Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Scale: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging.
- Install Batteries: Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Insert the two AAA batteries (included) according to the polarity indicators (+/-).
- Placement: Place the scale on a hard, flat, and level surface. Avoid placing it on carpet or uneven flooring, as this can affect accuracy.
- Initial Calibration: For the first use, or if the scale has been moved, gently step on the scale until a reading appears, then step off. The display will show '0.0' or 'CAL' and then turn off. This calibrates the scale for accurate subsequent readings.

Operating Instructions
This scale features 'Step-On' technology for immediate readings.
- Weighing: Step onto the scale with bare feet, standing still and centered on the platform. The display will show your weight.
- Unit Conversion: If your scale supports both pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg), there will be a button on the underside or side of the scale to switch between units. Press this button to select your preferred unit of measurement.
- Consistent Readings: For the most consistent results, weigh yourself at the same time each day, preferably in the morning, on a flat, hard surface, and wearing similar clothing or no clothing.
