5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Taking a Weight Measurement
- Ensure the scale is on a flat, hard surface.
- Gently tap the center of the scale with your foot to activate it. The display will show "0.0" or "0.00".
- Once "0.0" is displayed, step onto the scale with bare feet, standing still and centered on the platform. For body fat measurement, ensure your bare feet are in contact with the four metal electrodes.
- Your weight will be displayed and will flash a few times before locking in. Step off the scale once your weight is stable.
- The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds of inactivity.

5.2. Body Fat Measurement (If Applicable)
While the product title indicates "Body Fat", the provided images and detailed specifications do not offer specific instructions or display indicators for body fat percentage. If your model supports body fat measurement, ensure your bare feet are in full contact with all four metal electrodes on the scale's surface. The scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to estimate body composition. For accurate readings, it is recommended to measure at the same time of day, under similar conditions.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Clean the scale with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature.
- If the scale will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| "Lo" or "Err" on display | Low battery power. | Replace all 4 AAA batteries. |
