Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scale does not turn on. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Replace batteries or check polarity. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Scale on uneven surface; feet not properly placed; scale not calibrated. | Place on a hard, flat surface. Ensure bare feet are on electrodes. Step on and off quickly to calibrate to zero before measuring. |
| Bluetooth connection failed. | Bluetooth off on phone; app not open; scale too far from phone. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled. Open the TrueLife app. Move closer to the scale. Restart both devices if necessary. |
| No body composition data (only weight). | Not standing barefoot; feet not making contact with electrodes; handle not used (if applicable). | Ensure bare feet are on all four electrodes. If using the handle, ensure palms are on handle electrodes. |
