Setup
Unpacking and Battery Installation
Carefully remove the scale from its packaging. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Insert the required batteries (typically AAA, not specified in product details, please check your scale) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment cover securely.
Placement
For accurate readings, place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Avoid placing it on carpets, rugs, or uneven flooring, as this can affect measurement precision.
Operating Instructions
Taking a Measurement
- Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat 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" or "0.00" appears, step onto the scale with bare feet, standing still and centered on the platform.
- Your weight will be displayed on the easy-to-read 1.2-inch LCD screen. The display will flash or hold the reading when stable.
- Step off the scale. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds to conserve battery life.
