Cheech&Chong Guardian - 100g X 0.01g

Understanding the specifications helps you see the real-world value of the Guardian scale. This table breaks down what each feature means for you.

Key specs translate directly to a more reliable and convenient weighing experience, from power to precision.

• The 0.01g readability is ten times more precise than a standard 0.1g scale.
• The backlit display ensures you can read measurements clearly, day or night.
• It comes ready to use with two AAA batteries included in the package.
• The auto shut-off feature helps preserve battery life during intermittent use.

Beyond its core precision, the Guardian scale includes smart features that simplify the weighing process. These functions are designed for convenience, accuracy, and ease of use in real-world situations.

How Does The Tare Function Help With Weighing?

The tare function lets you reset the scale's display to zero, even with a container on it. Just place your empty tray on the scale, press the "Tare" button, and the display will show "0.00". This allows you to measure only the contents you add, ignoring the container's weight for a clean, exact reading.

What Weighing Units Can This Scale Measure?

This scale offers six different weighing modes to suit various needs. You can easily switch between grams (g), ounces (oz), troy ounces (ozt), pennyweight (dwt), carats (ct), and grains (gn). This versatility makes it a useful tool for everything from herbs and kitchen use to jewelry.

Does It Have A Backlit Display For Low Light?

Yes, the scale has a bright, backlit digital LCD screen. This light ensures that weight readings are crisp and clear, even in poorly lit areas. You won't have to squint or use a flashlight to see your results, making it practical for any setting.

Thoughtful features like tare, multiple units, and a backlit display make weighing faster and more flexible.

• The "Tare" feature cancels out container weight for net measurements.
• You can switch between 6 units, including grams, ounces, and carats.
• The backlit LCD is easy to read in any light condition.
• Its protective lid can also be used as a weighing tray for loose items.

While the Cheech & Chong Guardian is great for portability and precision, here is a quick look at how it stacks up against other common scale types in a similar price range.

The Guardian hits the sweet spot of high precision and a useful capacity for most portable weighing needs.

• The Guardian offers superior 0.01g precision compared to 0.1g or 1g scales.
• Its 100g capacity is ideal for personal amounts of herbs or jewelry.
• Unlike bulky kitchen scales, it is designed for discretion and travel.
• It balances features better than specialized, low-capacity jewelry scales.

Proper use and occasional calibration are key to keeping your 0.01g scale accurate. Follow these steps for reliable performance and a long life.

How Do You Calibrate This Scale For The Best Accuracy?

Calibration makes sure your scale's readings are correct. While the process is simple, it does require a 100g calibration weight (sold separately). Most Infyniti scales follow a similar procedure:

1. Turn the scale on and wait for the display to show "0.00".
2. Press and hold the "Mode" or "CAL" button until the display shows "CAL".
3. Release the button. The display will then flash "100.00".
4. Gently place a 100g calibration weight in the center of the platform.
5. Wait for the display to show "PASS", then turn the scale off and on again. Your scale is now calibrated.

What Is The Best Way To Care For And Store The Scale?

To protect your scale, always store it on a flat, stable surface away from vibrations or extreme temperatures. Keep the protective cover on when not in use to prevent pressure on the sensor. Avoid dropping it or loading it past its 100g capacity, as this can cause permanent damage. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth only.

Simple calibration and proper care will keep your Guardian scale accurate for years to come.

• Calibrate with a 100g weight (sold separately) for peak accuracy.
• Always place the scale on a flat, stable surface before use.
• Avoid overloading the scale beyond its 100g maximum capacity.
• Store with the cover on to protect the delicate weighing sensor.

How Accurate Is The Cheech &Amp; Chong Guardian Scale?

This scale is accurate to 0.01 grams, giving you high precision for small measurements. For the best results, calibrate it from time to time and use it on a stable, level surface away from drafts.

What Kind Of Batteries Does The Guardian Scale Use?

The scale is powered by two AAA batteries, which are included in the box so you can start using it right away. Standard AAA batteries are easy to find when you need replacements.

Can I Use Coins To Calibrate My Scale Instead Of A Weight?

We do not recommend this. While a U.S. nickel weighs close to 5g, coins can vary in weight due to wear and tear. For true 0.01g accuracy, you should always use a certified 100g calibration weight.

What Is The Cover For?

The hard plastic cover has two jobs. It protects the sensitive weighing platform from damage during travel and can also be flipped over and used as a tray for weighing loose items like herbs or powders.

What Is The Warranty On Infyniti Scales?

Infyniti scales typically include a manufacturer's warranty. For specific details on coverage and claims for this model, please check the papers included with your scale or visit the manufacturer's website.
