      Edward MarquezAug 25, 2025
      If, after pressing the “WT HOLD” Key and placing a weight on the Salter Brecknell Scales, the weight does not hold in the display and the “ ???? ” continues to flash, it could be due to the following reasons: * The scale is not in a stable environment. Remove the item and place it back onto the scale. * Not enough weight is applied. The minimum weight required for the weight hold feature to work is 1 pound.
