5. Special Modes
The Wyze Smart Scale X offers specialized modes for various users and situations:

7. Heart Rate Measurement
The Wyze app provides a convenient way to measure your heart rate directly through your smartphone's camera, without needing the scale:
- Open the Wyze app and navigate to the Heart Rate measurement section.
- Grant camera access to the app when prompted.
- Gently place your finger on the main camera lens (not the flash) and hold it still.
- Use your other hand to cup the back of your phone so the light reflects towards the finger covering the camera lens.
- Hold still until the measurement is complete (typically less than a minute). The app will display and record your heart rate.

9. Troubleshooting
- Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the scale is placed on a hard, flat surface. Stand still with bare feet centered on the electrodes. Body composition data can be affected by surface levelness, standing posture, and foot contact.
- Scale Not Turning On: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
- App Not Syncing: Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the Wyze app has permission to access Bluetooth. Keep your phone close to the scale during measurements.
- Body Composition Data Not Displaying: Ensure you are standing barefoot on the scale. The ITO electrodes require direct skin contact to measure body composition.

12. Important Safety Information
The Wyze Smart Scale X uses Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology. While generally safe, please note the following:
- Body composition data is for long-term trend tracking and should not be used for single medical comparisons or diagnoses. Consult a healthcare professional for medical advice.
- Measure barefoot on a hard, flat surface for the best consistency and accuracy of body composition data.
- Results may be affected by surface levelness, standing posture, and foot contact.
- If you have a pacemaker or other internal medical device, consult your doctor before using the scale, as the electrical currents used for BIA may interfere with these devices.
- Keep the scale dry to prevent electrical hazards.
