Open the battery compartment on the underside of the scale. Insert the three included AAA 1.5V batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment securely.
- Placement:
Place the scale on a hard, flat, and stable surface. Avoid placing it on carpets, rugs, or uneven flooring, as this can affect accuracy.
- Initial Activation:
Step onto the scale briefly to activate it. The display will show "0.0" or "CAL" and then turn off. This indicates the scale is ready for use.

Operating Instructions
- Weighing:
Ensure the scale is on a hard, flat surface. Gently step onto the center of the scale with bare feet. Stand still until your weight is displayed and stabilizes. The reading will flash a few times and then lock. The scale will automatically turn off after a few seconds of inactivity.
- Zeroing/Calibration:
The scale features automatic zeroing. If you move the scale, it is recommended to perform an initial activation (step on and off) to re-calibrate it before taking a measurement.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it vertically for extended periods, as this may affect accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace all three AAA batteries simultaneously. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
