FAQ: Custom Food Code

When in NORMAL operating mode, press and hold the CUSTOM key until the scale beeps twice. This indicates the scale is now in PROGRAM mode.  The display will be blank except for a “U” and blinking “00” in the FOOD CODE display area. The blinking digits indicate that the scale is ready to accept user input.

Enter the two digit (01-99) custom food code number that you want to use and press the CUSTOM key. If you need to zero the entry, the CLEAR key can be used at any time. After you enter the custom food code number, the scale will beep and the 9 nutrient values and Weight (per serving) will appear for programming. 

Starting with Calories, enter the 9 displayed nutrients in grams exactly as they are listed on the Nutrition Facts label. The active nutrient is indicated by the blinking digits. Press the CLEAR key to reset an entry to zero. Always enter the amount in grams or milligrams, as shown on the label.  Press CUSTOM to store the current entry and move to the next entry.

After pressing CUSTOM to store the final nutrient value (Protein) the four digits next to the weight will begin blinking. This is the weight of the individual serving size. Enter the weight of the serving size in grams. 

After pressing CUSTOM to store the Weight per serving size, the scale will calculate the nutritional information per 100 grams and store these values to memory. The scale will then beep twice and return to the NORMAL operation mode. The custom entry is now ready for your use.
