2. Setup
2.1 Unpacking and Initial Preparation
- Carefully remove the scale from its packaging.
- Remove Protective Wedges: Locate and remove any small cardboard or plastic wedges inserted between the scale's components for shipping protection. Failure to remove these may prevent the scale from functioning correctly.
- Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat surface. Avoid carpets or uneven flooring, as this can affect accuracy.
2.2 Battery Installation
The scale requires 4 AAA batteries, which are included. The battery compartment is located on the underside of the scale.
- Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale.
- Insert the 4 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2.3 Unit Selection
Most scales have a switch on the underside to select between pounds (lb), kilograms (kg), or stones (st). Adjust this switch to your preferred unit of measurement.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 First Use and Recalibration
Before the first use, or if the scale has been moved, it is recommended to recalibrate it for accurate readings.
- Gently step onto the scale until the display activates and shows a reading.
- Step off the scale. The display should return to "0.0" or turn off. This completes the recalibration process.
3.2 Taking a Weight Measurement
- Place the scale on a hard, flat surface.
- Step onto the center of the scale platform with bare feet. Stand still and distribute your weight evenly.
- The display will show your weight. Once the reading stabilizes, it may blink three times and/or emit an audible beep to confirm the measurement.
- You can then step off the scale. The weight will remain displayed for approximately 10 seconds before the scale automatically shuts off.
Note: For consistent readings, always weigh yourself at the same time of day, under similar conditions.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the scale surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.

- Ensure proper disposal of old batteries according to local regulations.
4.3 Storage
