Introduction
The Laica PS5000 Smart Body Composition Digital Bath Scale is designed to provide comprehensive insights into your body's health. Beyond basic weight measurement, this scale connects to the free Fitdays mobile app to track 13 key body composition metrics. These metrics include body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, muscle rate, fat-free body weight, subcutaneous fat percentage, visceral fat, body water percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, protein percentage, BMR, and body age. This manual provides instructions for safe and effective use of your new scale.

The display is illuminated, showing a numerical weight reading. The scale is designed for users to stand on it for weight and body composition measurements.
2. Body Composition Measurement
For body composition measurements, ensure you are connected to the Fitdays app and your profile is set up. Step onto the scale barefoot. The scale will send a low-level electrical current through your body (imperceptible and safe) to measure impedance, which the app uses to calculate various body metrics.
The Fitdays app will display the following metrics:
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Body Fat Percentage
- Muscle Rate
- Fat-Free Body Weight
- Subcutaneous Fat Percentage
- Visceral Fat
- Body Water Percentage
- Skeletal Muscle Percentage
- Muscle Mass
- Bone Mass
- Protein Percentage
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- Body Age
3. User Profiles
The Fitdays app supports multiple user profiles. Once connected, the scale can often recognize different users based on their weight patterns, syncing data to the correct profile. Ensure each user has their own profile set up in the app for accurate tracking.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display or in the app.
