Set Up Requirements 

The Lose It! Health o meter Bluetooth Body Analysis Scale features Bluetooth

®

 

4 technology (also called Bluetooth

®

 4.  

Compatible with Apple devices which support Bluetooth 4.0 including:

NOTE: To ensure a personalized experience, only one user account 

can be associated per user with a Lose It! App. Additional users can 

download the Lose It! app and track their metrics and weight loss 

progress from a separate device.

We recommend each user should only sync one device  to their scale. Syncing 

multiple devices per user to the scale may cause the scale to not sync properly 

to the phone. Individual users can access their account data across multiple 

devices via the cloud. 

The scale can communicate with multiple mobile devices through Bluetooth

®

. If 

there are multiple Bluetooth

®

 mobile devices within range, the data upload could 

be delayed as the scale searches for the correct device sync data. 

Please refer to the FAQ section at www.healthometer.com or  

www.loseit.com/devices for a continually updated list of compatible devices.
