Troubleshooting Scale Messages: Message "rEL Pb" Release push button. "Ldg 0" Loading zero. "CLr Ac" Clear accum/counter Meaning The scale has detected that a key has been depressed for more than 3 seconds. The scale is attempting to zero the scale upon startup.

Scale reading is bouncing or "flighty". Check for air currents and/or vibration around the scale. If that is the cause it may be necessary to set the Digital Averaging to a higher setting to stabilize the reading.
