Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging.
- Placement: Place the scale on a firm, flat, and level surface. Ensure there are no obstacles beneath it that could affect stability.
- Initial Power Generation: Before first use, or if the scale has not been used for a long time, press the central kinetic power button firmly with your foot several times (2-3 times) to generate sufficient energy. The display should light up.

Operating Instructions
- Activate Power: Briefly press the central kinetic power button with your foot. The display will show "0.0 kg" (or "0.0 lb" depending on the selected unit).
- Weighing: Once "0.0" appears, step onto the scale barefoot and stand still. Distribute your weight evenly.

- Store the scale in a dry place at room temperature.
- The glass surface is scratch-resistant but can still be damaged by sharp objects.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display shows "Lo" | Insufficient kinetic energy. | Press the kinetic power button firmly with your foot 2-3 times to generate more energy. |
| Display shows "Err" | Overload. Weight exceeds maximum capacity. | Step off the scale. Ensure the weight is within the 5-180 kg range. |
| Inaccurate readings | Scale not on a flat, hard surface; movement during measurement; initial calibration needed. | Place the scale on a stable, hard floor. Stand still during measurement. Activate the scale and wait for "0.0" before stepping on. |
| No display | No power generated. | Press the kinetic power button firmly with your foot multiple times until the display lights up. |
