I was so frustrated with it that I just threw it on the floor and, though broken, it kept displaying the unsettled/uneven error to my chagrin

I changed the batteries, but still got the same error -looks like the word unUsed-Of course- the warranty expired after a year-now I'm left without a scale.

the scale would only display the unsettled/uneven error no matter what I did

I probably got a lemon based on the number of positive reviews on this scale, but I would not be willing to "try again" lest I see that damn flashing error

It died unexpectedly with an error code that wouldn't clear
