Battery Information and General Operation
This scale operates on 1
– 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery (installed). There is a strip under the
lithium battery cover to prevent battery drain in shipping. Please remove the strip before
continuing with these instructions (you may need to remove the battery compartment cover to
avoid breaking the strip). Also, some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent
scratching. Please remove before use.
Your scale has been set to measure in pounds and inches (lb). To change the measurement
units to kilograms/centimeters,
press the “UNIT” button on the bottom of the scale while the
scale is on. (Press firmly on the platform or press the “MEM” (memory) button to turn the scale
on.)
The scale needs to be initialized before first use or after battery replacement, or if it is moved or
bumped. Press firmly on the scale platform. The display will turn on and automatically turn off.
Your scale is now ready for use.
Replace the CR2032 lithium battery when “Lo” appears on the LCD screen or the readings grow
dim or irregular. To replace the battery:
1. Use one 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery.
2. Remove screw (or screws) from the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale
and remove the cover.
3. Remove the old battery from the compartment.
4. Place the new battery with the “+” sign up into the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover and screw(s).
NOTE:
Please recycle or dispose of batteries per local regulations.
WARNING:
Batteries may pose a choking hazard. As with all small items, do not let children
handle batteries. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
PRECAUTION:
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the
battery if the scale will not be used for a long period of time.
Weight Only Operation
Your Taylor® Cal-
Max™ Scale will operate as a basic weight-reading scale.
No special programming steps are required.
Once the scale is initialized, as previously described, you may simply step on the scale to obtain
your current weight. For a weight only reading:
1. Place the scale on a flat, hard surface. Carpeted or uneven floors may affect accuracy.
2. Step onto the scale platform and remain still. The scale will count up to your weight. The
display will flash 3 times when the weight is locked. Your weight is now displayed.
3. The scale will automatically turn off.
