FAQ
Q: What size battery does it take?
A: It takes a CR2032 battery.
Q: Does the scale sync with smartphones?
A: No, it is just a scale and does not have syncing capabilities.
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?
A: Some users have reported not using the screw anymore after replacing their battery.
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.
Q: Can it show body fat?
A: No, it cannot show body fat. It is designed to be a portable travel scale to maintain weight or weight loss while traveling.
Q: What are the dimensions of the scale?
A: The platform size is 9"x5" and the product dimensions are 11.07"L x 1.13"W x 11"H.
Q: What would be written on the shipping label? I don't want my roommate to see "bathroom scale" on the label if she happens to pick it up before I do.
A: The shipping label does not reveal the contents of the box.
