4. Using Carpet Feet (Optional)
If you intend to use the scale on a carpeted or soft surface, attach the included carpet feet to the underside of the scale. This ensures accurate measurements by providing a stable base.
Operating Instructions

Place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Step onto the scale barefoot, ensuring your feet are centered and evenly distributed. The scale will automatically turn on and display your weight. The patented positioning support technology will guide you to the correct posture for accurate measurements.

2. Understanding the Display
The scale's OLED display provides immediate feedback. After weighing, it shows your current weight and BMI. It also displays a trend graph, indicating your weight progress over time, allowing you to quickly assess your trajectory.
3. Using the Health Mate App
All weighing data is automatically synchronized to the Health Mate App. You do not need to have your phone with you during each weigh-in if the scale is connected to Wi-Fi. The app provides detailed graphs, historical data, and insights into your weight and BMI trends. It also syncs with over 100 top health and fitness apps, including Apple Health, Fitbit, and Google Fit.
