Replacing the Batteries

This unit uses four (4) AA batteries. When "LO" appears on the display, replace all batteries.

Note: Removing batteries resets the Date and Time, but recorded data is not affected.

4. Replace the battery cover.
5. Set the Time/Date (refer to "Adjusting Time and Date" section).

Troubleshooting

If "E" appears on the upper row of the display, it may indicate:

• You stepped on the scale before it displayed "0.0".
• The scale cannot detect a stable weight (stand still while weighing).
• The load has exceeded the scale's capacity (350 lb / 159 kg).

Note: The display turns off automatically after 20 seconds of inactivity.

It is normal for your weight to vary during the day and from one day to another.

Caring for Your Scale

Periodically wipe the scale surface with a DRY cloth to remove dust.

Important: Weight exceeding the capacity (350 lb / 159 kg) may damage your scale. This product is designed for personal use only, not for commercial or industrial use. This unit is not waterproof; avoid excessive moisture.
