Battery Information
Your scale has a lithium battery installed that will provide a lifetime of operation when used in
a typical household. Under heavy usage (Health Club, Wellness Clinic, etc.) the battery may
eventually need to be replaced.
Battery Replacement
1. Use a 3 volt CR 2032 lithium battery only (installed).
2. Open battery compartment on bottom of scale by pushing tab in direction of “open”
arrow and lifting up hinged lip.
3. Insert a small screwdriver into slot in holding bracket and pry up on battery until it
pops-out. The plastic bracket will deform to get the battery out but will still catch the
new battery with its tab.
4. Place the new battery with “+” sign up on angle with one side under the tab
opposite the holding bracket and push down.
5. Push down on lid until it clicks shut.
Low Battery
Your scale is equipped with a low battery indicator. It will display “
LO
” when it is time to
replace the alkaline battery. Replace the battery when “
LO
” is displayed or readings
grow dim or become irregular if the battery needs replacement.
Trouble Shooting
In Case of Difficulty
...
1. Place your feet in the same position every time you weigh yourself.
2. Weigh yourself without clothing whenever possible. Clothes can vary in weight.
3. Move scale to a location where it won’t be bumped. If your scale is bumped while
being activated or while in use, an inaccurate reading may occur.
4. For the most consistent readings, weigh yourself at the same time of day.
5. Allow for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.
Precautions
1. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove stains, use a mild
soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents,
or sprays. Do not attempt to lubricate or open scale casing as this will void
your warranty.
2. Although your scale is designed to be maintenance-free, it contains sensitive
electronic parts. Avoid rough treatment. Do not drop, kick, or jump on it. Treat it
with care to ensure the best performance.
3. This scale is designed to read weights between 25 and 330 lbs./12 and 150 kgs.
To prevent damage do not place more than 330 lbs./150 kgs. on it.
4. Do not store scale where you store cleaning chemicals. The vapors from some
household products may affect the electronic components of your scale. Do not
store scale on its side.
5. This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device in order to prevent run down
of the battery, do not place anything on the scale.
Reaching Target Weight
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most
widely accepted measurement of weight according to health professionals. Use the chart
below to determine your own BMI by matching your height in the left hand column with your
weight in the center. Anyone, male or female, with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered overweight
and a body mass index of 30 is considered obese. Remember to eat right and exercise.
