Operating Instructions
Taking a Weight Measurement:
- Ensure the scale is on a flat, hard surface.
- Gently tap the scale with your foot to activate it. Wait for "0.0" to appear on the display.

- Your weight will be displayed. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds.
Taking a Body Analysis Measurement:
- Activate the scale as described above.
- Select your user profile by pressing the "UP" or "DOWN" arrow until your user number appears. Press "SET" to confirm.
- Step onto the scale barefoot, ensuring your feet are positioned on the electrode pads. Stand still.
- The scale will first display your weight, then cycle through your body composition readings (body fat percentage, body water percentage, muscle mass percentage, bone mass).
- The readings will be displayed sequentially. Note them down if desired. The scale will turn off automatically.
Changing Measurement Units:
On the underside of the scale, there is usually a small button or switch to change between measurement units (e.g., kg/lb/st). Press or slide this to select your preferred unit before taking a measurement.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. Ensure the surface is dry before storage or next use.
- Battery Replacement: When the display shows a low battery indicator (e.g., "Lo"), replace all batteries with new ones of the specified type. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not place heavy objects on the scale when not in use.
- Calibration: If the scale is moved frequently, it is recommended to recalibrate it by stepping on it briefly to turn it on, then stepping off and waiting for "0.0" before taking a measurement.
