GETTING STARTED
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Unpacking the scale, make sure to keep all the packing materials in a safe place, in case
you need to later transport or return it for servicing.
INSTALL BATTERIES
To insert/replace the batteries:
1. Insert 3 (AAA) alkaline batteries provided
before first use, matching the polarity (+/-).
3. Rubber mat
4. Battery compartment with cover
5. UNIT: Weight unit button
2. Align the cover flat against the battery compartment, and then slide it upwards until it
clicks into place to lock the cover.
Low battery indicator
Please replace the battery when the screen displays .
Please use the batteries we provided at the first time. In the future:
1. Do not use rechargeable batteries. It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries
or consumer grade lithium batteries with this product for longer usage.
2. Reversing the battery polarity may damage the product.
3. Different types of batteries have different characteristics and should not be mixed.
Do not pair old and new batteries together – this can shorten the life of new batteries
and cause old batteries to leak harmful chemicals that can corrode the battery
compartment and cause a rash on your skin. If the batteries leak, wipe the battery
compartment with a clean cloth and wash your hands with warm soapy water after
handling.
4. Remove the batteries if the scale will be in storage for an extended period of time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CONCERNING WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Your scale is the best tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure of weight
loss, scales is the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss success. A scale
measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes bone, muscle, fat and water.
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day, depending on a
variety of factors.
Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
Muscle is also a factor. Heavy-duty resistance training can build muscle, which can
affect weight.
The menstrual cycle can cause temporary weight gains and losses.
Here are 5 rules for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:
Once a week, on the same day of the week
At the same time of day
In the same place
Wearing the same clothes
Using the same scale
To keep track of your weight, record only one number for the week. This will give you a
clear picture of any trend your weight is following.
For Maintaining Weight
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a more
frequent weight-in pattern is helpful. To maintain a stable weight:
Weigh yourself more often than once a week.
Use the “5-pound rule” – research shows that people who keep weight within a 5-pound
range are more likely to maintain a healthy body weight over the long term.
TAKE MEASUREMENT
Please remove and discard the display film strip from the LCD screen.
1. Step on the scale to start to measure.
2. Stand still while the measurement is being taken.
3. The scale flashes and then stops with a beep to remind the
reading is complete.
4. If animated - - - - - (dash mode) displays on the screen, it
means the scale is searching for your mobile device for
connection.
OR
If a name is displayed on the screen, that means the
connection is successful, you can read the measurement in
your application (see details for Scale’s Application).
5. The reading disappears from the screen after 5 seconds.
If ERR displays, the scale is unstable while measuring your weight or the weight
on the scale exceeds the scale’s capacity. Make sure to remain still and place the scale
on a flat surface.
If you step on the Scale but leave it before a final reading, the scale will turn off in
15 seconds.
The Scale is a precise meausring instrument that is most accurate when
weighing a stationary object. To ensure the most accurate readings, always try to stand
on the same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE.
