Operating Instructions
Weighing Yourself
- Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface.
- Step onto the center of the scale with both feet. The scale will automatically turn on and display your weight.
- Remain still until the weight reading stabilizes and locks on the display. The display hold function will keep the weight visible for a few seconds after you step off.
- The scale will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity to conserve energy.
Changing Weight Units (Pounds/Kilograms)
The unit conversion button is typically located on the underside of the scale. To change units:
- Turn the scale over.
- Locate the unit button (often labeled "UNIT" or "lb/kg").
- Press the button to toggle between pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg).
- Flip the scale back over and step on it to confirm the new unit setting.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scale does not turn on / Display is blank | Insufficient kinetic charge. | Step firmly on the scale with one foot, then quickly step off to generate a charge. Wait a few seconds, then step on again to weigh. |
| Inaccurate or inconsistent readings | Scale is on an uneven surface; scale needs re-calibration; movement during weighing. | Place the scale on a hard, flat surface. Step off the scale, wait for it to turn off, then step on again. Remain still during weighing. |
| "Lo" or low power indicator displayed | Kinetic charge is low. | Step firmly on the scale several times to generate more kinetic energy. |
