Berkley Digital Lip Grip scale, Problem

keithdog · 07-27-10, 10:58 AM

Recently I purchased a Berkley Digital Lip Grip scale. It appears fairly easy to use, a no brainer tool. Turn it on, grip the fish by the lip, hoist and see how much the fish weighs. The only trouble with this one I bought is that quite often after turning it on, I can't get any weight to appear on the scale readout. It's turned on, but reads 0.0 most of the time no matter how much weight it is holding. The battery is brand new. Sometimes I can turn it on and pull on the grip and there will be a readout of the weight of pull. About half the time it just shows 0.0 no matter how hard you pull. I've never owned one of these scales before and it didn't come with much in the way of instructions. Is there a trick to using these things or do I just have a defective one?
