Setup
1. Battery Installation
Your Salter scale requires one CR2032 Lithium battery (included). Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Open the compartment, insert the battery with the correct polarity (+/-), and close the cover securely.

2. Placing the Scale
Place the scale on a hard, flat, and level surface. For accurate readings, avoid placing it on soft surfaces like carpet. If you must use the scale on carpet, attach the provided carpet feet. These feet should be clipped into the existing rubber feet on the scale's base.
3. Unit Selection
On the underside of the scale, locate the unit switch. You can select between kilograms (kg), stones (st), and pounds (lb) for weight measurement. Ensure your preferred unit is selected before first use.

2. Setting Up User Memory (Body Analysis)
The scale can store data for up to 4 users. This data includes gender, height, and age, which are used to calculate body fat, body water, and BMI. It does not store previous weight readings.

- Press the 'SET' button (usually located on the back edge of the scale) to enter setup mode.
- Use the arrow buttons to select a user number (P1, P2, P3, P4). Press 'SET' to confirm.
- Set your gender (male/female) using the arrow buttons and confirm with 'SET'.
- Enter your height using the arrow buttons and confirm with 'SET'.
- Enter your age using the arrow buttons and confirm with 'SET'.
- The scale will then display "0.0" or "0.00", indicating it's ready for measurement.
3. Taking Body Analysis Measurements
- Tap the scale to activate it.
- Press the 'USER' button (or similar, typically on the back edge) to select your personal user number (P1-P4). The display will briefly show your stored height and age.
- Wait for the display to show "0.0" or "0.00".
- Step onto the scale with bare feet, ensuring your feet are positioned on the metal electrodes. Stand still.
- The scale will first display your weight. Then, it will show four small 'o's as it performs the body analysis (this takes approximately 3-4 seconds).
- The scale will then cycle through your weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and body water percentage.
- If your feet are too dry, the scale may only display your weight. Lightly dampen your feet if you encounter this issue.
