How do I Operate a Cabela's Xt1500 Digital Scale?

Insert a nine volt battery into the battery compartment or connect the scale to a power outlet using the 110 volt AC adapter included with it.

Press the "Power" button on the face of the scale. Remove the plastic lid from the top, exposing the scale's metal measuring surface.

Press the "Tare" button to return the scale's measurement to zero (also known as "zeroing-out" the scale). Choose your unit of measurement (grams, ounces, etc.).

Place the object or substance to be measured in the center of the scale. Record the weight of the item. Remove it from the scale, press "Tare" again and remeasure the weight to ensure accuracy.

Press "Power" when you are finished and unplug the scale from the power source.
