Setup

Battery Installation

Your Taylor Digital Bathroom Scale requires 3 AAA batteries, which are included. To install or replace batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the 3 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Initial Placement

For accurate readings, place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Avoid carpets or uneven flooring, as this can affect measurement precision.

Operating Instructions

Taking a Measurement

This scale features 'Step On' technology, eliminating the need to tap or activate it manually. Simply step directly onto the scale to obtain your weight reading.

1. Place the scale on a firm, flat surface.
2. Step onto the scale with bare feet, centering your weight.
3. Stand still until your weight reading is displayed and stabilizes on the LED screen.
4. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds of inactivity.

Motion and Light Sensors

The scale is equipped with motion and light sensors that provide temporary illumination in dark environments. When the ambient light is low and movement is detected within a 120° range and 6.5 feet, the LED lights on the scale will turn on for 30 seconds.

Disabling Sensors for Battery Life

To conserve battery life, especially if the scale is in a high-traffic area or a consistently dark room, you can disable the motion and light sensors. Locate the switch on the base of the scale and slide it to the 'OFF' position. This will prevent the lights from activating with motion.

Unit Conversion

The scale can display weight in pounds (lb), kilograms (kg), or stones (st). To change the unit of measurement, locate the unit conversion button on the underside of the scale, usually near the battery compartment. Press this button to cycle through the available units until your desired unit is displayed.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your Taylor Glass Digital Bathroom Scale, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glass surface or electronic components. Wipe the scale gently and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.

Storage

Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures or high humidity, which can affect the scale's performance and lifespan. Do not store heavy objects on the scale when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Inconsistent Readings: If the scale provides different weight readings consecutively, ensure it is placed on a completely hard, flat, and level surface. Uneven surfaces or carpets can cause inaccuracies. Also, ensure you are standing still and centered on the scale during measurement.
• Lights Not Activating: Check if the motion/light sensor switch on the base of the scale is in the 'ON' position. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensors. The lights only activate in low-light conditions when motion is detected.
• No Display/Low Battery Indicator: If the display is blank or shows a low battery indicator, replace the 3 AAA batteries.
• Display Hard to Read in Bright Light: The blue LED display is optimized for various lighting conditions, but in very bright natural light, it may appear less vibrant. This is normal operation.
• Scale Turns On Randomly: If the scale activates without anyone stepping on it, the motion sensor might be overly sensitive or triggered by movement nearby. Consider disabling the motion sensor using the switch on the base if this becomes an issue.
