First Time Setup

1.This scale operates on two lithium CR2032 batteries (pre-installed). There is a red strip under the lithium batteries to prevent battery drain in shipping. Remove the red strip before continuing with these instructions.

2.Some models have a static cling label on the lens to prevent scratching. Remove before use.

3.Set the “LB/KG/ST” unit of measure switch located on the back of the scale for pounds, kilograms or stones.

Note: The switch is pre-set to pounds.

4.The scale needs to be initialized before first use or after battery replacement. Press lightly on the scale platform. The display will turn on, then show “0.0” and automatically turn off. The scale is now ready for use.

Note: The scale may need to be initialized if it is moved or bumped.

3.When your weight stabilizes, the display will flash, and then show your weight.

The weight reading will show for a few seconds. Then the display will return to “0.0” and turn off to conserve the battery.

2.Weigh yourself at the same time of day under the same circumstances.

3.Allow for weight fluctuations due to food or drink in your system.
