Cleaning:

Wipe the scale's surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. Ensure the scale is dry before storage or next use.

The Withings Body Scan features a rechargeable battery. When the battery level is low, a notification will appear on the scale's display and in the Health Mate app. Recharge the scale using the provided USB-C cable.

6. Troubleshooting

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface. Make sure your feet are clean and dry, and positioned correctly on the electrodes. For segmental analysis, ensure you are holding the handle correctly and standing still.
• Connectivity Issues (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth): Check that your Wi-Fi router is on and within range. Restart your scale and your smartphone. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. If issues persist, try re-pairing the scale through the Health Mate app.
• Scale Not Turning On: The battery may be depleted. Connect the scale to the USB-C charging cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to turn it on again.
• User Recognition Failure: If the scale doesn't recognize you, select your profile manually via the scale's display or the Health Mate app. Ensure your profile details (e.g., height) are accurate in the app.
