3. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging. Retain packaging for storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Avoid carpets or uneven flooring, as this can affect accuracy.
- Light Exposure: Ensure the solar panel receives sufficient ambient light. The scale is designed to operate in normal indoor lighting conditions. Direct sunlight is not required but can help charge faster if the internal capacitor is depleted.
- Initial Activation: Step onto the scale briefly to activate it. The display should light up. If the display does not light up, ensure it is in a well-lit area.
4. Operating Instructions
- Step On: Gently step onto the center of the scale with bare feet. Stand still and distribute your weight evenly.
- Read Measurement: Your weight will be displayed on the LCD screen. Wait for the reading to stabilize.
- Step Off: Once your weight is displayed, you may step off the scale. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds to conserve power.
- Consistent Measurement: For consistent readings, weigh yourself at the same time each day, preferably in the morning before breakfast and after using the restroom.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Solar Panel: Keep the solar panel clean and free from dust or obstructions to ensure optimal charging.
- Avoid Impact: Do not drop the scale or subject it to heavy impact, as this may damage the internal components.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display does not light up. | Insufficient light for solar panel. | Move the scale to a brighter area. Allow time for the solar panel to charge the internal capacitor. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Scale on an uneven surface; movement during measurement; scale not calibrated. | Place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Stand still during measurement. Step on and off the scale once to calibrate before taking a reading. |
| "Err" or other error message. | Overload (weight exceeds 150kg); internal error. | Ensure weight is within capacity. If error persists, contact customer support. |
