calibration procedures. Under normal circumstances, platform A should 

not require calibration. Platform B may be calibrated if you notice 

an error greater than ±0.2g when checking with calibration weights. 

Only use a real calibration weight. Do not use items such as coins to 

calibrate as this will degrade accuracy.

weight. Using the wrong weight will cause inaccuracy.
