Charge master lite issues

[the big greasy]

I will turn it on and let it warm up for a few hours, calibrate it with the weights it came with and then press zero. It will stay on zero then start going from zero to .2 to .3 all the way up to .8 then settle back down and jump around for a little then zero and never stay at zero. No phones or tvs nearby. Always worked in the I'm in. I tried a bounce sheet allover it. Made sure nothing is binding under the scale plate. Didn't work. I'm hoping this unit hasn't gone bad.

Any air movement in the room. If I move my arm past my scale it will bounce around and then settle.

Why 3 hour warm up?

None, standing 10 feet away from the scale it does this.

I just picked that time, but I always let it warm up a minimum 1/2 hour.

Do you get the audible beep after removing the weights before zeroing the pan? I've never had an issue with mine.

Mine has only bounced around if the HVAC in my house is running or if I didn't calibrate it correctly.

Yeah it beeps before zeroing.

Mine does the countdown to zero at startup, then reads 0 for maybe 3-5 seconds and starts bouncing around.
