ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Programming the Guest Mode

The Guest mode allows you to use the unit without losing the information already assigned to a
Personal Key.

To program the Guest mode, use the G (Down) button to turn on the power. Then follow steps 3
through 5 in “Setting and Storing Data in Memory” (p.6). The unit will beep twice and the display will
show “0.0”. Step onto the platform. Next follow the directions for “Get Your Readings” (p.7).

Note:

If you step onto the platform before “0.0” appears, the display will show “Err” and you will not obtain a
reading. 

Reprogramming a Personal Key

From time to time, you may need to adjust the data stored in a Personal Key, for example, your age
or height.

To add a new user and erase the data of a previous user, or to change already stored data repeat steps
1 though 6 of “Setting and Storing Data in Memory” (p.6). The display will then flash all the new data
to confirm programming and the unit will shut off automatically.

Note:

The previous reading on the Recall feature will only be erased if:
• The new age being entered is younger than the age previously programmed.
• The gender is changed, for example, changing from Female Athlete mode to Male Athlete mode will

result in a loss of your previous reading. 

Taking Weight Measurement Only
Select Weight-Only Key

Using your toe, tap the Weight-only key, “88888” will appear. After 2 or 3 seconds, “0.0” will appear in
the display and the unit will beep. When “0.0” appears in the display, step onto the platform. The body
weight value will appear. If you remain on the platform, the display will flash for about 30 seconds, and
then the power will automatically turn off. If you step off the platform, the weight will continue to show
for about 5 seconds, then “0.0” will appear and the unit will shut off automatically.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

When the batteries run low, the “Lo” message will appear on the display window. When this message
appears, be sure to replace the batteries immediately, since weak batteries will affect the accuracy of
your measurements. Change all the batteries at the same time with new AA-size batteries. The unit
comes with trial batteries—their service life may be short.

Note:

Your settings will not be erased from the memory when you remove the batteries.
