Troubleshooting

• Scale displays "Lo" or no power: Replace the batteries. Ensure they are inserted with correct polarity.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface. Avoid carpets. Make sure your feet are bare and dry. Step on the scale gently and stand still.
• Scale does not connect to app: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Restart both the scale (by removing and reinserting batteries) and the app. Try re-pairing the device through the app settings.
• Body composition data not displayed: Ensure your feet are bare and make full contact with the ITO surface electrodes on the scale. Dry feet are essential for accurate bioelectrical impedance analysis.
• "Err" message: This may indicate an overload (weight exceeds maximum capacity) or a measurement error. Step off the scale and try again.
