  1. Place the scale on a hard, flat surface.
  2. Step onto the scale with bare feet. Ensure your feet are positioned on the electrodes.
  3. Stand still until your weight is displayed and stabilizes.
  4. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds.

Taking a Body Analysis Measurement

  1. Ensure your personal profile is set up in the Beurer HealthManager Pro app and paired with the scale.
