• 8-Electrode Segmented BIA Technology: Measures body composition across five sections (limbs and torso) for enhanced accuracy, unlike 4-electrode scales that only measure half the body.
• Large Color Display: Features a 10.4 x 6.2 cm clear color screen on the retractable handle, displaying weight and 6 essential body compositions simultaneously without needing the app.
• Fitdays Smart Application: Provides detailed measurements for 20 body components, generates professional printable reports, tracks data over time (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly), and syncs with Apple Health, Google Fit, and Fitbit.
• Multi-User Support: Accommodates up to 24 users, automatically recognizing individuals when they step on the scale, ideal for families and fitness groups.
• Eco-Friendly Power: Designed with a Type-C charging method, eliminating the need for disposable batteries. A 2-hour full charge provides approximately 3 months of use. (Note: Some models may use AAA batteries. Please check your product packaging for specific battery requirements.)
• Enlarged Electrodes: Wider electrode area ensures better contact for various foot sizes.

• For AAA Battery Models: Replace all batteries simultaneously when the low battery indicator appears. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types. Remove batteries if the scale will not be used for an extended period.

8. Troubleshooting

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface. Make sure your feet are bare and making full contact with the electrodes. Ensure the handle is held correctly with straight arms not touching the body. Avoid taking measurements immediately after intense exercise, showering, or consuming large amounts of water.
• No Display/Scale Not Turning On: Check battery level. For rechargeable models, ensure it is charged. For AAA battery models, replace batteries.
• Bluetooth Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the Fitdays app is open. Try restarting both the scale (by stepping off and on) and your phone's Bluetooth. Ensure the scale is within range of your phone.
• App Not Syncing Data: Confirm the scale is paired with the app. Ensure the app has necessary permissions (e.g., Bluetooth, location). Check for app updates.
• Discrepancy in Battery Type: Some product descriptions or packaging may vary regarding battery type (Type-C rechargeable vs. AAA disposable). Please refer to the actual product you received for the correct battery type and charging/replacement method.
