Key Features:

- Weight Capacity: Up to 300 lbs (136 kg)
- Dial Size: Approximately 4.5 inches

Setup
Proper placement of your scale is crucial for accurate measurements.
- Choose a Flat, Hard Surface: Place your scale on a firm, level surface. A hard floor is recommended for maximum accuracy. Avoid placing the scale on soft surfaces such as deep pile rugs or carpets, as this may affect weight accuracy.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for accurate weight measurement:
- Zero Adjustment: Before each use, locate the zero adjustment control. This control is typically found at the foot of the scale. Turn it left or right until the weight indicator on the dial points precisely to zero.
- Step On the Scale: Carefully step onto the scale platform. Position your feet to distribute your weight evenly across the entire surface.
- Read Your Weight: Stand still while the scale stabilizes and read the measurement displayed on the dial.
NOTE: It is normal for body weight to fluctuate throughout the day and from one day to another. Slight variations in your weight are generally normal and do not indicate a malfunction of the scale.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Health o meter Dial Scale, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the scale surface down with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a dry place. Its compact design makes it easy to store when not in use.
CAUTION: This scale is designed for personal use only and is not intended for commercial or industrial applications. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs (136 kg), as this will damage the scale. The scale is not waterproof; avoid contact with excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Health o meter Dial Scale, consider the following:
- Inaccurate Readings:
- Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat, and level surface. Soft surfaces like thick carpets can cause inaccuracies.
- Verify that the zero adjustment control is set correctly before each use, with the indicator pointing to zero.
- Ensure your weight is evenly distributed on the scale platform.
- Scale Damage:
- Avoid exceeding the maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs (136 kg). Overloading can cause permanent damage.
- Keep the scale away from excessive moisture or water, as it is not waterproof.
If problems persist after following these steps, please refer to the Warranty and Support section for assistance.
