A.ch.Er User Repair:
If your display is stuck showing A.ch.Er, it means that the signal coming from the load cell to the processor is
out of the range of normal. The most often cause of this is that the load cell has been pushed down due to
accidental overload (often when people are changing the batteries they accidentally push down on the tray).
Most of the time this can be fixed by simply pulling or prying up on the tray (to bend the load cell slightly up so
that it will be within spec). We build a lot of overload protection into our design, but especially with a precise
0.01gram scale, it's still possible to accidentally overload the scale.
