2. Setup and Initial Use
2.1 Battery Installation
Your scale comes with 3 AAA alkaline batteries. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Open the compartment cover and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment. Close the cover securely.
2.2 Scale Placement
For accurate readings, place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Avoid placing it on carpet, uneven flooring, or soft surfaces, as this can affect measurement accuracy.
2.3 First Use and Calibration
Before your first use, or if the scale has been moved, it is recommended to calibrate it. Gently tap the scale platform with your foot to activate it. Wait for the display to show '0.0' or '0.00'. Once '0.0' is displayed, the scale is ready for use. This process ensures the scale is properly zeroed for accurate measurement.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Taking a Measurement
- Ensure the scale is on a firm, flat surface.
- Gently tap the scale with your foot to turn it on. Wait for the display to show '0.0'.
- Step onto the scale with bare feet, centering your weight evenly on the platform. Stand still.
- Your weight will be displayed on the large blue backlit LCD. The reading will flash a few times before locking in.
- Step off the scale. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds to conserve battery life.

4. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Clean the scale with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a dry place. Avoid storing it upright against a wall, as this may affect its zero calibration. Horizontal storage is recommended.
- Battery Replacement: When the display shows a low battery indicator (e.g., 'Lo'), replace all three AAA batteries simultaneously. Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Avoid Impact: While durable, avoid dropping the scale or subjecting it to heavy impact, as this can damage the internal components or the glass platform.
5. Troubleshooting
- Scale Not Turning On:
Check if the batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary. Ensure you are tapping the scale firmly enough to activate it. Some users find tapping slightly forward of the center or near the display helps. - Inconsistent Readings:
Ensure the scale is placed on a completely flat, hard, and stable surface. Uneven flooring or soft surfaces (like carpet) can cause variations. Try moving the scale to a different spot. Ensure you are standing still and centered on the scale during measurement. - 'Lo' or 'Err' Display:
'Lo' indicates low battery. Replace the batteries. 'Err' may indicate an overload (weight exceeds 400 lbs) or a measurement error. Step off the scale, wait for it to reset, and try again. - Display Shows '0:00' and Circles:
This can indicate a calibration issue or a fault. Try removing the batteries for a few minutes, then reinserting them to reset the scale. Ensure the scale is on a stable surface.
