5. Troubleshooting
- Inaccurate or Inconsistent Readings:
- Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat, and level surface. Carpets or uneven floors can cause discrepancies.
- Make sure to step onto the scale gently and stand still. Shifting weight can affect the reading.
- If multiple readings vary significantly, try removing the batteries for 10 seconds and then reinserting them to reset the scale.
- "Lo" or No Display:
- This indicates low battery power. Replace all 3 AAA batteries with new ones.
- "Err" Message:
- This typically means the maximum weight capacity (440 lbs / 200 kg) has been exceeded.
