There are 2 methods used to tare the scale:
Method 1: Tare a random weight on the scale.
• Place an item of unknown weight on the scale. (Container, Box, etc.)
• Press the [TARE] key and the displayed weight will be tared. Note that
the NET LED will illuminate to indicate that the scale is now in NET mode.
Method 2: Manually enter a tare.
• With a stable weight on the scale, enter the desired tare weight using the
numeric keypad, followed by the [TARE] key. The NET LED will
illuminate to indicate the scale is in NET mode.

The scale cannot be tared if:
• There is a negative weight on the scale.
• The scale is in motion.
