Panther; 600g X 0.1g, Pocket Scale

What Technical Features Define The Panther Scale?

Looking at the Panther scale's main specs helps show why it's a trusty tool for accurate measurements. Every feature is designed for good performance and simple use.

The Panther's specs offer a balance of high capacity and fine precision suitable for everyday use.

• The 600g capacity is higher than many other pocket scales.
• 0.1g readability is standard for accurately weighing dry herb.
• Powered by common AAA batteries for easy replacement.
• Supports six different units of measurement for versatility.

What Makes The Panther Scale User-Friendly?

The Panther pocket scale includes smart features that make weighing simple. It has an easy two-button setup to turn it on/off, switch units, and use the tare function. The bright, backlit LCD screen ensures you can see your readings clearly in any light, helping to prevent mistakes. To save battery, the scale also has an auto shut-off feature that turns it off after it hasn't been used for a while.

Does The Protective Cover Work As A Weighing Tray?

Yes, it does. The Panther scale’s hard plastic cover serves two purposes. While traveling, it snaps shut to protect the sensitive weighing platform and screen from damage. When you're ready to weigh, you can flip the cover over and use it as a shallow tray. This is very helpful for holding loose materials like ground herb, keeping your station clean and making sure all your material is measured.

Smart features like the dual-use cover and backlit display make this scale convenient and practical.

• The included cover doubles as a weighing tray for loose items.
• A backlit LCD display allows for clear readings in any light.
• Auto shut-off function helps conserve battery life.
• Simple button layout makes changing units or taring easy.

How Does The Panther Compare To Other Budget-Friendly Scales?

While the Panther scale offers a great mix of features, it's good to see how it compares to other options. Here’s a quick look at popular pocket scales we carry at Honeybee Herb, all for under $30.

The Panther is a top choice for its high capacity and solid 0.1g precision in the under-$30 category.

• The Panther offers a higher 600g capacity than many 0.01g scales.
• Its 0.1g precision is ideal for dry herb, unlike kitchen scales with 1g increments.
• While less precise than 0.01g scales, it handles a much larger weight load.

How Do You Get An Accurate Reading Every Time?

Getting a perfect measurement means having a stable setup. Things like drafts, vibrations, or an unlevel surface can make the readings change. You can use the tare function to ignore a container's weight. Just place the empty container on the scale, press the "TARE" button to set it to zero, and then add your material.

Accuracy Checklist:

1. Place the scale on a flat, stable, and vibration-free surface.
2. Let the scale sit at room temperature for 60 seconds after turning it on.
3. Use the protective cover as a tray to hold loose items.
4. Press "TARE" to zero out the empty tray's weight before adding material.
5. Keep the scale away from air conditioning, fans, or breezes while weighing.
6. Make sure you are using fresh batteries for consistent power.

How Do You Calibrate The Panther 600G Pocket Scale?

Calibration keeps your scale accurate over time. The Panther needs a 500g calibration weight (sold separately) for this process. It is best to calibrate in a stable place without drafts or big temperature changes.

Step-by-Step Calibration:

1. Turn the scale on and wait for the display to show "0.0".
2. Press and hold the "MODE" key until the display shows "CAL".
3. Let go of the "MODE" key. The display will flash the needed calibration weight (like "500.0").
4. Gently place a 500g calibration weight in the center of the platform.
5. Wait a few seconds. The display will show "PASS" and go back to normal weighing mode.
6. Remove the weight. Your scale is now calibrated.

Proper use and regular calibration are key to maintaining the scale's long-term accuracy and reliability.

• Always use the scale on a flat, level surface to prevent drifting.
• Calibrating with a 500g weight resets the scale's accuracy.
• The tare function allows you to weigh materials in a container accurately.
• Fresh batteries and a stable environment are crucial for correct readings.

How Do You Properly Store And Clean This Pocket Scale?

To make sure your Panther pocket scale lasts, good care is important. Always store it with the protective cover on to avoid damaging the weighing surface. Keep it in a dry place, away from extreme heat or moisture. Never put the scale in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.

To clean the stainless steel platform, use a soft, damp cloth. You can use a mild cleaning solution like isopropyl alcohol if you need to. Wipe gently and dry it right away. For a quick clean, a simple microfiber cloth works well. Always make sure the scale is off before cleaning and that the battery area stays dry.

Simple cleaning and proper storage will protect your scale and extend its lifespan significantly.

• Store the scale with its protective cover on at all times.
• Clean the platform with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemicals.
• Replace the two AAA batteries when the low battery indicator appears.
• Avoid dropping the scale or exposing it to moisture.
