Setting Up Your Scale

1. Remove the scale from the packaging and place it on a flat, stable surface.
2. Remove the protective tab from the battery compartment located at the bottom of the scale.
3. Ensure the battery is properly placed and securely fastened in the compartment. If necessary, unscrew the battery door about 1/2 - 3/4 of a revolution to fix any connection issues.
4. Slide the glass platform apart to reveal the digital readout.

Using Your Scale

1. Step onto the scale with both feet, positioning them on the glass platform with your toes slightly hanging off the front edge. It may take some practice to find the best stance for balance.
2. Hold onto a wall or counter for support if needed, but make sure not to apply any downward pressure, as this can skew the reading.
3. Wait for the scale to display your weight. The scale will blink when it has locked onto the correct weight.
4. Step off the scale and read your weight on the digital readout.
5. Slide the glass platform back together and store the scale in a safe place when not in use.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the scale is not displaying any numbers, check the battery connection and ensure it is properly secured in the compartment.
• If the scale is displaying inconsistent or inaccurate weight readings, try repositioning your feet on the platform or using a different surface for the scale.
• If the scale is still not working properly, try replacing the battery with a new one.

Q: Does the scale sync with smartphones?

Q: How do I operate it? I stand on it and it stays dark and doesn't show any numbers.
A: Please ensure that you have working batteries in the scale. You also need to stand on the scale for a few seconds before the numbers appear. The scale should be set by standing on it until it starts to register the weight, then getting off and waiting for it to display "O". You can then weigh yourself. If you move the scale at all, reset it. Also, make sure that the scale is on a flat hard surface. If there was a tab that needed to be removed for the batteries to work, please check if it has been removed. Lastly, the display is not backlit, so it needs to be viewed in a reasonably lighted area.

Q: Which is the correct way to stand on this scale? Every time I weigh myself, I get a different reading. I threw away the instructions.
A: Stand sideways! Turn the scale so that it is standing with the short side at the bottom and the long side up and down. This will allow you to fit your feet on the scale much more easily and accurately.

Q: Love this scale but am having battery trouble. One needs to unscrew the compartment, and the screw just keeps rotating without ever loosening. Help?

Q: Is it possible to change it into kilograms?
A: No, but if you divide by 2.2, you can get kilograms.

Q: What country is it made in?
A: It is made in China.
