Setup and Initial Use

1. Battery Installation:

   Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Open the cover and insert the 3 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery cover securely.
2. Placement:

   Place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Uneven flooring or soft surfaces like carpet can affect accuracy. Avoid placing near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

3. Unit Selection (Pounds/Kilograms):

   On the underside of the scale, locate the unit switch (usually a small button or slider). Press or slide it to select your preferred unit of measurement (lb for pounds or kg for kilograms).
4. First Use Calibration:

   For the first use, or if the scale has been moved, gently tap the center of the scale with your foot to activate it. Wait for "0.0" to appear on the display, then step off. This calibrates the scale for accurate readings.

Operating Instructions

1. Taking a Measurement:

   Step onto the scale with bare, dry feet, centering your weight evenly. Stand still. The scale will automatically turn on and display your weight. The reading will flash when finalized.

3. Tips for Consistent Readings:
   • Always use the scale on a hard, flat surface.
   • Weigh yourself at the same time each day, preferably in the morning before breakfast and after using the restroom.
   • Remove heavy clothing and footwear.
   • Stand still and centered on the scale.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning:

  Wipe the scale with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. The surface is glass with a vinyl top, so avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

• Storage:

  Store the scale in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and high humidity.
• Battery Replacement:

  When the "Lo" indicator appears on the display, it's time to replace the batteries. Replace all 3 AAA batteries simultaneously with new ones, ensuring correct polarity.
