A: I did this too. That 50.0 is just a sticker! If you remove it the correct screen is displaying underneath!
A: When the power button is pressed, 88.8 should appear and after a few seconds, "0.0" should appear. When the padlock icon is on it is in locked mode which means the weight will lock in and stay on the screen when you release the item you are weighing. If you do not want to use in the lock mode, you can press the kg/lb button repeatedly, you will see the image on the right side of the screen go from locked, to unlock, then to peak mode. Each mode use is described in the instruction manual. Travel Smart

A: Hope this helps . . . INSTRUCTIONS BASIC FUNCTIONS The power button is used to turn unit on/off and reset it. The kg/lb button is used to change weight unit and to select the weighing mode. In all modes, the most accurate reading is achieved by lifting your luggage slowly and steadily and holding your luggage still. In case the luggage moves, the scale takes multiple readings and compares those before displaying stabilized weight reading. Three weighing modes are available: • Lock mode (locked padlock icon) – Most accurate mode. Scale locks in on weight after several seconds. • Unlock mode (open padlock icon) – Scale is continuously weighing luggage. Please note the display does not lock in on one weight reading. This mode should be used for adding or removing weight. • Peak mode (graph icon) – Most convenient mode. Scale locks in weight within less than half a second. Please note: Travel Smart® Luggage Scale weight may vary slightly from air port scales. Weight unit selection To change the weight unit from pounds to kilograms or vice versa, press the power button to turn it on and hold the kg/lb button for 2 seconds, until the former unit (kg or lb) starts to blink, then press the kg/lb button again to change unit measurement.
