Care And Calibration Guide
Proper maintenance is critical for keeping any digital scale accurate. Follow these steps to ensure your Infyniti AMP performs correctly.
How Do You Calibrate The Infyniti AMP 500G Scale?
Calibration resets the scale’s internal sensors. You will need a 500g calibration weight (sold separately) to complete this process.
-
Turn the scale on and wait for the display to read "0.0".
-
Press and hold the MODE button until the display shows "CAL".
-
Press the MODE button again. The display will flash "500.0".
-
Gently place your 500g weight in the center of the platform.
-
Wait for the display to show "PASS". Calibration is now complete.
-
Remove the weight, then turn the scale off and on again to check.
How Do You Maintain The Scale's Accuracy?
To avoid common errors like reading drift or overload messages, always use the scale on a flat, stable surface away from drafts. Store it at room temperature and avoid extreme heat or cold. If you see an "O-LD" overload error, remove the excess weight immediately to prevent sensor damage.
