Maintenance

Troubleshooting

• Inaccurate or Inconsistent Readings: Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat, level surface. Avoid moving the scale between measurements. Ensure feet are clean, dry, and making good contact with electrodes.
• Display Shows 'Lo' or is Blank: The battery is low or depleted. Replace the battery.
• Display Shows 'Err' or 'Error 4/5': This typically indicates an overload (weight exceeds maximum capacity) or an issue with body composition measurement. Step off the scale, wait for it to reset to '0.0', and try again. Ensure bare feet are making proper contact with the electrodes for body composition analysis.
• No Body Fat/Water Reading: Ensure you have selected your user profile and are stepping on the scale with bare feet. Ensure your feet are making good contact with both metal electrodes.
