over again.

The scale is self-calibrating (simply step on ,off and on again). It needs to be on a level hard floor (not carpeted). It is more accurate and consistent than several previous scales that we owned (both digital and analog). If it not as described, the unit might be defective. You can talk to customers' service which is supposed to be excellent per other veviewers.

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.

I wish I could sincerely answer your question. This device has not been the best so far. Constant calibration and off results. I would suggest investing a little bit more money on a better scale.

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?

The scale is automatically calibrated to zero when the scale is turned on as long as it is on a flat level surface with nothing on the scale. If you are weighing items over and over again and somehow with nothing on it, it does not show zero, then you can hit the "tare" button and it will re-zero itself out.

We have been using the scale 4 months, we have not calibrated it. We used it right out of the box, just make sure to use, on a level flat surface.

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

Yes, it states in materials you receive with scale that when you move it around it may have to recalibrate. However this is automatic and you do not need to do anything special.

I don't know what your talking about, but this scale has always stayed in calibration. It'll accurately weigh up to 100 grams within 0.00g. It weighs in grams to 2 decimal places.

Yes it is! However I have a digital scale that I use now and it's superior to this scale!

Some digital personal scales costing 6 times as much advertise an accuracy of +- 1%. So if you weighted 150# the scale could read +-1.5 # or 3 pounds. Just because it has a resolution of .1# doesn't mean it' that accurates.

tap the scale lightly until it reads 0. let the scale turn off. that should recalibrated it

No, It only measures by the cup. You can adjust the amount the cup will dispense with a knob so I think you could calibrate, with a scale, the amount that is dispensed by weight. I bought this machine because it is excellent in it's consistency of the grind and the and the amount it dispenses.

Lol.I haven't tried yet. As I stated,mine is off by 10lbs. I guess check on line and see if they have instructions on how to calibrate. Good luck

I can't say for certain if a scale such as this can be certified. It has no adjustment that I'm aware of so if it needed to be calibrated, I don't know how it could be achieved. If I were you, I would search online for companies that do this type of certification service and inquire with them directly.

I had the same issue. I purchased the weights to properly calibrate but still nothing. In my honest opinion, this scale is trash. Sorry
