Operating Your Body Smart Scale
Taking a Measurement
To take a measurement, simply step onto the scale barefoot. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed for accurate readings. The scale will automatically detect your presence and begin the measurement process. For full body composition analysis, it is crucial to stand barefoot as the scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) through your feet.

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| No display or unresponsive scale | Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary. |
| Inaccurate weight readings | Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat surface (not carpet). Stand still and ensure bare feet make full contact with the electrodes for body composition analysis. |
| Connectivity issues (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) | Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is on and the scale is within range. Check Wi-Fi network settings and ensure the scale is connected to a compatible network. Restart the app or scale if needed. |
| User not recognized | Ensure your profile is correctly set up in the Withings app. If multiple users have similar weights, the scale might prompt you to select your profile by leaning to one side. |
