new scale questions

[starway6]

I got my new cheap chineese ..[20 gram to 0.001].. pocket scale and im a little confused what these modes mean?
They go... g/oz/ozt/ct/gn ... anyone know one means millgrams??:?:
It doesnt really say mgs anywhere in book ..this scale is a jewlers scale

G is probably grams

Why not simply weigh something of a known weight -less than 20 grams- then cycle through the different modes?

milligrams are figured from grams (g).

When set on grams, 0.001g = 1mg; 0.005g = 5 mg; 0.050g = 50 mg; & 0.500g = 500 mg

Thanks much!..ill just set it on grams and let it figure it out
..I mistakenly thought one of the other modes were for mgs only...
