press the TARE key.
2. The scale displays “-------“. Wait until the weighing value
becomes stable.
3. The scale subtracts the weight of the tare and displays the
net weight. The zero-point mark and the net weight mark
light up.

Input a Tare Weight with the Keyboard
1. Remove everything from the weighing pan. If the display
does not show zero, press the ZERO key to show zero.
2. Press the KEYBOARD TARE key.
The weight display blinks.
3. Use the numeric keys 0 to 9 to input a tare weight.
To correct the value, press the C key and re-enter the

The tare weight is subtracted and the scale displays
the net weight. The net weight mark lights up.
The values that are entered with numerical keys are rounded
off to the minimum display of weight. For example, if entering
123 g with the GC-30K, which has minimum display of 5 g,
the tare weight is shown as 125 g.
