To re-weigh an animal while on the scale, press the red Power/Tare button while the previous average weight is shown on the display. After unloading the animal, press the red Power/Tare button to reset the display for the next animal.
- dIr (Direct Readout): This setting reads the direct weight of the display.
- SCr (Scaled Readout): This setting provides an instant readout for weighing with the scale.
- Note: Requires (2) AAA batteries that are not included with the display.
